I was reading an article tonight about the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois tonight. Here was a piece I found especially humerous.

As Reutimann hunted Gordon down for the lead, his team came on the radio and encouraged him to wait for Gordon to make a mistake.

“Are you kidding?” Reutimann joked. “He’s Jeff Gordon. When’s he going to make a mistake?”

David Reutimann eventually did pass Jeff Gordon for lead with about 50 laps to go and went on to capture his second career win.

Anyway, I found it amusing. Jeff is my favorite driver so I wished he could have won, but I’m a fan of David to so it was good to see him win.
