Usually when I see angry drivers they're taking gloves and the helmets off while they're still driving the car when their day is pretty much over.... so to see JG with his helmet still on was interesting. Jeff and Matt seeem to be the most polite, angry rivals I've seen.

Both are great drivers, better than anyone in the comments

I love a good rivalry but I feel like most of this just boils down to both of them racing as hard as they can for the win and something happens. It's not usually someone's fault, they're just racing hard.

exactly. there was no big hatred between these two guys ever. 17 years of racing with each other and you will have a few run ins.

Both of these guys are super classy in my opinion and its nice to see neither of them taking any shit from anyone.

Today is Gordon's last race and guess who's right behind him. Matt Kenseth. Rivals to the end

The incident at Chicagoland is almost the exact same thing as what happened with Logano at Kansas last year. Jeff's post-race comments are even similar, talking about how Matt was blocking him.

Here was the difference, though: Joey Logano had more to gain than what Gordon did. Sure, they both got the lead out of the deal, but when Jeff did what he did, that sent the race into a GWC, which wasn't good for Jeff since he was really close on fuel. He also had an opportunity to wreck Kenseth prior to the actual incident, but didn't then. Logano on the other hand, he was good on fuel, and he could knock a rival out of the championship hunt.

not to mention that Jeff even said he was sorry and didn't mean to get into him. What you fail to mention is Logano not only didn't say he wished he didn't get into him, but he said he deserved to get wrecked. On top of that he was laughing about it and never talked to matt. The next week at Talladega he brake checked Matt coming on to pit road right at the last second. Well guess what. That's going to get you wrecked. You can look back at NASCAR history and you always see guys getting paid back. Dale Earnhardt called it "driver code" and he was one of the best about talking to the other drivers after a race. Even if he ran through them. That kept Earnhardt from getting wrecked a lot over the years.

As a Logano/former gordon fan, even I say, its not the same. The 2006 race was equitable: 2 drivers in the regular season both had the same to lose if they both wrecked. The 2015 race not: logano was locked in for the next round and Kenseth was not. It didnt matter to Logano if they both wrecked...And Keselowski added fuel to the fire by wrecking Kenseth at martinsville. If that doesn't happen Kansas is no-story event.

In terms of pure driving skill, nobody can beat Gordon.

Lmao Kenseth has better car control

Im a fan of BOTH these guys.When they get old,they'll be racing each other in wheelchairs.

These guys were racing for 17 years with each other at 36 races a year and they only had about 7 issues during all that time? That's called respect from two professionals. There are guys who have 7 incidents in a single season with each other. No need to name names.

feels just like yesterday i watched both these guys start their first race!

I was in the stands & im a huge Kenseth fan!!! Great day of racing!! That's Bristol baby

Here's an idea, Gordon vs. Small sections of concrete walls without a Safer Barrier.

Could you do a whole story with Kenseth and Vickers?

Love how Kenseth pleads his innocence by saying he "barely got into him."

It would be great to update this with how they were laughing next to each other like best buds

This video came out almost 7+ years ago and nobody noticed the SHHH @8:30? 😂

8:30 Mike Joy lol

I always appreciated the way Gordon would remember stuff and exact revenge way down the road. Most people plan to get revenge and then cool off and let it go. That dude would wait months.

Anyone know the song during the intro?

I agree, man. Such a nice dude, too!

What happened to him at Michigan just ruined everything for my 10 year old self lol. Gordon was my favorite driver and that was the first race I ever went to and I was so mad I was practically screaming in the grandstands

Gordon kept his helmet on?

Yep. It was a 600K race for that year.

I'm a Jeff Gordon fan, but I love what he did to Joey Logano at Martinsville and his stealth mode attack on Keselowski.

Funny knowing they are really good friends. Only heat from good racing. Kenneth is a stand up guy!

Hanging on to it when getting bumped is different than getting wrecked when getting bumped.

Kenseth is a class act. Very respectable driver.

he did over drive it regardless of if he got hit from behind by Hamlin. thats why he pushed up into gordons nose. im not saying gordon didnt pinch him down but...

Remember some of the smaller incidents too, the #21 being forced off of the #24 at Talladega to work with the #17.

They added another chapter today with Jeff getting into Matt with a blown tire.

Kenseth has some nice saves!

If you are faster and you have to slow down to keep from ramming them, they either move or get moved.

Do one for Brian Vickers vs. Tony Stewart

The incident at Chicago cost Kenseth the title

One of my family friends taught him in school back in Wisconsin!

9:05 CRYING

its just sad that alot of kenseth fans were probably at chicagoland because kenseth is from wisconsin

He really is, never understood why every driver gets so pissed off when they get bumped or wrecked by Kenseth...they automatically should know it wasn't on purpose. He is probably the cleanest driver out there

3:58 GET OUT OF MY WAY

Actually, the rivalry goes back to 2003, when Kenseth wrecked Gordon at Bristol in the night race.

Me no win, You no win...

Idk, given the time span between each “incident” I would consider these run in’s, and not a rivalry.

I gotta say Jeff did a hell of a job keeping his car off the wall, HELL OF A JOB

Martinsville definitely serves as a nice happy-ending for this rivalry. Kenseth wrecks Logano as Jeff gets his final win to advance.

and I think it was either 2008 or 2009, Jeff was upset at Matt in the July Daytona race because Matt was unable to be a good pusher for Jeff, pretty sure it was early on in the race, they were on the high side

you hear me mike north?

i miss seeing that dupont chevy with the flames on it at bristol or martinsville when the goodyear was rubbed off. thats when you knew he was up on the wheel

0:24 Still green green green green green!

Let's hope 2013 will be good

8:30 lol

ohh yeah that is right!!

Seems like they won a lot of races with Matt.

Jeff definately has a dark side but I feel every single rivalry Jeff has had he never started it but he always finishes it which I feel is perfectly fine. You have to remember Jeff has been in the sport for a while he raced with Earnhardt Sr., DW, Rusty, and Spencer and that's how they drove Jeff is just old school same with Stewart Just old school drivers and some newer fans don't understand that and think they race dirty.

It begins and ends at Bristol

5:06 That car has eyes!

To me this isn’t a beef it’s just a them raving hard.

Still their first on-track incident

*now.

And what makes you think Kenseth won't have two titles and 40 wins by the end of his career? He's one win short of 30 and has a very good chance of winning the title this year. If Kenseth had the cars and R+D that Gordon had in his prime, he could easily win just as many races/titles.

One problem Matt has is he can't take it when it's given to him

Kenseth has had more run ins with Stewart than Gordon.

who has more wins than your driver can dream of

IDK about that.

that wasnt kenseths fault schader had a flat tire and he was infront of gordon and he checked up and kenseth ran into the back of him cause he checked up

Yeahh....no. I hear him at 5:40 saying it was his own fault.

Ahhhhhh back when the racing was good and the drivers had personalities.

as of late, gordon has been in quite a few fights that he did NOT shy away from... the only reason he wsnt fighting at phoenix is because his own crew pinned him to his pit cart...

Clearly I wrote that before the bogus ruling that allowed Gordon into the Chase. Still a two man chase for the title. Gordon would neither either kenseth or johnson to blow up or wreck and even then it would be tough for him to win the title this year.

hOW DID THEY THINK HE OVERDROVE THE CORNER.

It's called racing, Jeff. Get used to it.

I'm gunna tell you to eat your words again in another month

I COULD HAVE SPUN HIM?

Kyle Busch vs Kevin Harvick

3:18 kensith absolutely slowed down, causing the accident. Nothing shady.

Most of these were racing deals, but the one at Martinsville was just so lame from Jeff. He didn't even know what actually happened and still sought out to ruin Matt's day.

its pretty obvious I wrote that before Gordon was allowed into the chase. Sorry I dont have all day to sit here and reply to youtube comments like the rest of yall

I absolutely love the new cars I think Dodge had the best looking car personally...sundays race hasn't completely convinced me that the cars can pass on each other the cookie cutter tracks hopefully Bristol is good on sunday

He jacked 17 up 3 Times

Kenseth is the best driver JGR has now.

Never liked Gordon but he was a really great driver.

I love matt but with his personality, he would fit right in F1. Where everyone is robots over there.

there were two videos in this that show the "story". The crash at Bristol and Chicagoland and maybe Martinsville the rest was FUCKING RACING!!! This is NASCAR they are know for using there bumpers.
