My vote goes to Jamie McMurray for his cheap shot after Robby got loose under him.
And ESPN for crucifying Robby over what was clearlya racing incident.

My vote goes to ESPN/ABC for their rediculous overuse of the in-car camera. Three-wide racing, and we were treated to a closeup of Biffle's hood. Yay.

Have to agree, Gordon's the bonehead. Week after week he falls a lap, or more, down then holds up those racing the leader. I realize how hard it is to give up a position if you're competitive but a lap or two down and holding up those that are competitive proves boneheadedness.
Robby was trying to get every position he could out of it.I vote you for bonehead because apparently you did not watch the race, I don't blame jamie for what he did, he had the best car of the season and robby's aggressive way runied what could of possibly been jamie's best run of the season.

He didn't do anything wrong.
The car got loose from under him.
It's happened to Kyle Busch. It's happened to Jamie McMurray (not like he's the cleanest driver ever). It happens to everyone.
Wrong place, wrong time.
That was a racing incident.
Then McMurray felt the need to retaliate under caution.
Robby shouldn't roll over and play dead.What exactly is Robby "Roadblock" racing for? He's 32nd in points. At least give the top 20 a break, huh?
Carl is, ultimately, the driver. He didn't have to leave the pit stall.Hey, gotta add Bob Osborne to the bonehead list for taking two tires when the driver asked for 4. Especially, when leading and everyone else was pitting, too.
Robby shouldn't roll over and play dead.
The man's fielding his own cars and owns his own team. He's gotta earn everything he gets out there.
If he rolled over and played dead every race, I guarantee he wouldn't even be in the top 35. Robby Gordon is a real race car driver, someone who fights for every position, the type of racers you'd see at a local short track. They have a flag for drivers in the way to let the leaders pass. They didn't display it to Robby so obviously NASCAR didn't have a problem with it.
Perhaps you should send your postcard of complain to John Darby.

Looked like Robby just drove into the corner over his head. Jamie obviously saw that he did that as well. When a guy drives over his head and takes you out you got the right to be pissed.

How come it's "driving over his head" when Robby Gordon does this thing.........
..... but any time any other driver does it, it's a "racing incident"?
Robby got loose.
We see that ALL THE TIME with this new car when they've got somebody right beside them.
It happens every race with this new car.
Robby was racing hard. McMurray got impatient and tried to pass high. Because of the car being next to him, Robby's got loose and he had NO WAY of saving it without running into McMurray or otherwise causing a 10 car crash.
It was a racing incident, plain and simple.
Had Robby not been there, McMurray might've had a top-5. Had McMurray not been there, Robby might've saved it and went on.
I don't know, why don't you tell us. You are guilty, maybe even more so than some, of doing this exact same thing. How many times have you posted about Kyle or Jimmie or numerous others of "running out of talent" when they got loose.

Robby races everybody hard......he has the right to try and hold his position and actually gets more exposure while the leader is trying to pass
So, while I cant believe myself, I actually have to agree with Andy
But if he pulls over and lets the leaders go by, he's in the same boat as those others. He DOES GAIN track position in terms of seconds when he fights.Your position is directly related to the cars on the same lap that you currently are on. Cars one or more laps ahead of you have are not a threat to your position...
But still.The leaders were already gone Jamie was trying to get back to the front.
Jamie must have forgotten about last week when HE made a bonehead move and wrecked Busch's chance at the Cup Title.
If it were the other Gordon, or Jr who hit "Jamie never going to amount to anything McMurray" then all of you would be saying it was "just a racing deal."
But Robby is kinda like Kyle, everyone is always going to hate him...

WNY24Fan has been one of the more objective fans when it comes to discussing J. Gordon.
