Gordon And Biffle Flunk On Reality

Are Jeff Gordon and Greg Biffle kidding? They claim that NASCAR should have thrown the yellow when the last-lap melee erupted and assert that they kept racing to the stripe even though they were involved in the wreck because "all I remember is my spotter kept saying, 'No caution, no caution, still green, still green.' So I just put it back to the floor even though the car was torn up..." according to Gordon, while according to Biffle, "I was coming through the grass in reverse as wide open as I could, trying to get to the finish line."

Now think about this - they keep it wide open even though they are in a wreck that's directly ahead of them because they're expecting their spotter to yell, "Caution, slow down." They come across as either liars or preposterously stupid because they know that a wreck is right in front of them yet they're not trying to avoid it, instead waiting for some spotter to tell them what to do. When NASCAR had the race to the yellow rule the drivers all had more sense than this; they knew to back off to avoid a wreck.
