Boos And Yeas

Crusader 11 April 2005 22:30:08
 Did my ears deceive me, or were there more cheers than non-cheers
for Jeff Gordon?
I know the American sound of non-cheers is BOO.
Unlike the European whistling.

But is YEA (sp?) the American sound of cheering?
Or is Yea mixed in with applause, thus less loud than Boo?
There may even be a few Hoorays, but that sounds as
old-fashioned as the American Civil War & before--Huzzah!

Have Southerners ever cheered Jeff Gordon since the end of '95?

 Lots of folks still don't like JG but have mellowed a little as they do like
JJ. They also do not like KB at all and I am sure some of the Yea's were
because he came through the fight for that space and KB didn't. <G> Even I
gave him a thumbs up for that!

 I noticed that there seemed to be at least as any cheers as jeers.
Struck me as odd.

Nope, and no comparison to his "freeze the field" win with all the trash on
the track. It was such an impressive performance that even the haters had to
acknowledge his skill. I also read a couple editorials to that effect today.
Now if only that team wasn't as erratic as a drunk...

Supreme skill would have JG getting his three laps by racing, not as a gift
from NASCAR.

I can not stand NASCAR's 'give a lap back to the first man down' rule, and
JG is one of many I root for. All he did was put himself in a position to
accept a gift, three times.

Hey there, Chief, he only got 1 lucky dog lap back. The other 2 he earned the
old fashioned way - he passed the leader.

and I don't like the LD or 'no racing to the yellow' either.

 Actually, JG drove his way back on 2 of the 3 laps. His crew got him
out of the pits first twice in a row so he could restart next to the
leader. He passed the leader both times to get his lap back.

IMO, they could have easily done that again, but why beat the
equipment up any more than necessary? He was fifth in the inside lane
of the third restart. He then had to pass the 4 lap down cars to be
in position for the LD. It was a long green flag run and he was
passing cars not long after the leader did. The leader had lapped
someone (KP, I think) and the caution came out before JG passed them.
The next time JG kept closer to the leader to get the LD.

So he worked at and got 1 LD for 1 of his laps. He and his team
REALLY worked for the other 2.

Since i follow JG's adventures more than most other drivers,
i recall a time at a Plate Track where he got so close so many times
to getting back on the lead lap, but no one would draft with him.
I remember Mikey as leader not giving him a chance to get in line.
These kinds of reality continually amaze me how JG does so
extaordinarily well when the world is against him.

That's the way i saw it & believe it to be a somewhat historic event.
Anyone want to research 'the last time' (BE won from 3 laps down)?

I still want NA$CAR to make another rule that the 'leaders'
in the lap down line, must be only 1 lap down, not 64 like KH.

BTW, 4th place Ryan Newman & 8th place Jimmie Johnson
received / earned according to NA$CAR rules TWO Lucky Dogs each!

I'd say he and his crew deserve credit for running a great race.
They overcame difficulties that might have sunk other teams.

And it was great that they won again a year after the plane
crash. A very fitting tribute.

That's what I meant. if there is no car 1 lap down, there should be no free
pass, even if there are 20 cars 2 laps down.

If I'm not totally confused, there's nothing unusual in not letting someone
get in line. It's part of the idea of racing :)­

First I don't think "the world is against him." Even if it was, the world
isn't what he has to race against... the other 42 drivers are the ones that
count. If you listen to them being interviewed, they seem to have respect
for JG. It shouldn't amaze you that a driver does well while the crowd
boos... a boo won't slow a car down.

They don't, do they? The first guy a lap down moves up, we agree. Does the
first guy 2 laps down (and 3 laps, and 4 ...) move up 1 too? I don't think so.
What if there is no 1 lap down car? Does the first car 2 laps down move up to 1
lap down?

(I also don't like the whole LD thing.)

Imagine my surprise when I saw my post. I meant to save it until I could
check on how he got his laps back.

Bottom line, it wasn't just JG. It was JG and the work of the entire team.
NASCAR has long said it is a team sport, and it takes all of them working
together to have success.

That is why a four tire stop involves 40 lug nuts, not eight 'whatever you
call them' large nuts. That is why there is a jack man, and not the type of
system as in F1, CART, etc.

A mistake on any one members part, especially late in the race, and JG might
not have been in Victory Lane.

And with that respect (and I agree with you) comes the burden of "if I give the
24 a break and he gets a lap back, he's liable to come all the way around and
pass me again". I think, in that regard, Kenny Wallace would be more likely to
get a racing break than JG, just the reality of the outcome.

Has that situation ever occured? I don't recall it ever happening. Does
anyone know what the rule is if it were no cars one lap down?

The highest scored lapped car, gets one lap back.

First, thanks for the explanation. Second, how did Morgan get 3 laps down? Is
the race only 3 laps old?

No, it's the first placed car not on the lead lap. So if there's 42 cars
on the lead lap and Morgan Shepherd is running 3 laps down, Morgan gets
the pass, making him 2 down and so on.

I always used to laugh at the 20 guys standing around the car in F1, 4 with
tires, 4 with tire heating blankets!!! That's gone this season with the no

They don't. The freebie is only for cars 1 lap down. The previous poster
was wrong in saying that Gordon got the lucky dog three times. He worked
his way up by passing the leader for those first two laps and got the free
pass on the last one.
