Did anyone else feel like Jeff Gordon had a good shot of winning at Charlotte until that last unneeded pit?

May be...

Anyone running out front had the advantage. It was a bone head move once again by Letarte. Gordon did not recover even ONE position after that. Letarte is a moron. I'm not sure he even has opposable thumbs.... what an idiot..
If Gordon doesn't dump him, then he's a moron also.

Yup. He actually didn't need both of those last two 4-tire stops. Completely bizarre on Letarate's part. I have no emotion now on this subject... I have given up... I hoped so much... and all of it is down the drain..

I am very very disappointed and frustrated... :(

I think both Jeff's & Jr.'s crew chiefs have made a lot of bad calls of late and those calls are costing both drivers points & races. Makes you wonder what is going on?

Absolutely. He didn't need 4 tires. Oh well, another bad move.

That pit stop ended any chance he had at the win and shows how much LeFart has screwed everything up since he's been there. It's about time to make a crew chief change in the 24's garage.

Yeah, I think it would have been better to go with track position...fuel or two tires only. I'm not sure why they called for a four tire stop. Too bad really.

I don't think he was capable of winning with that car, but I was impressed that he got an 8'th place finish.garden weeder
