I might have to watch that. I think Jeff Gordon has no chance whatsoever. Is Valentino Rossi driving too?

Not to mention, Jeff Gordon won in 2002 and came in 2nd in 2003. So, e30dood, Jeff Gordon has got one hell of a chance, if he races.

I don't know if he's actually making it this year though, the latest news I heard (but it's been a week or so) is that he's hospitalized with the flu and won't be racing.

I don't know, maybe because of the fact that in Nascar, he is only making 2 left turns all the time. Not a very good opinion probably but thats just what I feel.

HE GREW UP RACING KARTS ON ROAD COURSES. He has much more skill then you ever will. He chose nascar thats his decision. Different strokes, but he could still outdrive most people.

Ok, I never said I could drive better than he can. But I think there are just waaay better drivers competing against him, like Michael Schumacher.

From what i remember they compete in a rally x format. so they are both out of their norm. Put Schu in a nascar, gordons going to beat him. Put gordon in a f1 car, schu is gonna win. Dont be so ignorant and respect drivers for what they do and love.

i think colling mcrea will be one of the fastest in this format as long as he doesn't crash. They should put takeumo sato in here hes not as skilled as the others but he would try so hard that he would give some spectacular crashes and slides

Well it doesn't really matter anyway because they didn't race each other. Call me ignorant and whatever you want, but I can't respect Nascar drivers. They do 2 road races a year, all the other times they're just doing oval tracks. I'm sure though it takes some skill to drive around an oval track and lots of more skill to pass cars, but it definitely doesn't take as much skill as F1. You must Jeff Gordon's biggest fan.

The race has already taken place so I won't give out spoilers. The airing tonight is quite a few days old.
