Farm Truck
Kinda strange that the Kyle isn't driving his truck, but Denny is. Harvick isn't driving a RCR truck, but driving for NTS that has Hornady and Newberry. So NTS is going with three trucks.
I remember when he had a loose wheel and got a few feet from being 4 laps down and passed the entire field under green three times to race his way back and get on the lead lap and won.

I do too. (Of course)
That was so vintage Gordon. Loved it.
I prefer the little pictures of the Sun and blue sky's please.Weather forecast remains the same.
I was there, and it happened in segments with the help of several cautions but it happened and I still have the race on DVD and watch it every few years. He was 3 laps down with the leader right behind him which would have been 4 laps when he got back on track if he hadn't worked his way forward quickly, he only got one free pass so in essence he passed the equivalent of the field three times to win. But you see it your way and I'll see it mine.Passed the entire field under green three times to race his way back and get on the lead lap? lol
That's sounds like a great story, and I wish I could say it's true but it never happened. He came from 3 laps down to win, but not by lapping the field 3 times under green.

there is nobody in the stands..infield is empty..Nascar has ruined racing as we know it..every since they went to the bigger tracks like Martinsville and got away from the dirt tracks..ol man France is going to go broke. dirt tracks are by far the best racing.Fur more days.....
Driving back tomorrow and heading off to the track on Sunday morning... been at the Drive for Diversity Combine all week.
I've been reading your tweets. How far are you from M'ville?
I live an hour and a half or so away from Martinsville Speedway. Right now, I'm over in Buckroe Beach in Hampton.
OK, so he was in front of the leader twice when a caution came out to get 2 laps back, and he got the lucky dog once from another caution to get the 3rd lap back.
That is not passing the field under green 3 times no matter how you spin it.
He raced from the back and got lap 3 back, raced from the back and got lap 2 back, got the free pass and raced from the back at the end of the longest line and won the race, passed the field 3 laps under green, It's not spin It's factOK, so he was in front of the leader twice when a caution came out to get 2 laps back, and he got the lucky dog once from another caution to get the 3rd lap back.

YEP.Passing the leader under green while lapped constitutes "passing the field" as well.
Gordon was 40th at one point. What do you think he had to do? That's passing an entire field of cars. Last time I check, there was 43 cars running at any given races.
Should be great -- beating and banging plus watching Jimmie dominate? Kyle Busch is pretty good here too...
In the morning. Yes, we'll be taking the long leisurely ride south. Leaving around 7:00. Should be there by 5:30 tomorrow afternoon.Hey dp, you're hitting the road tonight or early morning? Have a blast and stay safe buddy.
Nah...last time I checked he has the second best oddsLOL Busch sucks here bro.
He's getting better but he's more miss than hit at this place.

how did that go?Driving back tomorrow and heading off to the track on Sunday morning... been at the Drive for Diversity Combine all week.
When the caution comes out the lead lap cars and the lap down cars behind the leader slow down and the pace car picks up the field. Lap down cars in front of the leader can then hall ass around the track to rejoin the back of the pack.
Now back in 05 they didn't have the double file restart rule, so lap down cars started on the inside line. Because of that, Gordon didn't have to restart at the very back of the pack each time like you're saying. He probably restarted near the front at least a couple times so he didn't pass the entire field three times under green to pass the leader after the restart.
Coming from 3 laps down to win is pretty amazing on it's own. No need to embellish it with things that never happened.
But the fact he was 40th means nothing to you? I dont care if he started side by side with the leaders. He still had to make those passes to get back to first from last.
Its not all that hard of a concept to grasp.
