Default Robby Gordon is a clown! - 08-04-2007 , 07:24 PM






How the hell does anyone take this guy seriously? He is in his own
world, thinking he won the Busch race today. I hope NASCAR suspends
him from ALL competition for a weekend.

Up until now, I actually felt sorry for Robby, being a one car team
owner/driver and all, and with all his struggles to make races last
year, and all his troubles with NASCAR over the years. Not any more!
He's almost as big a bonehead as the guy who was declared the
winner.

Some people do just not want to go along to get along. Some people just
march to the beat of the drummer inside them.

Robbie Gordon brings more color to NASCAR than a dozen Jimmie Johnsons ever
would.

Or it could just be that poor old Robbie was dropped on his head as a child
which would explain his basic hatred of people.

If you ever seed this old movie called "Cool Hand Luke" or something like
that it may recall you of Robbie Gordon and his James Dean iconoclast
stance.

Watching someone make a complete fool of themselves does add 'color'
I guess but I'm not sure it's a very attractive color. An offensive
odor might also go along with that certain color.

What has happened to the integrity of our society when we think
someone being a jerk is refreshing and just that person being real.
Whatever happened to being a good person, a good sport, and role
model for our youth. (shakes head)

Nice post. There used to be "good guys". I think they're still around.

Thank you and, yes, thankfully there are a few of those left.

I don't think he was being a jerk. I think he was just pissed. He felt
like he got screwed and stood his ground. Look, I don't like the guy
personally, but I don't think that he was out of line .... *this
time*.

Looked to me like he was throwing a tantrum. Doing burnouts while
Harvick was celebrating his win seemed unnecessary, excessive. Just
a difference of opinion.

Notice he actually tried to drive into Victory Lane but a swarm of
NASCAR officials stopped him.

Next time someone doesn't want to get in line: 1. Throw a red flag.
2. When Robby stops, pull his hood pins and remove his distributor.
3. Road course, local yellow for the rest of the race--Oval, call a
wrecker.

Sure, Robby may have a beef and NA$CAR is Orwellian, but this was
pathetic.
