Gordon miffed after midrace wreck
Sunday, Mar. 20, 2011
Jeff Gordon was none too pleased with Brad Keselowski over contact between the two midway through the race.
Keselowski was involved in the first caution of the race, which took him out of contention for the win. But his Penske Racing team worked hard to salvage a good finish — and it came at the expense of Gordon, who was racing for a top 10.
Gordon wound up 14th, while Keselowski was 18th.
"He's trying to keep from going a lap down and hey, you've got to give him credit, they fought back and got back on the lead lap and got a decent finish out of it," Gordon said. "But I'll just tell Brad that the next time I'm three laps down, and he's on the lead lap, just expect the same out of me, you know? I don't expect him to just let off. He had a fast race car.
"But when you're three laps down and then you door-slam the guy trying to pass — that's what ticked me off."
