Hendrick Motorsports--what happened at Michigan?

Question

Okay, people. That was one of the worst performances by Hendrick Motorsports at a race this year. I beleive Mears did better. Gordon has a GOOD car at one point; he and Johnson wrecks. Gordon's destroys his car, done for the day. Johnson blows tire, ends his win hope; then, he goes on to wreck on last lap. Then theres Jr. He had a good car at the beginning. Got so badly loose, lost the handling of the car. After that, he never was able to come back. Then he hits the wall, causes a caution. So, I ask: What is up? What do you have to say?

Answer 1

just rewards... what goes around comes around

Answer 2

Jeff Gordon will be fired by next week.

Answer 3

Well what happened to Gordon & Johnson was Tony Stewart.  He made a  way too aggressive move running along the top side on a restart, then coming off of 4 he turned down into Johnson, who subsequently hit Gordon.  The bent fender first cut down Johnson's tire, but he was lucky enough to be able to pit.  Gordon was not as lucky, as the contact cut down his tire coming out of turn 2 and he slammed the wall.

Answer 4

"what happened at Michigan?" well threw your whole explanation following your question you pretty much anwsered it yourself.

Answer 5

Wow Mears nearly finished the best out of all the HMS guys?? Almost makes me feel a little more comfortable with him coming to RCR lol.

Answer 6

worst race for Hendrick Motorsports...bad luck=]

Answer 7

They had a bad day.  It happens.  At the end of their bad day, they're still a lot better off than most of us.

Answer 8

Giving Jr the best car in that stable just hasn't paid off this season. Rick needs to look where his talent is, and not in a last name who sells trinkets.

Answer 9

This is what happens when Hendrick falls into political correctness(kicking Kyle Busch out for wannabe Jr and then kicking Mears out

for has been Mark Martin). The whole thing is unjust. So, to sum it

up , it is karma (what goes around comes around).

I hate to say it because I love Jeff Gordon, but the team is suffering because of Hendrick kissing Jr's butt and making room for him at the

expense of truely good drivers like Kyle Busch.

Answer 10

You win some you lose some.There's always next week.3,4 &9th in the chase still not that bad.

Answer 11

Nah Jimmie finished better then Mears (17th, 18th)

It was a bad day for Hendrick today... but we'll bounce back.  

Answer 12

That is saying a lot.

Think about it.  Mears did a better job than the other drivers.

I love it.

Answer 13

Simply put, bad day except for Mears.....Roush had the best day!

Answer 14

Was it a surprise that HMS done bad at Michigan?  Roush is the king of michigan.  If it wasn't for Dale cheating at michigan, you would have to go back to 2001 to see a chevy in victory lane at MIS.  Why did HMS do bad at Michigan today?  Why do they ALWAYS do bad at Michigan?

Go Kenseth and RFR
