Nope...the only people complaining are some of the Jeff Gordon fans who can't seem to like the fact that Jeff isn't the dominating driver in Nascar anymore. There is more talent now and some of his fans seem to be ticked off that Jeff isn't getting the total spotlight!
I love it how there are some fans who want to point the finger at other drivers for their drivers faults. Tony Stewart has admitted that he has had problems and has caused wrecks. He did so last night on The Dave Despain show when he admitted that he accidentally wrecked Kasey at Dover and that if he could go back he would change what he done. Tony is not a whiner nor is he a crybaby...he isn't afraid to speak his mind. Tony is vocal and doesn't make apologies for being that way. Drivers like Tony Stewart are exactly what Nascar needs.
Now...look at Jeffypoo. He wrecks Matt Kenseth at Chicago and claims that it was only a racing inccident, yet if another driver so much as put a scratch on his car then that driver was trying to wreck him on purpose. Seems to me and to a hell of a lot of other Nascar fans that Jeff Gordon is the one with the problem with complaining!!
Jeff needs to learn that he is not the God of Nascar and that he can too do wrong. He also needs to learn to take blame for when he makes mistakes and not to blame others.

Some people cannot stand a winner and like it or not, Jeff is a winner. He has won more at this point in his career than almsot anyone else ever has. Richard Petty captured many of his wins when they ran 50-60 races a year. No, Jeff is not washed up or past his prime. Sr. did not do most of his winning until he was in his mid 30's. His championships were at age 28, 34, 35, 38, 39, 41 and 42. Jeff won his championships at age 24, 26, 27 and 30. He may never win another championship, but like him or not, he is still a winner.

Gordon is a good driver and he has the talent but he lacks the pesonallity to go with it.
He has stated that he will run over people to win.He has said he will go to the media when NASCAR will not listen.Yes Tony has his faults but so does every driver in NASCAR.
After Dale Sr passed there was no voice to be heard that NASCAR listen to.Rusty tried,Tony trie,Mark Martin tried and Gordon.But their voices were not heard.So each in their own ways tried to express their selfs with action s on the rack,off the track.Some just shut up and run race to race and others whinned.Who did what is everyones oppinion.I have watched this sport for 40 years and there has been a Gordon,Stewart,Johnson,Earnhardt with NASCAR all the time the names change but the voice the same.
It is time for the fans to stop whinning and enjoy the race.But if they do what kind of questions will we have?

I agree 100%
The Gordon haters have nothing else to say, so they say he is a whinner. Yet I have never heard an example of his whinning. I am positive that he has gotten frustrated at times as well all the other drivers. If they did not get frustrated when something bad happens then I would wonder if they even cared about racing.
I agree that Tony is one very good example of whinning. It is never ever his fault. I am glad we have a perfect driver like him in Nascar.. lol.
I have heard Gordon take the blame on several occasions. He also never balmes his team.

The biggest whiners are the fans. It is amazing the way people can twist a drivers comments to say what they want. Just because a driver makes an observation and has the "nerve" to express it on camera does not mean he is whining.
PapaBill you have a lot of wisdom!

You are right! I guess I'm not watching the same thing that these haters are watching because I never see him complain. Tony Stewart complains all the time. It's never his fault if he wrecks, well that is what he thinks anywayws.
I'm with you on this one. I think Gordon is a stand-up guy and a great driver.

Apparently, you don't know what you are talking about. I'll admit Tony does have a temper and has said and done things I don''t condone but one thing is he is a real man and does fess up when he makes mistakes.
Case in point, last night on Wind Tunnel. Tony went on and on about being sick about crashing into Kahne. Now if that was Gordon, he probably would have blamed Kahne for being there for him to crash in to!
Also, Tony always has help bump drafting and some are people that aren't even with JGR. Meanwhile, Jeffie can only rely on his teammates because no one else likes him enough to want to help him. With his recent crying about Jr bump drafting him, I can hardly wait for the next restrictor plate race.
