Jeff Gordon: Real American

A reader (thanks jC!) left this message in response to my article yesterday--what Jeff Gordon said to Matt Kenseth when he pushed him:

"Whatcha gonna do when Gordomania runs wild on you!"

Hmmm...

(Scene--Martinsville during Happy Hour practice. Mike Joy's discussing last week's altercation)

Mike Joy: And for MORE on last week's incident between Gordon and Kenseth, lets go down to the pits with Mean Gene Berggren

Berggren: Jeff, we all saw what happened last week, Kenseth spinning you out on the last lap, then you LASHING OUT after the race. What do you have to say to Kenseth this week?

Gordon: Let me tell you something Mean Gene...in the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth, he created the Gordon-maniacs, he created the 24-car pythons BROTHER--tomorrow afternoon, at Martins-slam, Matt Kenseth's gonna feel the pain BROTHER--he's gonna look around, see those Gordon-maniacs, hear 120,000 Gordon-maniacs chanting my name--Matt, you messed with the wrong dude, BROTHER. I'm gonna say my prayers, practice hard, eat my Fritos, be true to my sponsors--be a real DuPont-ian, BROTHER--'cause WHAT 'CHA GONNA DO (rips shirt open) WHAT 'CHA GONNA DO, WHEN GORDON-MANIA, RUNS WILD ON YOU!

(walks away)

Berggren: Well, Jeff Gordon isssuing a challenge--wait, Matt Kenseth walking by--Matt, Matt, can we get a quick word?

Kenseth: (eating a Slim Jim) Ooooh yeah, Dig it?!?
