Due to damage in final practice, @JeffGordonWeb will go to backup car for race. 24-907 raced at Chicago, Charlotte and Texas in '14.

Well after watching practice I guess they can go ahead and give JJ the trophy already.

yeah he looks really strong, but it is 400 miles

24 to a backup car? Damn!

100 fewer miles than last week, but as Jimmie and Harvick proved last week, you can come back from the rear of the grid with the right car.

Hope he does a Kez on her...or a Boyer.

The hits just keep coming.

And those idiots didn't show it on tv after practice.

Jeff probably got to close to her like Hamlin

From what I've read, she was already sideways off of two when he ran into her. It sure would be nice to see some footage.

@TheOrangeCone

If Danica spins and cameras don't catch it, did it really happen?

Jeff Gordon's decision to wreck at every race track on his farewell tour is certainly an odd one.

Throwing it back to 93' for old time's sake.

 

[Lin]

And two DNFs so far. Coincidence?

and now he's going to a back up

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Jeff Gordon from 43rd to 1st.











"pepsi"

 

[DaBiff1618]

that wasn't one and two big difference..shows team speed IMO. They are hardly ever close.

I just told you otherwise

Had to put the basketball game on I guess. They could have covered it on Nascar RaceDay though. It's Nascar RaceDay not Xfinity RaceDay.

Sadler got by on being far more likeable than Vickers. He also got his first win in the #21 at Bristol, Vickers got his by wrecking Dale Jr. at Talladega.

................................AND the 48!!

I think that there are some drivers that would consider murder to get a Cup win.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Pushing the primary back into the hauler.....

Da bomb......oh how 2002 lol

Da bomb......oh how 2002 lol

I'm really surprised he didn't say it was the bee's knees. I'm just sayin.

Lol I was gonna say, we dropped the 'da' from "da bomb" about 10 years ago.

I was in the bathroom. My grand daughter wrote that. I'll tell her your thoughts on it.

That woulda been me for sure.

Is she in a back up too?
This sucks for jeff.

Hate it for both of them

Thanks for the info.
Any tweets from Patrick? I can't find any

I don't follow her specifically.

 

[Reck]

Danica is useless.

That primary car was a good one, too.

Won at Michigan and Indianapolis last year with it. Thanks Danica.

Im sure she did not mean to spin in front of him. I hate it too.

I did check her twitter (boring race) She doesn't tweet much and there's nothing there since about 7 hours ago.

Obviously. Pretty rook move spinning with a minute left of practice though.

Yeah. bad move by her. I would like to have a radio clip. I know she was saying something about a tight car in the earlier practice. Likely got too tight. I wonder if thats what we will see tomorrow...lots of spins?

 

[beantownkid10]

No one ever "means" to spin.

Unfortunately, the less talented drivers tend to do it more than the more talented drivers.

But typical 24 luck, every week getting caught up in someone elses garbage.

One of them 'racing deals. Sucks because 2 drivers I like were caught up in it

 

[Reck]

Oh well, with a solid car you can win here from the back.

Kyle Busch has done it in the same situation. Got pole, changed engines, went to the back and won it.

And if the last two weeks is any indications, you have a good shot at it.

My problem is, will Gordon avoid the inevitable hacks who will spin all around him when he comes back to the front? Absolutely cant afford to crash out of this race. Just cant.
