I for one hate Robby Gordon. Spun under yellow or not, he acted like a six
year old whos mother refused to by him Ice Cream. He doesn't deserve to even
drive a golf cart for NASCAR.

year old whos mother refused to by him Ice Cream. He doesn't deserve to
even
drive a golf cart for NASCAR.

Why? Because he isn't a politically correct, corporate shill?

He qualifies regularly for the races, runs competitively in most of the
races, and has won two races so far in Cup. He drives for and owns a single
car team, has missed a race this year, yet he remains in the top 35 in
points.
While I am not the biggest fan of RG, he certainly belong in Cup more than
about a dozen or so other drivers who race regularly in the series do.

He is a good driver I won't deny that. Many drivers show their ass when they
feel they have been wronged by the officials, he just took it to a new
level. Almost like a madman on the track. I lost the rest of what little
respect I had for him at that point.

his tantrum was the most entertaining moment this year.

you are right about that, I was very entertained. In fact I was down right
laughing at the audacity. That one will rank high with my end of year top
ten moments, right along side the shrub brothers taking each other out at
the all-star race....

I'll bet you just loved AJ Foyd.

Good Point...AJ is one of my all time favorite drivers. You just form an
opinion about someone and it's hard to change it, thats where I am with
Robby.

More ammo for a non RG fan:

RG did the only thing he could do to hopefully overcome the finish
IF Na$car changed their minds on the ruling.
Results are more important than opinions.

Robby drove for AJ and likely developed some of AJ's more endearing
characteristics during that time. Like being outspoken, not being
pushed around on or off the track. And not accepting BS from officials.

So you're opinions seem inconsistent.

You're probably right, but AJ is an Indy legend, thats why he's one of my
favorites. I'm just not crazy about Robby, never have been, and this latest
incident just adds fuel.
