Arthritic back? That doesn't go away.<br />(2) The fact that he continues to drive as if he's under the old points system. Even the guys in the booth discussed it a week ago at the Bud Shootout, how Gordon seemingly is more concerned with where he winds up at the end of the race than he does about winning. It's why Jimmie Johnson is so ridiculously successful in the Chase: He goes all out to win as many races as he can in the Chase, while Gordon is content to hang back and not screw up. Which is fine if you're racing for a Winston Cup. Not now. Not anymore. Mark Martin made the adjustment. Why can't Gordon?Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05150307290591372009noreply@blogger.com
