So this is from someone who's never watched NASCAR before so take this with a grain of salt.

Is this dude doing anything wrong, or are all the rest of these drivers a bunch of bitches? Didn't Dale Earnheart make himself a legend by doing this stuff?

Again, never watched this stuff outside of highlights and SC segments so maybe I'm missing something.

I don't pay much attention to the sport but for Jeff Gordon to react to him like he did I would think Keselowski is doing something that isn't kosher

but I don't really know

few threads on it already


the biggest misconception in all of them though is people using Earnhardt as an example of he did it and everyone was fine with it.

Young Earnhardt was absolutely hated and even when he died a big portion of the fan base still hated him. After he died everyone who didn't like him looked back and saw how remarkable his run was and that's why hes still so popular.
But Earnhardt was a polarizing figure as there was.

Seems like a lot of drivers dislike him.

There was a gap, BK went for win, Gordon came down on him. Gordon looks like a bitch on this one IMO..are there some hidden rules on passing in NASCAR?

Eta: guys like Keselowski make me want to watch an otherwise boring event
he goes for the win.

Keselowski has been doing this all year, all the drivers hate him now.

The difference between him and Earnhardt is, dale didn't hide from anyone, brad does something then runs away

As a casual fan, i hate when drivers say "you cant do stuff like that"

what the frick do you mean? he was going for the win. and honestly watching that clip, he did a great piece of driving. I think all this stems from JG being pissed at himself for leaving his butthole wide open on the track and taking it out on Keslowski for gettin up in it.

The timing of when it happened, the diff in points and how close they are, Kesolowski desperate to stay in chase, Gordon loses points when he had an easy top 2/3 finish, not only did Kesolowski wreck him he took him out of chase lead, it was pretty low class of him to do it that way, he could've raced him hard and both would have been top 3

Exactly, douche or not, what was he suppose to do with a whole like that, hold Back?

Gordon Came down on him because #2 shot the gap and Gordon was surprised..so Gordon is the dick this time, which in racing sometimes you have to be to win. It bit Gordon in his arse this time

Agree with everything you said.

Gordon came down on BK. He didn't have to. He wasn't going to go into the wall otherwise.

BK made a great move and probably surprised him. The fact that BK's car cut his tire shows that BK had the space.

The whole Hendrick team races like there is a script.

I understand both sides to this. Yes, JG left a hole open now if it was big enough for Brad K to make a move idk I'm not a race car driver. Anyways Brad has the right to go for the win. JG got mad bc Brad K ruined him possibly making the championship round. I think it was just a heat of the moment type thing.

Gordon ruined himself, he came down on Kes. When he saw Kes had enough Juice to pass or compete he should of held his position and race. He tried a dick move and it cost him

You can make the same agrument that Gordon was going for the win just like Brad. I think what really set JG off was Kes walking away.

I did! JG was trying a dick move to bump Kes and keep him from passing, and it bit him in the arse. In racing you have to be a dick to win sometimes.
