Gotta wonder how much more patience Hendrick is gonna have with the Gordon-Letarte combo. They threw out Loomis in a year when they won 4 races, and now they have only one once since 2007.

I agree, something needs to be done with Letarte. He has a track record of bad calls and miscues, Jeff easily could have won today if they had given him four. Heck, Gordon would probably have 6-10 more wins in the time they have been together if the crew chief made the right calls and could adjust it properly. Seems like every time the 24 is in the hunt, they mess it up late in the race. Jeff's driving skills have not diminished, he can still wheel a car. Gotta wonder what Hendrick is thinking...

Dumb decision-should have gone with 4 after being up ftont most of the day. There are times when taking two works-but not always. Do they need a new head crew chief at DuPont? No wonder Jimmie and the #48 crew have won 4 straight. Can they make it 5 in a row? I know it's early but Jeff is 133 down. Needs to cut that in half within the next 3 races.

Didn't you guys get the word, it's all part of a plan to get the 48 car it's 5th championship.

Gordon had his back. Don't know anymore other than Gordon was pleased with how dominate they were.

Guess this why people hate Tiger (before the whole I'm a whore thing)

you could hear in Gordon's voice that he wasn't overly happy and he's not gonna call him out through the media

It would have been a brilliant call if 2-3 more people had made the same decision. If Gordon could have got out in clean air and Johnson would have used his stuff up coming through the field.

Nascar asked Gordon to let Jimmie win and he probably didn't have the balls to say no...
