Jeff Gordon & Jimmie Johnson Have At It
Jeff Gordon’s New Enemy May be the Best Thing to Happen to Him
Jeff Gordon once had a pretty tough driver racing against him to keep him on his toes and make him race his best. That driver wasn’t afraid to bang on Gordon’s bumper, question his manhood and hang nicknames on him like WonderBoy.
That driver was Dale Earnhardt.
Dale would intimidate Gordon and keep him on his toes. Dale Earnhardt made Jeff Gordon a better driver.
It should come as no surprise that Jeff Gordon hasn’t won a championship since 2001.
But now Gordon has a new enemy. Jimmie Johnson. Gordon and Johnson are taking NASCAR’s suggestion to “have at it, boys†to heart.
As Jeff Gordon was passing the No. 48 at Talladega Sunday Johnson moved Gordon out of the racing groove and Gordon fell through the field like a rock. Before he could regain his momentum Gordon was involved in a wreck.
“I can tell you the 48 is testing my patience. It takes a lot to make me mad and I am pissed right now.”
“He’s been testing my patience and it’s about reached its boiling point.”
“I was coming 10 mph faster than anybody. I don’t know what it is with me and him right now, but whatever,” Gordon said.
Last week at Texas Gordon moved Johnson out of the way in a pass for the lead. Johnson retaliated by slamming into the door of Gordon’s No. 24 Chevrolet.
“Four time’s a little upset,” Gordon said sarcastically. “He just wants to be treated different than everybody else.”
Jeff Gordon has finally had enough of Jimmie Johnson. And it doesn’t matter that Johnson is his teammate, or that Gordon owns an interest in the No. 48 car, or that Gordon helped Johnson get a ride at Hendrick Motorsports.
Gordon and Johnson are not friends any longer. They are going out for beer and pizza any time soon. Don’t look for Jimmie Johnson to hitch a ride on Jeff Gordon’s jet for the next race.
Jeff Gordon is really fired up over Jimmie Johnson winning all the races and championships. Gordon wants his share.
Jeff, what took you so long? Do you think Jimmie Johnson will get the message?
