Gordon wins. Gordon wins. Holy sh**. How is that possible

his four tire gamble and the 40 pushing the he$$ out of him at the end. Thought for sure Kurt had it won, he and kyle were strong all race. Kenseth did the ole` and I cannot blame him, Gordo about took his rear end off with the burst he got from that bump. That was phenominal. He took off like a rocket. Good win, clean, though I would have liked a different outcome. Should be a great 500. LOT of good racing already.

They keep talking during the Truck Series Qualifying that Jeff Gordon is haveing a hard time passing Post Race Inspection. His car is too low and they keep going under the car for some reason. They have alos said that he will more then likely start in the rear of the field on Sunday.

#24-Jeff Gordon will start 42nd in Sunday's Daytona 500 after failing post-race inspection following the second of Thursday's two 150-mile qualifying races. Because the infraction -- the rear panel was almost an inch low -- was not considered intentional to create a competitive advantage Gordon will be allowed to keep his victory in the race. Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president for competition, said no further penalties would be levied against Gordon's team. It was the third straight day NASCAR's governing body passed out penalties at Daytona International Speedway. Gordon was unaware of the issue until informed during his post-race interview. "That would really suck," he said. Pemberton said the shock fastener and spacers used to hold the rear shocks that are installed during pre-race preparation for restrictor plate races were misaligned. He said it likely was a mistake made by the mechanic. "We felt it was unintentional," Pemberton said. "Actually, it was unsafe. We felt it was a part failure and unintentionally done."(ESPN.com)(2-15-2006)

even better, I am SURE Hendrick hires a bunch of incompetent mechanics who cannot fasten a shock properly. RIIIIIGGHHHHTTT!!!! Probably have a bunch of trained chimps with toolbelts for pre-race setups. I REALLY buy that one. WHO is the bigger cheat? The teams or the governing body? so if he is disqualified, relegated to the back of the field, how does he KEEP the win? Granted I am interested in the second place guy for OBVIOUS competitive reasons haaa haa.

Kinda funny how everybody else got suspended and fined and then they let Gordon off. Sounds Fishy to me.
I agree-- let the favoritism begin!
