Robby Gordon pass under the yellow
Boy what a cementhead move, breaking a gentleman's agreement and apply the bump and run on Ricky Rudd and passing him under a caution. Ricky is going to put Robby in the wall at some point down the road and it will be deserved.

Unfortunately, R. Gordon's pass under yellow was not his first boneheaded move and probably will not be his last.

Eh, Rudd tried to punch him in the quarterpanel right after, so he can't exactly claim sainthood. I'm not going to say Robby drives as intelligently as he should, though... He's becoming increasingly frustrated every time he loses on a road course, because by all rights, he should be dominant on them... And as the frustration increases, so do the mistakes. Battling with Harvick at Sears last year was a mistake that cost him that race... And now laying back too long and then suddenly panicking and smacking into every car in his way was a mistake. Robby just drives too much with his heart, and not enough with his head.... On raw talent, he's one of the very best in this field.

How or where does Robby get the $$ to keep running his cars, or I mean playing bumper cars, this guy is just and idiot! When he drove in CART he wasthe most hated driver by everyone. I think he deserves a punch in the nose or a head on into the pit wall!

I wonder what Richard Childress did to deserve 2 drivers of the same mentality, Harvick and Gordon. at least he has one sane driver in Jeff Green.

I can't help but wonder why Childress would hire Robby Gordon in the first place, much less keep him. He wrecks about 70% of all cars he gets into. But what does he care? They aren't his cars, and it isn't his money he's throwing away.
Not to mention, I realize Harvick hasn't quite lived up to expectations, but I certainly don't see why Childress would take Earnhardt's former team and give it to Gordon. If you ask me, that was a bonehead move as well. Green would have been a much better choice to give a Championship caliber team to. But just like every other hated driver in any series, I think his presence is needed. After all, if you don't have somebody to throw yer TV bricks at, ya might as well be watching cartoons. |
