This is just my opinion but i saw Gordon rear-end Kenseth and i dont think Matt slowed down in front of Jeff. Jeff knew his car had been gaining half a second a lap on Matt so he should have seen that coming.

That's your opinion, and I respect it.
My Opinion; Both had been saving fuel, and Jeff had crossed the line to where he could run flat out and be OK, while Matt still had to conserve, which let Jeff catch Matt. Matt comes up on the lap car, and (pick your own here)
A. gets bottled up passing the lap car
B. engine sputters because of low fuel
C. blocks Jeff who had a run
D. was secretly hoping to get spun out
E. sees Elvis and is shocked

Jeff hits him and spins him because (pick one here)
A. Matt slowed and Jeff couldn't get slowed down in time
B. Matt slowed and Jeff tapped him to get him a little loose so he could get around, but hit him too hard
C. Matt slowed and Jeff hit him as payback
D. Matt slowed and Jeff hit him because Jeff is EVIL
E. Matt slowed and Jeff was too busy being shocked 'cause he saw Elvis too.

The only way we will ever know is if we get to see the lap times, which Nascar has, but hasn't released.

What's funny, is that I'm not even a Jeff Gordon fan. I listen to XM's Nascar channel, and you hear alot of facts, opinions, and theories from people all over, from people like us, to journalists and drivers. It's alot of information, and occasionally, some of it sticks in my head. xd

The race wouldn't of went into overtime though

He ran out before the end of the scheduled distance though, and that was under caution. The spin happened with four laps to go. He ran out within a lap or two, at caution speed. There was no way he was going to make it to the checkers if the green had stayed out.

Wether or not he would have made it to the finish is not the issue here. Jeff came up behind Matt while Matt was passing a lap car and even though Jeff had a much faster car and 4 laps to pass Matt, he punted him through the corner anyway.

Gas??? Lack thereof??

Fine, it's your noose. There's still no way that Gordon could have gained that much speed that quick to punt Kenseth out of the way.

Which means that Kenseth would have had to have slowed. Either Kenseth lifted to block Jeff, or his engine sputtered because it was starting to run out of fuel.

You know, the whole thing is silly. It happened, and there's nothing we or anyone else can do to change it. So let's just sit back and wait for the next round in this rivalry. And there will be a next round.

You know what's so funny though? In the Pepsi 400, Gordon, Kenseth, and Stewart were working together so well all race long xd
