Nascar - Jeff Gordon
 

Out of all the Hendrick cars, Gordon is having a terrible season so far. Very uncharacteristic of him. Its said all the Hendrick teams share set-up and tech info. Dale Jr. and Jimmy Johnson seem to be in the battle but not Gordon.

Has he lost his touch?

Gordon hasnt lost his touch. The 48 has been off in a few races this year also. All the teams are trying to get a handle on the new car, just as they did back in the early 80s when they went to the small/downsized cars.

Re: Nascar - Jeff Gordon
 

Hendrick and Gordon have not lost their touch. The other teams have just caught up with them. Hendrick had great success last year with the C.O.T. in the races that used them. Historically Gordon never runs well at Texas, he will be in the hunt soon.

Re: Nascar - Jeff Gordon
 

Testing was not allowed at Texas this year so nobody had any data to use for setup. His car was junk when it rolled off the hauler and they just couldn't get it turned around. Gordon's team is and has been the best at making in-race adjustments but Sunday they were too far off the mark to start. He'll be in the final 12.

I got into a NASCAR pool with some of my buds, and by the time they asked me if I wanted in, Gordon was seemingly the best choice left so I took him. Given my luck, it is definitely my fault Gordon is having problems. I am afraid that he is cursed now for this season. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif He is only costing me an average of 8 dollars a week, I hope he gets his shtuff together soon. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

NASCAR blows these days (look at the track attendance #'s and TV ratings) It is boring, they all drive the same cars and there are not many "personalities" left in the sport anymore. Start the Trans Am series up again.!

Re: Nascar - Jeff Gordon
 

Well said Sully. It should be called the toyota series now.I tried to watch some of the last few races. Makes me sick to see what it has become. They had some rap music or something like it for the introductions. Unreal.

Re: Nascar - Jeff Gordon
 

I only watched the last 30 laps. What a waste of my time. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif
Good cars(?)or drivers getting whacked at the end, can't stand this junk anymore. It was the first NASCAR racing I've watched since Daytona. I'm ready for a major change.

Re: Nascar - Jeff Gordon
 

Watch some of the old races from 15-20+ years ago. Not a highlight reel (which many think of), but just a random race. You might be surprised that it isn't the thrill-a-minute, edge-of-your-seat racing that we "remember".

Its a down year as far as racing quality, I think a lot has to do with the teams learning a new car. Not unlike the early 80s when they went to the small car. Attendence is down, TV ratings are up. Might have a little to do with the economy.

Over the last 10 years or so, there have been more close finishes than there were previously. It isnt what it used to be, where only a handful of cars had a realistic shot at winning, and you don't see only a handful of cars on the lead lap like it was many times.

There is still some work to do to improve, but I don't think its as bad as so many cry about.
