Jeff Gordon fined and issued probation

[Wasch_24]

$10,000 fine and on probation until Bristol in August.

Got the scoop on "Dialed IN" on XM.

Slap on the wrist. But I think the punishment fits what he did. Not too harsh and not too easy.

What'd he do, steal the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? :hysterica


aaaahhh i crack myself up...

 

[tobby4]

ha nice... just a little slap on the wrist there.....

 

[Jwrussell]

Panties in a wad somewhere I guess. It was a shove. At least it wasn't more.

 

[kirscovitch]

yea. and the smartest thing he did during the whole thing was keep that helmet on.... lol

 

[tobby4]

i need to see the video of what happened

 

[MichiganM]

I'm surprised he lost his temper. He is usually a pretty nice guy.

He violated NASCAR's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy

ha thats awesome....

 

[tobby4]

well then maybe I dont want to see the video of what he did

I think the fine was uncalled for. However, Jeff should of not pushed Matt like that tho, at least with the camara in his face. There are other ways to deal with situations

This is a track that breeds anger, U all know I'm #17 fan, How ever, Matt shouldn't have gone over that soon (WTF was he thinking, he said that in the TV interview), Gordon shouldn't have pushed him. Here is a new spin, That God Damn Kurt Busch has not won a race without spinning or turning someone, that is the guy who going to get someone hurt. Yes Gordon was battling with a few people all day long. Now #88 should have gotten the hell out of the way, He was down 4 or 5 laps and he is still holding up the leaders (WTF is up with that)................

I miss the old days when Dale E would have just said just this "it's just racing" and smiled and gone back home. Next week, if he needed to, he'd put someone's ass into the wall! Ah, the good old days...
