Default ROC and Jeff Gordon

Jeff Gordon was one of the three Americans that went to the "Race Of Champions" in Europe last weekend. I am posting this video cause it shows a NASCAR guy getting to ride along with a pro rally driver. I think he is pretty impressed, listen to him after the crash. Funny sh*t! http://www.raceofchampions.com/videos/team-usa-triumph/

thats why I love to watch the nascar races that are on circuits because its like a bunch of hill billys driving around corners in a big ass camaro or something, just spinning out and rear ending everyone.

Tanner Faust did pretty good at ROC but too bad Leob is way to good of a driver for everyone. If wrc tanks soon I think hes going to be a force to be reckoned with in F1 if he goes with that

Ahh, look, Jeff is growing a beard to look like a man. I wonder what his boyfriend thinks about it?

And who was driving the Rally car in that crash? Was it a NASCAR driver?

Who was the third American driver? I saw Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon.

The Americans finished quite well in the event believe it or not. Not sure who the third U.S. team member was, I bet Google knows. I guess I have poked fun of Gordon to my buddies allot in the past. Probably because he has won so damn much in the past. He has an extensive dirt background I do believe. His ex-wife is smokin hot and his new girlfriend is just as hot btw.
I expect NASCAR bashing due to what forums I am posting in. I personally enjoy any kind of racing I can get my hands on. Saying NASCAR drivers are less than Rally drivers is kind of funny. It's like saying Tiger Woods is a sh*tty athlete compared to Michel Jordon because he doesn't run as much. It's a skill and something they enjoy doing. Not to mention they make crazy money doing it.

There is more to NASCAR than most people realize . All they see is a car turning left for 4 hours.
I'll give Rally drivers their just dues but when is the last time they drove a 4 or 500 mile race? NASCAR does it every weekend plus a couple road courses.

Funny how people think NASCAR is so easy but how many drivers from other disciplines of racing actually make it in NASCAR? Very few.

The American team were Tanner Foust and Carl ******* (who beat Schumacher)

EDIT: Why won't it let me say his name?
