Gotta admit, it was one Helluva finish. Jeff shoulda given a few more shots on the horn, tho. Jimmie blocked waaaay too hard. Give Gordon credit for not sticking it to him

I would agree. I'm not a Gordon or Johnson fan, but if you're the 24 team and you know the 48 team has one of the best shots at beating you out of the championship, why are you going to give them all the help they can get? I understand offering some info because they are teammates, but not the whole setup! I think it's Gordon's fault for not taking Johnson out. He should have squeezed Jimmie into the wall and taken the win. I can't stand Jimmie Johnson's personality. Although it is much like Gordon's, it is just a copy. Jimmie just seems a little fake.

Actually Jeff is part owner of Jimme's car and told Hendrick to sign him so he has the right to be upset because of this and not just because Jimmie blocked him at martinsville.

The problem at martinsville is that it is only one grove in the corners meaning at Jimmie let him pass him he would have no chance of winning so Jimmie did the right thing.

If it were at at two groove track like Atlanta and Gorden was right behind him then Jimmie would have drifted up high in turn 4 and give Jeff the inside line.

You get a quicker speed if you draft up high and of course the inner grove is shorter so they would have been able to fight for the finish side by side for the win.

But at a one groove racetrack you can't do that again because theirs only one groove.

If it were at any place but Martinsville or Bristol I think that's what would have happened.

Jeff has the right to be upset but Johnson also did the right think at that predicament at that track.

Remember Jeff still has the points lead and Johnson is still trying to catch up so Johnson adding up all the circumstances did the right thing.

I've been watching NASCAR for years, and I'm not sure if its Jimmy Gordon and Jeff Johnson, or Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon??? Go Tony!!! Yes, they should withhold a few set-up details, hardest part about that tho is that Jeffy Poo is part owner in Jimmy's car, so he has rights to that stuff, ya know?? And Jeff doesn't mind if Jimmy wins because its money in his pocket. I mean, look at Ryan Newman these last few years now that Rusty is gone?? Where is Ryan these days? Yeah, sharing within a team can be helpful, but where do you draw the line on that??

I completely agree. Jeff has been giving Jimmie all their setups, but when Jimmie has a great car and Jeff doesn't they do the same things. I loved the ending and the race was great as they were bumping and grinding the last few laps and I respect Jeff for not wrecking his teammate. He said that he would have to move him and he did everything possible to win but it jsut didn't happen. He deserved that win and Jimmie should of gave it to him. Had it been any other driver and not Jeff, they would have wrecked him for the win, but my question is when is Jeff going to get to win? He's had all these chances to win and just got robbed the last few laps and finished 2nd. I think once they start winning they are going to be the team to beat. I think that the COT will really benefit them while all the other teams are struggling to figure it out the Hendrick teams will be riding the luck. I just wish that Jeff would have won. Had their been a few extra laps he would have. Jeff was extremely disappointed and I could see it in his eyes. He really wants to win and he jsut keeps getting robbed. I respect Jeff alot for racing him teammate clean and I doubt Kyle Busch would have raced Jeff or Jimmie that clean but those two are an awesome duo. I love Hendrick!!!! Go Jeff Gordon #24!!!!

Thank You.. I'm glad someone understands racing unlike most of these ignorant fools. What do people expect? For Jeff to climb out of the car and be happy? Grin ear to ear and say how he loved losing that race? He voiced his displeasure and whether you wanna call it complaining or whining or whatever... IT'S AMERICA BABY! You all would of crawled out of the car saying the same stuff Jeff said... So all you GORDON HATERS can SH*VE IT

you are right on if gordon would not have helped johnson he might have struggled today i to think jeff is on his game now and will probally win alot of races and have a good shot at a 5th championship for sure he will easily pass earnhardt on the all time win list i personally am a kahne fan but i gotta say jeff gordon is one of the best if not the best ever to strap into a racecar so all of the #24 haters out there its going to be a long year for you the 24 is back!

JEFF WAS MAD AND RIGHTFULLY SO !! HE GIVES JOHNSON THE SET- UP AND JIMMY DOES THIS TO HIM!

JEFF HAD TO MUCH TO LOSE TO RECK HIM BEING OWER AND TEAM MATE

BUT LIKE JEFF SAID AFTER THE RACE AT MARTINSVILLE ..

.I RACE DRIVER THE WAY THEY RACE ME !!!

I THINK THE REST OF THE SEASON WILL BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE!!

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JEFF AND JIMMY..

.I DON'T THINK JEFF WILL RECK HIM BUT HE WILL NOT BE GETTING TO MANY BREAKS FROM JEFF!!

GO # 24

Jimmie is my driver but I have to say if it was anybody else Jeff would have wrecked them and not taken the crap he took Sunday. And I hate to say this but Jimmie should have let Jeff pass. if it would have been me I would have knocked his butt outta the race. But I am glad my driver won..

I agree with you. but Hendrick motors brags about how they are a family oriented team and they are expected to help eachother. I agree Jeff should of won because he was better then Jimmy..but that is racing. I am a big Gordon fan and I like Jimmy.
