Why does everyone hate Jeff Gordon?

May be...

  • i personally love jeff gordon everyone says hes gay yall dont have any proof!how would yall feel if someone turned everyone against you and started calling you gay GET OVER YOURSELVES just because hes awesome dont hate.treat ppl the way u wanna be treated and btw hes my favorite nascar driver but i dont understand how so many ppl could hate him
  • I'll admit I didn't care for him at first, but the more I followed NASCAR the more I realized he doesn't really bother me. He's not my favorite, but I don't dislike him either.
    He's good at what he does, seems to have a good attitude, and he is on the same team as two of my favorite drivers.

    At the races I hear cheering mixed with booing during his introduction. But each year the boos seem to be decreasing.
  • don't know but i think he's cool. i think all drivers are cool though! rock on jeff!
  • I just chose to hate him in 01. Ward was the guy I wanted to win, Gordon was the guy I said, "BOOOO!"
  • I don't hate him!
  • I used to dislike him, and I'd still rather not see him win unless he's battling Stewart or Johnson, but I don't dislike him nearly as much as I used to. I never wanted him to get hurt, I never want any driver to get hurt, no matter how much they irk me. I hope Jeff recovers from his back issues.


    P.S. Try being a Jeremy Mayfield fan now!! Ugh, talk about tough! But I will defend my driver's innocence till the end.
  • I don't hate him he's my favorite driver !

  • I like Jeff, probably because he wins a lot and the way he came into the sport as a young man. When people looked at NASCAR in the old days they know the old way a driver came up and that was to earn his way by driving for different people and the results would earn them a big time ride. Jeff was given a chance at such a young age in top level machinery. Jeff served as an inspiration for young children to pursue racing dreams. Many don't really appreciate those young guys coming in with a lot of talent but they didn't have the seattime. With Jeff it's mostly because of the way he came into NASCAR.
  • because "everyone" has hurt feelings
  • oh please. people hate him cause he has 4 champions and alot of wins. He doesnt whine like kyle
  • Hi, I'm a jeff gordon fan. He's one of the best drivers of all time!!
  • hes whines like a girl

    acts like a girl

    his old car looked like a lollipop

    HE AINT NO 3 or 88!!!!
  • Something about him just rubs me the wrong way. I can't explain it. I just listen to him and I wanna pull against him. I have nothing personal against him. I just hope he finishes 43rd every Sunday.
  • Most people who hate him hate him because when he first arrived in NASCAR he won too much.
    He was good, he knew he was good and he wasn't afraid to speak his mind when warranted.

    Some people can't let go..
    I used to be one of the above mentioned Jeff Gordon haters.
    Not sure why, other than that I was a Dale Sr. fan and it seemed disliking Jeff Gordon was just part of the Dale Sr. fan package.
    I've grown up alot since then and for the life of me I wish I would've been a Jeff Gordon fan sooner. I'm in my "zone" when the whole world hates my driver :)
  • he became hated because of dale sr. so now that dale sr calls him gay every dale sr and jr fan don't like him. i don't like gordon but he is a good driver. plus its the way fans are too because you have one driver and you are all about that guy and nobody else
  • HES THE BEST DRIVER EVER.HE IS MARRIED AND HAS A DAUGTER.HE ALSO IS THE ALL TIME MONEY LEADER IN NASCAR.PEOPLE'S JEALOUSY DOESN'T AFFECT HIM.THE EARNHARDTS CANT HOLD A TORCH TO HIM,HE HAS ALREADY DONE MORE THAN THEM COMBINED IN A MUCH SHORTER TIME.HAVE YOU EVER SEEN DALE JR. WITH A GIRL?........DIDN'T THINK SO
  • cuz he's a stuck up idiot and he whines almost as bad as Sidney Crosby
  • Jealousy. Plain and simple.

    He dominated the sport for a number of years.

    Kinda like my dad used to say "If the others make fun of you, it's because they secretly want to be just like you, but can't".

    Well now you did it, the "Is xxxx gay" questions are gonna start again
  • because he's a better driver than Earnhardt.
  • He's my fav
  • I don't hate Jeff Gordon but I have a problem with the fact that he doesn't say that Vallejo, California is his hometown except at Infineon. And what's with the "he's gay" thing? Don't say that because it's not true.
  • I am a hardcore Jeff Gordon fan and have been since he started racing in NASCAR, but I have a perspective on why people don't like him. My guess is that people hate him for the same reason people hate Kyle Busch. He started winning when he was young, and I do remember him whining a lot when he started racing like Kyle Busch does now. Plus Gordon started racing in the Dale Earnhardt era, so since everyone loved Earnhardt, people hated seeing Jeff take some of his wins.

    This is my best guess on the subject, hopefully it helps.
  • When Gordon first came into NASCAR, most people hated him because he wasn't a good ole southern boy, he was from California and he was kicking everybody's butt. A lot of Dale Jr fans hated Gordon but now that they're on the same team you don't see a lot of that anymore. I don't think a whole lot of people hate Gordon now. Now, the cool drivers to hate on are Kyle Busch and Dale Jr.
  • He's too much of a whiner. I was an avid Eranhardt hater, then when Old Ironhead had his long dry spell I started hating Gordon for his wins. I was actually glad to see Earnhardt win a race or two after that. Anybody but Gordon!

  • I think a lot of people were jealous because he started winning so early in his career. I don't think it helped with a lot of people that he did not come from the "right" place- the South. And a lot of them don't seem to like that he doesn't have the personality that he causes trouble with people. Some people are bothered by a genuinely nice man who has a happy family, does a lot of children's charity work and talks openly about his Christianity. If those are bad things, I guess I like bad people. Last but not least, I have always liked Jeff Gordon as that is my dad's favourite. BTW- he was one of Kasey's influences coming up, too.
  • My dear, try being a Kyle Busch or Dale Earnhardt Jr fan! :-)

    I used to seriously dislike Jeff only because my husband and his best friend were (are) huge Jeff Gordon fans. Back then Dale Sr was alive and racing and I was (am) a huge Dale Earnhardt fan. Jeff was doing great and winning championships and I had to put up with their crap every dang weekend! :-) I learned to hate Jeff Gordon. I always thought he was Mr Perfect; a new aged, politically correct, sponsor God who always smiled and never had an ounce of personality. But.......

    Then I was at Bristol the spring race when Matt Kenseth wrecked him. And Jeff went after Matt after the race. You should have heard the crowd go crazy! The same 160,000 people who had booed him at driver introductions just loved it! He showed some passion for once, and little bit of temper. I loved it too! Jeff Gordon was finally human. And I actually like him now.

    Don't worry about the gay remarks. Trolls and haters will play the gay card whenever they can't find another excuse to bash a driver and get you all riled up.linux on palm iiic
  • I bought tickets to the Italian GP - Can i get a refund?

    May be...

  • I don't think so. At least you didn't get Valencia GP tickets.
  • I only bought tickets because Michael Schumacher was coming back, now hes not coming back, Can i get a refund?
  • Not a chance. You bought tickets to an F1 race, not the Shumacher race.

    You can try selling them online.
  • after-effects...
  • Michael Schumacher is not the be all and end all of F1! I'm sure you can still manage to enjoy yourself and have a good weekend but if you really want, I'm willing to take the tickets off your hands! ;-)
  • Are you an F1 fan, or just a Schumi groupie?

    Just go and enjoy the race!
  • You'll have to write a nice letter to Mr Bernard Ecclestone explaining why you want him to give you your money back, because a certain Herr M. Schumacher is not ready to come back and fill in for the injured Felipe Massa yet.


    Did people in Hungary ask for their money back when Massa got injured on the Saturday and couldn't race!?! no...
  • I live in the states and can't afford to drop $2000+ to go see a race overseas and your complaining because Michael Shumacher is not racing. You are ridiculous they shouldn't let people like you buy tickets! You should be grateful you have the opportunity to see a race!!!!lisa beckles

  • My favorite quote that I heard so far this year:
    At the Pocono race listening to Dale talk to Lance about the season, during one of the yellow flags, Dale was explaining that he appreciated the hard work of the team and that sometimes he just gets really pissed off about the car.
    Lance: Well, pissed don't make the car go faster.
    Dale: Sometimes I think it does

    I found it pretty entertaining.sony outlet stores

    May be...

  • I bet Carl Edwards gets the pole, but loeses the lead after the first restart on lap 7 (debris caution). We get a long run after the lap 7 restart that encompasses two green flag pit stops by all drivers. The race stays green until a two car crash triggered by Greg Biffle on lap 342 spins Ryan Newman into the inside wall. This leaves just 3 cars on the lead lap, Kasey Kahne, Carl Edwards, and Kurt Busch. Jamie McMurry gets the free pass. Carnage ensues on the next restart as the back 3/4's of the feild piles into turn 3. A three wide situation between Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, and Martin Truex jr (all 1 lap down running 7-9) doesn't work, and they leave a cloud of smoke for everyone to attempt to negotiate. The worst damage is to David Stremme, Matt Kenseth, Brian Vickers, Joey Logano, John Andretti, and Jimmie Johnson.Kyle Busch gets the free pass, and due to the crash, only 3 cars remain a lap down, Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, and Clint Bowyer. After a 28 minute red flag the race gets back underway at lap 351 and Kasey Kahne gets a solid start, Kyle Busch is on his bumper by another multi car crash on lap 365. This time Sterling Marlin was tapped from behind off turn four by Kevin Harvick. The wreck collected Robby Gordon, Sam Hornish Jr, and Casey Mears. Harvick and Scott Speed both get flat tires and slight damage. Denny Hamlin gets the free pass. By the restart on lap 378 all the leaders have pitted to avoid debris causing tire problams. Kasey Kahne choses the outside lane for the first time, and is able to hold off Kyle Busch. But by lap 415 Kyle is back on his inside, and makes it work by lap 417. He begins to check out. Denny Hamlin is up to 4th after passing McMurry and Kurt Busch, he is now in lapped traffic and can't see Carl Edwards who is in 3rd. Tony Stewart is now in lucky dog position in 7th, but Kyle is closing in on McMurry and Kurt who are raceing side by side. by lap 432 Kyle is boxed in behind McMurry and Kurt Busch batteling. Kasey Kahne closes back in on the 18. Busch bumps the 26 into the 2 as they exit turn 2. Kyle is able to stay ahead of Kasey Kahne, but Kahne is now only 4 car lengths back. Kurt Busch pits for a flat tire after contact with Jamie McMurry, who is now in lucky dog position in 5th. Hamlin gets around the 99 on lap 451 and Kyle has opened a lead of almost a full staightaway on Kasey Kahne. Hamlin is a half a lap behind. Now with no traffic Hamlin begins making consistent laps, Kyle is trying to put the #14 a second lap down, and is having a hard time. on lap 454 Kyle pits for four tires and Denny pits on the backstretch of the same lap. Kahne pits next time by, but has contact with Marcos Ambrose in the pits, then has to stop as David Ragan pulls out right in front of him. After the cycle of stops, Kurt Busch is back on the lead lap, and has enough fuel to make it to the end, but Kyle is gaining on him again to put him back a lap down. Denny now sits just infront of Kahne on the track, being held up by Juan Montoya and Mark Martin, who are two laps down battleing for 10th. Once clear of Martin and Montoya, Hamlin pulls away from Kahne, and is now one straightaway behind teammate Busch with 35 laps to go. Clint Bowyer (running 8th) gets a flat tire, and limps around the top of the track until he can get down and bail to pit road. This ends his chase chances after his Michigan 28th place finish. No caution. With 20 laps to go, Stewart goes 2 laps down and Kurt Busch goes a lap down once again. But they both give Kyle more troble than Denny. With 9 laps to go, Denny catches Kyle just as they run up on Kasey Kahne who has gone tight after the pit road contact with the 47. Kahne pulls out of the way. As the two leaders run up on other cars, the lapped cars move out of the way. With 5 laps to go, Hamlin gets to the bottom of Busch. By 3 laps to go Hamlin is getting to his door in the corners. with two to go, Hamlin cuts busch off leaving turn 4, Busch pushes Hamlin into turn 1 to show his displeasure. On the final lap, Hamlin gaps him by a car length to win.

    1 - Denny Hamlin
    2 - Kyle Busch
    3 - Carl Edwards
    4 - Kurt Busch (-1)
    5 - Kasey Kahne (-1)
    6 - Jamie McMurry (-1)
    7 - Tony Stewart (-2)
    8 - Jeff Burton (-2)
    9 - Mark Martin (-3)
    10 - Juan Montoya (-3)

    After the crash, Kenseth falls out of the chase by 7 points as Kyle Busch slippes in. Denny Hamlin gets 4th in the points away from Kurt Busch. Newman now sits 12th, just 7 points ahead of Kenseth. the top 13 in points now have a 231 point gap over 14th place David Ruetimann, meaning it will be a battle between the top 13 for 12 spots. Clint Bowyers flat drops him to 21st place, 4 laps down after running 8th most of the night.

    Scott Speed's solid 17th place finish combined with John Andretti's 40th place finish puts Speed only 68 points out of the top 35.

    So I guess 4 cautions, 4 leaders, 6 lead changes. Hope you enjoyed that!
  • who qualifies on the pole?
