NASCAR thank you so much for creating this Gen 6 car. I don't care about racing, i am just happy when i look at those cars go around I feel like i am watching a regular car.

I don't recall this but then again there was little racing shown between the commercials. And Junior and Jeff are only teammates by definition, deep down I think Gordon hates Junior. He bitches about him every chance he gets, I think most of it goes back to when Junior was dominating restrictor plate racing and how aggressive Junior was. It's ok for Jeff to do it but not Junior.

I've seen him win twice and finish 2nd I believe to Tony Stewart at Atlanta. Saw him win the 2002 Daytona Busch race. But I also saw him pull out and try to pass Waltrip in Pepsi 400 and lose because of it.

They had a bitter, bitter rivalry during the Jr.'s hale and hearty days at DEI. Not surprising at all. I know I still got some leftover hate for Jr. Nation

I will give him credit for picking Junior pre-race though. I think he was picking him to win today, it was hard to understand in the interview.

Gordon doesn't bitch about Jr every chance he gets. It must bother the Earnhardt fans that Sr and Gordon got along pretty good off the track. Hell Sr mentored Gordon.

I'm willing to bet Gordon and Johnson don't get along that good.

This.

Gordon and Earnhardt were fierce competitors on the track but off the track they were pretty good friends. Earnhardt took Gordon under his wing and, as the above says, mentored him. I don't know why Earnhardt fans show such resentment toward Gordon (and vice versa) when the actual drivers had nothing but respect for each other.
