It Sounded As If Jeff Gordon Called Greg Biffle An Idiot at Daytona

After Jeff Gordon wrecked out of the Pepsi 400 at Daytona, he was obviously frustrated, and it sounded like he called out Greg Biffle.

After Jeff Gordon wrecked out of the Pepsi 400 at Daytona, he was obviously frustrated, and it sounded like he called out Greg Biffle.

"The No. 18 (J.J. Yeley) was backing up in the middle and I got to the outside. And the No. 16 (Greg Biffle) was going around him and just turned down on him. There were so many guys that were complete idiots out there, and I want to bad-mouth every one of them." Quoted the four-time NASCAR champion.

Wow, strong words, I wonder who else out there was a complete idiot?

Greg Biffle and J.J. Yeley's little incident was a product of restrictor plate racing. Nothing really idiotic about it. Even Gordon almighty has had a slight brain freeze at Daytona or Talladega.

His teammate Jimmie Johnson got loose and ran Bobby Labonte's Dodge into the wall. It wasn't necessarily idiotic on Johnson's part, but hey if Jeff's calling out drivers who blipped, he might as well deem his teammate an idiot.

Idiot is a strong word, but if you are going to call another driver an idiot, call out the guys who incessantly bump draft. Carl Edwards could be considered an idiot Friday night when he bump drafted Michael Waltrip in the corner causing a pileup in the Busch Series event. Edwards did apologize and it seemed sincere, but his move was the bonehead move of the weekend.
