ATLANTA ---- RACE thread

[dpkimmel2001]

Alan: "Good stop, guys." Jeff Gordon - "Yea, good stop guys. Keep an eye on where that #22 is running."

 

[harkin]

Logano's crew, 8 seconds on the right side.

 

[StandOnIt]

The #22 crew didn't do him any favors. 1st to 6th.

ah they probably gave him the super grip tires..cole trickles old ones.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Alan: "Tires look real good now, Jeff." Jeff Gordon - "Alright, good."

 

[BobbyFord]

22 will be in the fence before this thing is over

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Coke Racing Family - is there a Chaser in the bunch?

 

[ElliottFan]

wow, 24 with a terrible start

 

[Charlie Spencer]

wow, 24 with a terrible start

Not as bad as the #5.

 

[ElliottFan]

and more bad luck for the 5 car. when will it end?

 

[StandOnIt]

Gordon isn't used to being on the front row.

 

[Reck]

Gordon should be penalized. Worst tire spinning I've ever seen.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Coke Racing Family - is there a Chaser in the bunch?

biffle, logano

 

[Charlie Spencer]

and more bad luck for the 5 car. when will it end?

behind the wall, apparently.

 

[BobbyFord]

That all started when Gordon spun the tires.

 

[#17D500winner]

Well, people yelled for Kahne to use his bumper....

 

[BobbyFord]

I like the looks of the 48

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Kahne can still clinch a wild card tonight as long as he is only driver with 2 wins who isn't locked into top-10.

 

[StandOnIt]

first of many prob.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Jeff Gordon with yet another pathetic restart.

 

[Lazyking]

watch for that outside lane n restarts to be a problem all night. Not Gordon's fault. no grip

 

[#17D500winner]

Gordon had his hands full

 

[StandOnIt]

sounded like he was in the wrong gear..

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Knaus says 48 is "ruined"

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Can anyone tell if Kenseth running into him was because he was slow getting going, or if that's what caused him to slow down?

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Keselowski Truex Kenseth warned to make sure they restart properly.

 

[Lazyking]

Yesterday, on restarts, the outside lane was a issue every time..

 

[BobbyFord]

...Not Gordon's fault. no grip

The guys behind him apparently had grip...

 

[Reck]

sounded like he was in the wrong gear..

There was alot of revving for sure. Mainly when Kenseth got into the back of him. Probably even lift him some.

 

[racer8]

sounded like he was in the wrong gear..

I doubt that.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Kenseth said he was just giving Gordon "a little push. Guess I won't do that anymore.''

 

[#17D500winner]

sounded like he was in the wrong gear..

Something was going on there when the showed his in-car...he was grabbing gears like crazy

 

[Lazyking]

The guys behind apparently had grip...

so? if you watched the nationwide race, you had to expect something like this

 

[ElliottFan]

did the 20 hit Gordon causing the bad restart?

 

[Reck]

Can anyone tell if Kenseth running into him was because he was slow getting going, or if that's what caused him to slow down?

A bit of both I think.

Kenseth is always running into Gordon no matter what so you cant tell with that guy.

 

[Reck]

Kenseth said he was just giving Gordon "a little push. Guess I won't do that anymore.''

Cant stand that idiot.

 

[BobbyFord]

24 was in the way

 

[BobbyFord]

Gordon in the way...again

 

[FenderBumper]

How does Jr get away with hanging back so far on restarts?

 

[ToyYoda]

Jeff Gordon is just awful on restarts.

 

[ted@economy]

Would Chad please give the ok to restart the race please.
