No! Gordon was just racing! I am not a fan of Gordon, or Kenseth (btw, it was Karma), but Gordon just gave a light tap like all the drivers do! Kenseth shoulda got the heck outta his way! Kenseth attracts drama (w/Kurt Busch, Gordon, Stewart)!
It was a bummer Kahne was having such a rough day! I was glad he kept getting the lead lap back, though!

I don't get it. When Earnhardt Sr. spun people out it was ok. But when Gordon does it, everyone freaks out and gets pissed off. Since most people seem to be Jr. fans, and it was Jr in that position spinning Kenseth out, I'm sure you'd be okay with it. Just because Gordon isn't a southern boy doesn't mean everyone should hate him. He's a good racer, and has four championships to prove it.
When fans started showering Gordon with debris again after the race, it makes NASCAR fans look like crap. It's embarrasing, bunch of rednecks. Have a little bit of class at least.
So no, Gordon should not have been black flagged. It was racing. It was an accident. Kenseth slipped up a bit. Oh well.
And by the way, I am not a Gordon fan. I'm for Harvick and Burton. I just think you guys need to chill with trashing Gordon just because he's a good driver.

Well I don't know about black flagging him,but right after Jeff said he was sorry and didn't do it on purpose he said that Matt had already blocked him twice and he had another good run on Matt and he wasn't about to lift.Now if I'm not mistaken the way it's supposed to work the lead car has the lane he's in and instead of spinning someone out you are supposed to work your way around them.Jeff's own words tell me he could have avoided Matt but chose not to because Matt had blocked him twice all ready.That sounds like on purpose to me.Should Nascar have thrown the black flag on Jeff Gordon probably not.Was it payback for Bristol,probably so.Did Jeff Gordon prove himself to be a liar,sure sounded like it to me.personally I don't have a dog in this fight ,I'm not too crazy about either one of them.Gordon obviously had the better car at the end I think he would have won either way he actually drove a great race up to that point.

The Intimidator would be proud. Nothing against Kenseth; he's a good driver. But lately racing's been pretty tame. I like it when drivers show some determination and ambition on the track. Otherwise it's just four hours of guys going in circles all day, hoping a rookie doesn't plow into a wall or nobody's engine drops out. Good on Gordon for bringing some danger and drama to the track.

The Low Life does it again. I cannot believe that the Hendrick motorsports team are constantly able to get away with blatant cheating, dirty driving, and constant shenanigans. I am almost to the point as to where It seems as though there is a conspiracy between Gordon, J. Johnson, and The France family all sucking each other off in some sort of a Hendrick Motorsports circle jerk. In light of today's blatant maneuver, he still would of won. There is no reason to get away destroying a $250,000 race car because you suck dick on your off time. I HATE JEFF GORDON, JIMMIE JOHNSON, and The France Family. If you read nascar.com you can search and find an article from sometime last week about the conspiracy for nascar to do whatever it takes to get Jeff :The *****: Gordon into the chase. I am extremely disappointed in the officials of todays race!

No Jeff Gordon did not Wreck or have anything to do with Matt Kenseth...if anyone actually WATCHED the race you would have seen in the replay that Kenseth Checked up and then Gordon could not do anything about it BUT nudge him..
GORDON DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That just shows how big of a jerk he really is! :( He can't even pass someone clean, he has to spin them out! He did it on purpose, he even said that he wanted to spin Matt out! THAT'S CRAP! I'm not a Kenseth fan, but I know that was wrong! I'm mad he won b/c in my opinion he didn't deserve it. Most guys wouldn't have spun him out, they would have waited until they both got by Casey, then try to pass Matt. But no, not the 'wonderful' Jeff Gordon! He's not wonderful, that just shows he never got over Matt spinning him out at Bristol, that's a LONG grudge! I disliked Gordon before the race, now I really HATE HIM! He is SO immature it's sad! I think they should fine him $50,000 & ALL the points he got for that race, 180 points! Bottom line: HE DID NOT DESERVE TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jr. was 5th today & 3rd in points!!!!!!!! GO # 8!!!!!!!! :)

Nope, I truly believe it was a racing deal and Kenseth just slowed up. You can not black flag someone for racing, that isn't right. Jeff Gordon did not do anything wrong. (And trust me I AM NOT A GORDON FAN AT ALL, I LIKE HARVICK-who gets screwed by nascar for everything)

Kenseth said in the interview that it was partly his fault, so no Gordon should have not been black flagged. Kenseth wasn't when he spun Gordon out at Bristol

I don't necessarily think he should have been black flagged but I think taking away some points or penalizing him by suspending him from Louden was in line. Until they do something like that Gordon wont stop and he is a danger to all other drivers on the track as far as I am concerned.
