Robby Gordon Fights, Arguments and Temper

[Music] upon it Raj Bobby Gordon the heads the wall the yellow comes out little fire on the turbocharger that's oil and it's not a real concern to the driver as Robby Gordon climbs out boy he had a spectacular day to that point Robby Gordon was in third place in fact was assuming second as fit appalled he pulled into the pits and that's the opposite end of the track that he had to crash at earlier so he has really tested the walls here at Phoenix today if certain one has been the rough place thought he's mad it really feels bad for what's happened probably was his salt he probably was out there's Boyd talking to somebody down there trying to figure out what happened I wanna be careful we don't know that what caused this accident we merely saw the car come off the wall yeah I'll be acting like that it would seem to be logical that maybe something put him up there that wasn't of his own making well it could have been another car even but you know guys always mad when he wrecks the kid has been the shining star today he's really thin the class act let's go to pit side see what AJ Boyd thinks about that AJ it's really been an up-and-down weekend the crew works so hard to get Robby out there then he makes this tremendous run and now the frustration well it's just one in pain when you would go through some of this this year you know we got here we tested a couple weeks ago we ran pretty decent not like we wanted to and we come here made some adjustments and first practice session we lost the blower with five laps and the practice and we had the other car had a fuel pickup problem then we turned around this morning shook down this car we change the motor in it was running very very well and then we had accident this morning and then we changed everything and got out here about one minute for they said gentlemen start your engine he did one hell of a job and I just told him before that happened on the radio take it easy baby we're doing good take it easy well he's out of the race now I tell you this got to be tougher than being a race driver huh well I would say so you know it hurts but I know it hurts him too but we'll be back in Long Beach will be tough there see in a couple weeks thanks thank you Oh went ready by Robbie can I tell any bands a little bit now you got it and what is he going to say about this Derrick Walker talking to his driver settle back up again that's okay you got it just settled on your fine there it is not only that he's running out in the debris out there in other words you can take that chance you can go out there you can really make a move but at the same time you're risking a lot and you'll get a lot of that crap that sort of collects along the track and debris and it can cut a tire so Jack arute now Robbie's been ball they've taken the who desire off it was just ripped to shreds on the last lap last time Robby Gordon you can hear the car missing every floor where you've got the gas pedals on the floorboard and the punting keeping him from over revving that's frustration and there's the tire across Robby Gordon what may have been another win let's take a look at the restart again this is from Michael Andretti Wow hey Gordon wanted to be a part of that celebration but not tell us now about this incident there at the end of the race with Michael Andretti in the contact well you know we were we're running I tried to put a move on Michael and y'all going down in turn one and uh penny gave me a flat tire so then at the end we're just shaking our fists each other and these these carts our guys have extremely just fairly touch tire we're going to ask unitive action do you think from IndyCar officials I don't think so I mean I think it was good clean racing but you know two flats for Michael Andretti in one race just doesn't count there you have it from Robby Gordon and there you see it so Michael Andretti and Rafi corking together and the everyone airing from Robbie myself okay good Don Michael coming okay let's come back in again we're going to come back in again we want to make sure this is topped up with gas up when we came in the bed we're going to put a fire out and with a bunch of light starts because we get out of the fight coming down into the same area in turn three Magnusson looking to the inside Robby certain windows and they just make wheel the wheel contact Robbie got it around there in such a way let's look and make sure some debris at the front of Robbie's car but they may be able to get one if not both of those restarted our safety team will come out and try to pull them back remember Robby Gordon involved an incident when he is out now with you yeah Megan said come and make an aggressive move to see him coming I looked back coming officers look like in about six car lengths behind me thought there is no way and I'm sorry of capacity going down into turn three you know we've been really struggling with this car ever since a look you know it hasn't been right we start twisting everything else you know I think when we get back this weekend we're going to cut it up cut it up you mean like saw me half an hour something kinda will glue it back together maybe be better tonight Robbie system you know you can only say that in the driver call if you're also to be motor so the train for an opener exactly going in the corner right there he just went to touch Raoh and the back end gets off the gas with that Tony Stewart that heat make contact with Robin and through the grass boy those roof laps really did their job then because that car wanted to take off it sure did and Bobby Gordon I don't believe in anything was a long and very scary slide you can see the damage there on the left side is left really car where it was tapped triggering the incident you can see that Robbie Bourdon is having a what appears to be a heated conversation with Tony Stewart knock-knock you're [ __ ] outta here [Music] Wow Robbie you didn't bring your team I mean you would over to talk to Tony but he quit to the rough spot you don't have your guys emotions are high of course because everything is so important it's important to conduct practice well it's important to do well in the twin 125 tomorrow and get yourself a good spot in the Daytona 500 here's the replay once again left-hand side of the screen the front car is Robby Gordon the second cars Tony Stewart and right there they make contact you know Robby Gordon find a block Tony sturms Tony Stewart trying to go someplace that he doesn't the key gel from that angle only those two guys know down to Bill Weber Robby Gordon has returned to his garage and talking it over with his crew there is a lot on the line here certainly for Tony Stewart a potential run at the Winston Cup championship and for Robby Gordon to return for this series what happened out there Robby's is gone I'm going to tell you my point of view I'm sure Tony's will be a little different [Music] one thing go ahead and let the screen for Kevin LePage back out here because it's right next to it that way we can all hear sorry about that gun it are we just you know we were playing too often practice out there and I went around Tony on the outside thought I was clear coming down the back straight up turn me around you know but Pete says I ran him down the grass I know I didn't have even down to the dotted line yet so I'm you know we just what one thing about on the car you side by side they catch back up and I'm just getting little used to it got a lot to learn so obviously you went over there to discuss his view of it well I mean I was like hey you know why why hit me it's only practice the meeting top to break a little bit or whatever and he says now you pushed me in the grass and I know he wasn't in the grass yet but it's okay no big deal you know I guess he got a little heated he pushed me so when I grabbed him so you know how it goes from there there's a lot on the line here isn't there Robbie this means a lot to everyone of these drivers in this garage the Daytona 500 is a very very important race and we're all you know working really hard to get in the show and I'm still tempers are starting to flare a little bit you know getting into the last few minutes of practice before the 125 so unfortunate what happened to our car so I went out with Tony I get this week all races good lots of Tanks you're getting a lot of people coming over to tell you what they saw what the tell us tell us what happened Tony well I mean everybody's out there drafting day there's no point play today there's no money paid today it doesn't deserve a name starting positions a day and you know Robbie got to run off the two on me and I'm down on the inside by myself and you know the way this draft works it's kind of kinda like watching geese fly in the air incentive II and I was ahead and he got the draft and pulled ahead so I sucked up next to him and about the time I sucked up next to him he's clear on the right side and start with and he drives all the way down and he did just turn all the way down but he just the ease is that all the way down to the ground down the backstretch eventually I've got nowhere to go when I stop turning I got to go straight again and he just keeps coming he puts the right front he spins and he comes down here complaining to us but it's like you say there's been everybody her brother come down here and then I'm had a good thing to say about the guy yet so you know Gary Nelson was just down here eats all the whole things that I did nothing wrong so going thing that's done it's cost us our practice session for for something in practice it didn't make any sense and there was no reason for so my guys are working hard trying to get the home depot Pontiac ready to go back out Marty there's a fire inside the car Robby Gordon's he does radio to the crew and said there's a fire there's a fire I had no idea what was happening as you hear Robby on the radio trying to tell him what's going on all they said was I'm on fire and the crew didn't know what was going on he came down pit road they saw the fire inside the car trying to put it out and Robby Gordon is out of the car now sitting on the pit wall see if we can talk to him Robby what happened inside the car that's the pit with cotton-ball left legs caught on fire any indication is any problems before that at all and he said a big disappointment those are and that's another statement this team had high hopes they really thought they had this race one but obviously sitting in the pits don't know what happened but the car caught on fire inside of the Lowe's Chevrolet man that time cause Robbie was one of the fastest cars on the racetrack he was in a good position win this race let's keep an eye on this Oh rod on deck got into the back of Jeff Gordon caution is out Mike Wallace gets spun around and Jeff Gordon has damage to the right front fender he's got damage to the car lost about three or four spots sixth caution of the race Jeff is going to be very happy about that let's see nope though here we go [Music] that was coming and now the 24 is going to be Black Flag well you can't blame Jeb for being mad about that well this is not the way he wanted to end his championship season how he's going to be in the penalty box gradient or guys that's did punch the radiator out of it when he went up there and hit that what he just said well he's not a bad black player or everybody gets half I'll take them out right now after this girl rode on helmet right these little hot yeah he's a little hot listen elders always look like that on the lead lap yeah for our guys well let's go back and take your career no I water 50 let's go back and take a look at this little sequence here I mean it's big picture says stay all right there but you can see I'm not too sure I'm not too sure that Jeff Gordon didn't get back to the 12 car who'd have thought that his first win would come on an oval track instead of a road course Jeff Gordon dominating but it's Robby Gordon who's to the score the victory fit first time winner in Winston Cup competition this year I'm sure it's hard to put on the smile face right now but once the contact in the 31 what's fun you out oh absolutely there's no doubt in my mind but see everybody thought you couldn't make me mad you can make me mad I can't hurt everybody you know anybody really but that 31 certainly did today he should be embarrassed right now to win that race it was going to be a heck of a battle me it was between me and him anyway you know and I just wish it would have been done fair and square instead just not going to got away we had some lap traffic to go through and you got to be patient I don't care if there's 15 laps to go you gotta you gotta know how to be patient you know it just didn't happen that way but I'm just so proud of these guys this year it's been it's been a blessing to be involved with this great race team and you know what an effort that was today I think we showed them you know that though we weren't just going to come up here to New Hampshire and walk away we wanted to come up here show them what were made of and that was that's just an awesome effort just a shame any regrets on the retaliation I was mad you know I mean at the time hey I understand why guys do that kind of stuff I just wish I would take it as your tire down or something at least though he wouldn't won the race I mean I just didn't do a very good job of it but you know it's not what you want to do it's not sportsman not like I know but hey man I didn't think it sportsman like what he did to me and they didn't penalize him alright Jeff Gordon obviously with a smile on his face is still a little disgusted with his 15th place finish tell me about the run-in with Jeff Boyle well I think Jeff obviously slowed down because the twelves got sideways and I got into him you know I wouldn't I wouldn't recommend unless it was the last lot and you know I thought we were going to have a good enough car he got sideways you know when I got to him and a little disappointed that I'd rather race from clean he feels that maybe you weren't patient enough down the stretch there Robbie that you guys would have had a good battle for Wyn we would have had a good battle and it would have been great for the fans you know it's just amazing how many of these fans came out here to watch this race on Easter we are on Thanksgiving weekend it's just it's unbelievable really I want to thank Richard Childress all the guys for believing in me giving me the opportunity it's been a long time since I want to race and to to do it at a somewhat of a short track and a Winston Cup car I'm really happy I know you're thrilled you've worked so hard to get here but there are tough questions Jeff Gordon said perhaps you should be embarrassed that you won this race in this fashion I remember Jeff Gordon reckons someone the winter race before so I'm not embarrassed I'm very proud to be driving a Lowe's car and I can't wait to be driving the finger car next year meanwhile robby gordon took exception to a similar shot summer night junior how about the incident afterwards this is how it started when a Dale Earnhardt jr. bumped Robby Gordon and then after the race Robby Gordon retaliated well again this is Bristol Earnhardt jr. felt like he was done wrong he didn't have an opportunity to come back this is what happens but I disagree with what these guys are doing this race is over with you got a problem one another get out and settle it man-to-man this rers is being disrespectful all right you've got a little problem down here little altercation with Dale Earnhardt jr. and a couple of other folks yeah what's cooking 31 1 Galloway flat down rates in the leaders with 8 10 laps to go but that's why I headed there why take 3/4 time for him to compile and get into income theory because they don't pay attention don't know he's doing well second flight two days down here on the road yeah the second in two years here after the checkered flag at Bristol wampum I don't know why he would be running into me after the race I mean he's the one that knocked me sideways early and he tried to run me into pit wall so I hit him back you know we had a good call they sing the car was a good car Jeff Gordon snookered me at the start you know that was I was unfortunate master he started to go and then he stopped and let me get them to get a stop and go so you know it's just the way it goes you know Bristol's bridge was always exciting I got to be honest had a lot of fun today the car worked really good we had a car that was easily good as a top ten car I just got to be up there to run there and it's just really hard to get through traffic Robbie just maybe a dumb question is this a frustrating place to race it is because so many times you can be as a victim or circumstance like I was run along just fine and Dale jr. decided to you know move me out the group I lost 20 positions right there at that point so you know I I didn't quite understand why he did that that early in the race and then after the race why he ran into me again on the side so I don't know I did to make him mad but hey nobody runs into me right behind him this opens that door I mean you know he's a little wide going into one and that gives Robbie room to get down under him and you know it's kind of a give and take thing [Music] no to attack also I have darrel things are still closed down there if Rob Morgan checks up Kenny Schrader will get into him and so on and so on and so yeah one thing I did not hear out of that spotters radio is clear I did not hear the word clear did a good job of keeping the thing out of the fancy spins it around but here come the leaders and the reason he didn't hear clear he was not clear I've laps to go getting a little impatient with him yes Jordan I think he wants to get Tony out of the way and he did push turned it around feed it along any fade off the world thank you yeah I'm sure the 20-car played a role in all that Robbie Gordon trying to stay off the 20 car wild night what happened with you and Robbie Gordon I was good stuff we're running hard we had a great engine and I'd have to thank the Roush engine Shaun for that Kenseth and I finished third and fourth good to race mad at the end and set up all of that we were racing hard 20 was holding us up a little bit with the 31 and us and the 32 behind us 20 slips getting into one 31 gets underneath them now and out of the races through one and two which creates a draft for the third car and the 31 was a little bit loose and when I got there I had a head of steam and I hated to use them as a caution but he dumped us at Richmond I didn't feel like that was the right thing at Richmond but I didn't feel like that was the right thing to do tonight but we needed a caution to catch that 12 that was the only way is going to be a show at the end the first car packed the family car is the leader in the crook of boxsmart John Anderson the crash just got much damage look at this hobbies get everybody well there's Jimmy and he's not waiting to get in the ambulance I don't think I've been waiting to wave to his favorite driver right Nestle this is that's correct you know what safety worker I would do that it was robbed oh it's crystal now Robby Gordon has been on pit road serving his penalty a moment ago we intercepted this radio traffic from his car to receive Romney they're going to come in and og lamp right mr. Shue we're going to hold people do it I drove all day long secure chef and I'm a trouble therefore official fireman just like a lot of jumpers last race just like don't Jimmy Robbie is saying is right now that you missed the shift what happened just like every form of racing he's ever been and there's always always somebody else's fault he had the third side was before we even took the green I didn't have a chance to grab the gear he's beating my bumper cover off me coming to the green because he wanted to restart running me I'm trying to get my lap back as well so they just grind up forever like he always does we got a chance to win the championship when we get it point out the boys and take the Greens restarted Bobby back on track they have some more affairs debate here's one thing when you're 68 laps down start racing with guys guys aren't going to put up with that if a guy's starting to race beam when on when somebody 58 laps down you're just not going to have any patience with them at all Nemechek goes back on the lead lap coming to the caution and sterling Marlins teammate Kasey Mears getting one of two laps he's down back coming to the yellow and Robbie's going back behind the wall still there [Applause] tell you what ted cautions and we're just halfway in the race we might be rockin and rollin here all night an update on Robby Gordon what happened this time Robby I guess the 41 one the positions that backspace a little more than iv8 up so we decide to survive and I got up on the high side of 25 I don't know I think he got into my left recorder maybe I came down on it but I'm pretty sure he got in my left rear corner they have to almost laugh when you have a night like we've had tonight up you know the starting with the accent delayed when the poor was coming in we're leaving at a really good race car tonight very disappointed for all the guys on the singular wireless team because we have a shot at winning until now you thought right there with after a broken gear I can still burn so disappointed but edge right here I've seen Bobby Gore go on the inside to make you three wives break bevel on that 29 car in contact with couple and turn him around oh I see this is the payback for exactly what it is like I said unfortunately you get guys that have nothing to do with that runner for the championship cost them yeah remember earlier we saw the 31 car he had spin being spun by the safety and that's the payback recursive call on this one this just what needs to be done and I commend ask our forests on they looked at the Tate's and said we're going to penalize Robbie Gordon - laughs for rough driving down the backstretch [Music] like Michael turn the second car to the outside wall Robbie's going to try and drive this back [Music] probably got into the middle of the track that's convenient now the helmets off maybe looking for somebody back bill I believe the car he's looking for is the Napa Chevrolet now he said on the radio a number of comments is Michael just won by about the 15 then he said NASCAR I hope you're listening I will pay Michael Waltrip back I think he's going to try to pay in that helmet I don't know probably really love this helmet yeah after quite expensive in a while they aren't met you're right that's why yeah second thought okay here we go with the helmet off record just got there down let's see the accuracy and it Sun shot [Music] I guess you don't like the helmet that that my car I told you that was going on last intrude it was this hall Robbie used those same words in this race one year ago and you know I think that there's a difference of opinion there Michael said it was Robbie's fault and I'm sure that Robbie doesn't see it that way that's right here's today's helmets halting event wow that was pretty catchy is like a bullfighter [Music] tell me about to run over the helmet trailer is going to be busy and in the race today Robbie obviously very frustrated with Michael Walter you know Michael everybody thinks Michaels this good guy he's not the good guy like he actually has a caution without and he wrecked me and the people and we apologize for that language he may have to spend the night in a scarf Ellen and we have heard Robbie side of the story been he's going to try and reach Michael again on his radio hey Michael BB you got me sir baby how's everything up in the OT empty boots or whatever it is you're right Michael it is tee and Tina's doing well up here but it's craziness on the racetrack your version won't happen off turn two well Robby just drove down in the corner like I wasn't even there jumped me all the way up to the edge of the groove and I kept giving and giving it as we exited purge sort of me just driving the Domino's keep the knife autoparts pestilence or Chevy into the wall I had to finally stand my ground Benny and when I did is hook timid rectum but uh he drives like you did the desert or something put you down in the desert there on the infield and when they we threw the helmet at you we noticed on the onboard camera you ducked why no fool I didn't know where I never had that happened to me before so I decided I would just pass the gas and duck and hope for the best but uh you know I respect these cats our race against you just not good like I wasn't even there and I just stood my ground any alright I just want you knowing it and his interview he said that Europe it was your fault well it's happened I thought I agreed to come out here right with it ah gee thanks buddy debris on the backstretch debris on the backstretch bringing out this caution with 34 to go so top 10 finished for you great night for you we were looking at some debris possibility coming out of your car roll bar padding anything like that going on not that I'm aware of you know we had a good run tonight we broke a dent in the race and had a shot it probably a better finish than 10th so I'm pretty happy with with the run we had tonight and we're looking for okay Rob we're showing it down here just so you can get a look at it you guys run it back one more time because we didn't have it right in here there you go I mess it up it's all her here Robbie there's your car that would think back it up one more time guys we just get Robin a good look at this keep going keep going back back back back back we just want you to take a look because we're trying to figure out maybe something you ran over as well might've been something I run over because I'm definitely in throw anything out the window so I don't know if we appreciate it top ten run for you tonight though let's roll it out to check that look like came off one of the back of the car actually how did you got you guys have been lucky dogs a couple times tonight I mean it was you were I mean it was a great a great comeback for you guys yeah we we had a really good night we lost we had one bad pit stop we lost a lap with that and that hurt us and you know we had a good car we had a top ten car all night long just started laughs it was hard to get all the way back to the front great we street appreciate take the tiber up Thanks built up front Robby Gordon by hambo's who goes back on in caution flags waving Oh wonder what the loops are with this thing boy we didn't see the pass but it looks like the back of Ambrose's car the right rear corner is all tore up obviously you might have repaid the favor and Robby Gordon still sitting sideways on the track trying to get turned back around the other way so Robbie Gordon riding around next to Marcus Ambrose probably we have another look out of here we didn't see what happened flag waving yeah when they came around that corner so and this is just speculation on my part but I'm speculating that Robby Gordon is saying hey the caution flag was out so I'm the race leader even though I got hit and spun and it looks like they put it well on my finger they got there they've been messing with it up they're switched again Gordon in front member Lau that's just that's just where they're where they're crossing the scoring loops on the racetrack Brandi flipping me if the automatic score that you're looking at over there the question has to come from race control who is leading the race when did the caution come out we're coming to the green flag we're being to Robby Gordon still in line in second place on the racetrack we're being told that he is going to be back around 12th place after they reviewed the scoring [Music] there it is wouldn't see that coming if I just have to drive off the island life is just a little mad at them all right so the lien is changing hands here now Kevin farming has just gone out in front a confusing situation with this race Robby Horton may now be first in line on the race track but the lead belongs to Kevin Harvick back in Montreal Kevin Harvick is the winner today here at Circuit Jill Villeneuve though still some ongoing action on the race track with Robby Gordon who has not been declared the winner by NASCAR that he was black flagged by NASCAR this I'm here with Robby Gordon got out of his race car hopped on the roof to lose the fans very rough racing there Dee and Robbie what happened well I'm he wanted a life in you I won the race so I completed all the laps and if you seen this happen before guys get spun when they slow down that's exactly what happened Marcus he's fun when I slow down and they tell me I'm going to go back to 17th not the way it is it's happened many times they set presidents before and will appeal it we won this race you chose not to go to do the black flag and stay out on the race track NASCAR tradition after I was fun like it's happened many times before okay Thank You Robby we do have Marcus Ambrose we only have a minute here Marcos share your emotions your thoughts what happened you knew that there was going to be an attack from Robby Gordon v yeah yeah yeah I'm devastated you know I promised myself on account of Nascars I've been giving such a chance but maybe if I have the worst day I'm not gonna be mad and I'm not mad I'm just disappointed you know I feel bad Kings record with McClellan's you know her sister this close you know an amazing attitude for a guy who's had the heartbreak of the day here in the 33 car oh man [Music] see Robby Gordon she's got into the 33 car you know he says he did it on purpose I really don't believe that guys that was a racing accident coming off the turn four and those corners I mean it's tight corner filling in to the start/finish line when you come off the turn four get that loose look at that yet they got in the saucer absolutely only is not at the end of the car standing there on the edge of the racetrack the car you see it's simmering and smoky he's going to a level discussion here watching for the 27 car probably Gordon to come by but I'll throw that helmet that thing cost about 2,500 plus don't do that oh hey you don't do that you don't do a lot of money in the helmet frustrations I know but we'll kick the house side of your house or something just don't show your helmet like that my break is one he has no business messing with us anyway we were driving away from $25,000 casinos he's done that during life before he does now you learn from those big mistakes don't throw your house that makes NASCAR mad and it makes your helmet head Botox is $28 per thousand helmet or a man I forgot about that doing the math why throw the helmet there what happened I think it's pretty obvious you know I think road loans responds iterate response my car is unfortunately they can't keep idiots like Robby Gordon from driving race cars and I think films owns truth you know what happened right away before your soul I don't know why Robin he doesn't even know what it's Robin at the top of your screen here if the 12th card getting into the seventh as he exited turn one Robbie was having a pretty aggressive attack here good good running up high there and in progress so he gets a tap after he spun from David Stremme he would that was just because trim he had nowhere to go up high twelve is gender occupation our shared Africa mark here when everybody she had wrecked ten times your ex Carolina very recommend version they kind of developed on back in the corner and see Robbie Gordon is trying to send a message to David Stremme II I don't think David was accepting it too well here extremely pulls over to the inside they continue to race then the tunnel turn everything is okay right here but as we exit like Robby Gordon turned down on him they're too extreme Laughlin knows his car right now we're being told that there will be a five lap penalty for the seven car and the 12 car you've heard of the penalty box you're about to see it invoked here basically instigated some contact there is a lien and on it well this could be fun [Music] there's the end result we don't have exactly how it started well where we showed those guys arguing about that space up there was in the chicane inner loop part of the the racetrack at the bus stop there and this was coming out of there so we can only speculate but got to think that something along those lines took place um apparently we gotten a little grudge match after he cut down my tire and he decided to recommend the caution which is uh it's not real cool I think you know putting someone in danger to render caution and get so I can see the lucky dog after all that so it's a pretty raw deal to raise someone pretty stupid you can't fix stupid it's forever so you know you remember that you put in your memory bank but I tell you what it's a pretty wrong way to raise somebody [Music] Oh [Music]
