Is Jeff Gordon gonna get the call?

I haven't followed Nascar for years and years, but if JG is in the Chase and this is his final year, I expect to see him win the championship. If he does, will anyone care that Nascar is fixed? I think they've already jumped that shark.

The crash at Martinsville was designed by NASCAR. I never really liked JG, but if he wins it all, it'll be a great ending to a remarkable career.

Hopefully he will get the call, won't retire, and move to F1. Lord knows they need a good driver over there. I'm sure they'd make him start from the rear just to make it fair.

It sure would be nice to see F1 go back to wheel to wheel racing.

It wouldn't surprise me to see the fix to be in for him today.

No fix for Jeffy, but having someone who missed eleven races win the championship seems a bit odd.

The old infamous "debris on the track" trick worked again, spoiling a good race ending. Crashcar didn't want Kyle Larson to win at all, and he would have under green. The "debris"!!!! a crushed water bottle, off the racing line. Gotta love the script fellows.

On the radio they were calling it as metal but I'm suspect. It was in the yellow section. The guy chucked it in the back of the truck pretty quick and took off.

Gordon was a class act. When he won it was always the crew When he lost it was his fault
And a dang good shoe
