J Gordon Mistake
J Gordon Mistake
A seasoned driver like Gordon should have been better on the restart
than he was. I find it hard to believe he slipped up like he did. Too
bad, it would have made for a great finish.

Wasn't Busch slow on the restart? Gordon's biggest mistake was
abandoning the low line on the track, which allowed Ky to get by him.
He had no excuse for it.

You meant let Edwards get by him, of course.
And what's worse about Gordon's faux pas is that he did the exact same thing
to Sterling Marlin in the '02 D500 with the exact same result.

No, I meant when Kyle initially passed him, not later. JG had led a
bunch of laps with Kyle right on his bumper, and then for some reason,
he moved to the high line. That was the losing mistake.

B'leeve lettin' {Carl, not KyB} get by wuz only Jeff's second biggest
mistake. That only cost him one spot.
His biggest mistake was thinkin' he was timely when he tried to drop down
and block Carl...that wiped him down onto the apron and away went a *bunch*

That'll happen when someone still has the hunger for winning.
They will do anything when they can taste the win.

abandoning the low line on the track, which allowed Ky to get by him.
He had no excuse for it.
I don't think it was a mistake. Just a roll of the dice.
I think it was the best choice he could make at that moment.
He saw Kenseth approaching fast on the outside and wanted to be the head of that pack.
It has worked well for him before.
This is almost exactly the same move he made on JJ to win at Talladega last year.
Unfortunately, Kenseth's pack ran out of steam when JG pulled in front of him and Kyle's pack
maintained momentum to move on by.

I missed that Kenseth nuance, 81, so thanks. Whatever the actions, JG
made a losing move, and couldn't explain it himself during the post-
race interview.
