"Clint Bowyer is a future champion" That's funny, you made my night.
15 had been into the 24 all season. That crazy dive bomb at Martinsville is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. He had fresher tires, he could have probably won if he'd raced clean. Gordon had finally had enough. You can only punch a guy like Gordon (4 time champ, fierce and touch competitor) so many times before he bites your hand off. Bowyer had been screwing him all year and Gordon called in his tab. This was textbook "enough is enough".
redsoxrok34 if you actually pay attention to the martinsville incident Newman gave bowyer a shove into the turn and that is how that happened
As much of a Gordon fan that I am that shot at martinsville was not his fault. Boyer got punted by Newman who just didn’t use the brakes
For the 24, I think the contact in this race was like the straw that broke his back. The 15 has been super aggressive with Jeff all year it seems, and Gordon finally broke.
He should have been suspended for that...
I know this was between Gordon and Bowyer, but I wish someone would punched Kyle Bush just for the hell of it.
Hahahaha that’s awesome.
When I watched this live, I was a little concerned for Gordon's safety when the crew jumped him. It looked like they had taken him down to the ground and were dogpiling and beating the shit out of him. Thankfully he actually wasn't a part of that. He got dragged away beforehand.
CoolDL ya, a lot of people thought Jeff was in the middle of the fight, but he wasn't even in it thanks to the few crew guys who got him out of there
No I was there. Had a pit pass jeff got body slammed and hit the ground hard popped back up went after some of the crew and got carried away.
You obviously didn't watch the whole season, Clint had it coming. He wrecked Jeff 3 times. Clint deserved every bit of this.
its called racing jeff is a baby he should have been parked for the season for that peroid
Joseph Kessler it was more then 3 he got into him at least 7 times 5 of them result in crashes Clint Bowyer is an account hack who had one lucky season what's Tony Stewart lets him go he will be out of NASCAR
Although I believe Jeff overreacted Clint definitely had it coming. He was running into Jeff all season long.
Clint said David deserved that after starting the chain of events stop blaming Clint.
Gordan just missed Keselowski. Johnson couldve gotten another championship if Keselowski got caught up in that.
Earnhardt's radio for this was hilarious! He was such a cool person! Hated to see him go.
Foxtrot Gaming Where could I hear it, ie at what point in the video please?
And he won a week later, gotta love Jeff
I think this made international news, this definitely made national news.
Dale Jr his Team Radio for this is hilarious
TroyF1 man i cant see a tv 😂😂
Ikr that cracked me up poor Jr
30 Clint Bowyer fans
alex kokkonis his only fans
clint bowyer after 8 seasons: 8 wins , 0 champoinships
jeff gordon after 8 seasons : 58 wins , 4 champoinships
Actually, after 8 seasons, Gordon had 3 championships. 1993 to 2000.

I feel like Dale Earnhardt was smiling down on Jeff Gordon during that fight. Cheering him on. Taught the kid well.
Clint Bowyer since 2008: 7 wins, 14 DNFs, 0 championships (1 runner-up, 2 top 5s)
Jeff Gordon since 2008: 6 wins, 19 DNFs, 0 championships (1 top 5, no championship since 2001)
iBolt07 jeff gordon 93 wins for championships
We must protect this video at all costs. Fans will talk shit, but I will protect this.
9 years later there sharing the broadcast booth together
That was amazing! Man, nothing but respect for Jeff Gordon. I don't even watch NASCAR, i just heard some relatives talking about it and i had to look it up. All i hear about are how different racers keep breaking rules and nothing seems to come of it, or someone gets sued or "fined" or something over something dumb. It's about time i hear something like this that actually makes sense and is still exiting, for a change.
One word:
BATTLESTATIONS!
I think a four-time champ knows what the differences between wreck-less driving and racing hard is. I love how a kid on UA-cam questions a 4-time champ with 84 wins. Danica Patrick is one thing, but a hero of this sport. That's kind of funny. You make my day mate. Now I gotta watch some Breaking Bad and some of Aliya Mustafina's old FX routines. Getting a bit bored comparing a legend to a son of a legend.
Did Clint have to attend sensitivity training after this interview?
True, Bowyer thinks shit needs to be handed to him an so many levels, throws a bitch ass fit if he actually has to drive the car around the track, his radio chatter is true to that fact.
i hate that gordon's retired but i dont blame him for not wanting to race punks like bowyer and logano anymore
golden boy wasnt happy with the way he was being treated, wahhh
Thank you! Someone with sense!
Like how they asked Alan his opinion on Jeff wrecking the car and how he has to rebuild it. Jeff didn't wreck his car most of the time and usually got caught in someone's crap....oh and he's a 4 time champion. I think he was perfectly fine with it. Also, Bowyer had it coming.
Wow I sure as hell remember being apart of this race I was at & it was dramatic
Danica Patrick will forever be The Catalyst of The Jeff Gordon/Clint Bowyer Saga (Which Foreshadowed The Matt Kenseth/Joey Logano Saga during The 2015 Season) because of The Contract between Stewart Haas Racing & Tommy Baldwin Racing on The 10 Car benefitting both teams which is why David Reutimann caused The Race Altering Caution with 4 to go in The Spring Martinsville Race (Resulting in The Infamous Phoenix Race 7 months Later) to stay in the Top 35 as a means of guaranteeing Danica a spot in The 9 Remaining Races (With The Daytona 500 being Her Cup Series Debut where She Finished 2 Spots Ahead of Jeff Gordon & 4 Spots Ahead of Jimmie Johnson) in regards to her Part-Time Cup schedule which consisted of 10 Races during The 2012 Season.
This was great! Brings back memories of when Nascar was fun to watch. When the drivers were human instead of sponsor owned robots that can't show any emotion Nascar was the best thing out there, now usually just a couple boring hours of people trying not to get in trouble for saying shit or bumping someone. Let them race and fight like the old days when the real legends raced!
To this day one of my favorite quotes is between Clint bowyer and his spotter(I think)
Spotter:they're taking care of him(Jeff Gordon)
Clint:well who the fucks fighting him(Jeff Gordon)?
Spotter:our whole pit crew
Watch the replay and notice while there is smoke coming from the left side of Jeff's car meaning that a tire was cut down, most of the smoke is coming from the right side meaning Clint forced Jeff into the wall.
Clint Bowyer deserved it 110% but Logano and Almirola didnt. Jeff should have waited till after the race to run into Bowyer. At least Jeff got the last word by winning at Homestead and beating Bowyer :)
+broncoKING24 There's also one other silver lining to what Jeff did: Bowyer didn't win the championship. He most likely would've beaten Keselowski by virtue of the chase if Jeff never wrecked Bowyer. As much as I'm probably going to get ragged on for this, Keselowski deserved the title in 2012. He was the best driver w/o the chase, and he truly drove like a champion that year. He doesn't seem to anymore, but his driving in 2012 was admirable to say the least.
You realize jeff has never won at homestead that the only track he didn't win
Jeff won at homestead that year.....
@@drivergreatness6706 he won homestead in 2012, the week after this occurred
I remember watching this live, Laughing at how he want chasing down gordon and jeff just in his hauler
*jeff hiding in his hauler. fixed it for ya
Bowyer had this coming for that stupid ass bonzai move he pulled at Martinsville earlier in the year. You push one of the sport's all-time greats hard enough, eventually he's going to push back.
Jeff did it for Dale!
Where it all started
Like the video title, What about the four times Clint wrecked gordon?
clint was stay away from the cameraman and walk to the pit lane and was like "leave me alone guys, i know i'm doing"
*what
How did he start start the fight they were throwing punches before he even got out of his car?
finally he is in the racing hall of fame gotta luv jeff
This is awesome! Have at it boys! Look at all this controversy, I love it!
I love it lol damn I miss JG
Dale never said anything bad about Jeff, he just said that he was worried that Brad wouldn't make it through the wreck. Dale knows how Jeff fells because he was in the same situation at Bristol 05 with Ryan Newman, Dale felt like he wasn't being shown the respect that a veteran of the sport deserves, especially a champion so he wrecked Newman. As a veteran and a champion there's a certain degree of respect that you should have and when the young guns don't give it to you, you set them straight.
Its so true. old-school is what it was and old-school is how it should be.
forgive me for asking .....so car 24 turned left on car 15 for pushing him against the wall early on in the race....am i right?
with the nhl lockout , this is the best way to see a good scrap
Jeff is the man. Bowyer is a TOOL.
Watch the replay when Bowyer makes contact with Jeff. There is smoke coming from the right side of Jeff's car. So are you telling me that the smoke came from nowhere? Last time I checked smoke comes off of your car when you either hit the wall or another car.
I love how Clint runs after Gordon, like he could actually beat Gordon.. lol. Spin Spinderella, Spin!!
Yea it looked like he was in a track race or some kind of running race
No you don't get a free pass if you're average. Anyone who had been repeatedly knocked around the track as much as Bowyer had done to Gordon will eventually dig their heel in. The reason this happened is Bowyer thought he could just do whatever he wanted. It just happened to be the guy he picked a fight with was a 4-time champ. If he had treated anyone else the same way all year and they put him in the wall I'd support that driver the same way
This was awesome
Gotta say..... Most exciting Phoenix race ever!
Could not agree more
I know it was wrong and I know Jeff said he regrets it to this day, but omg it was satisfying to watch in the moment lol
Iconic moment
So many people are dying with COVID, heart attacks, sickness, suicide,accidents, murder..........Man!, I’m not even over Dales death yet. I need a break......
By the way, Jeff Gordon has his own natural skills. I watched his whole career and he is by far one of the most relevant race car drivers in history, he ran with the old Gaurd and raced with the young guns and made everyone look over their shoulder. Dale respected him..... I still think Dale was the best.
While Gordon did take Bowyer out of the championship hunt, Clint got into Gordon and then ran him winde in 3, so he had it coming. Not like MWR was going to win anyway.
I agree!! I wish the whole season was aired on Fox.
Mad? Understatement of the century!
Pheonix Arizona's daily temperature usually ALWAYS makes the 90s.
Those engines bake the cockpits of those cars every race.
It had been a frustrating year for Jeff.
This race had been tiring for Jeff.
Mad doesn't even begin to cover how Jeff felt.
the crews seem to fight more than the drivers lately
Listen to the radio chatter and Clint's spotter is telling him to run Jeff high, Clint running Jeff high is why the initial contact with the wall in the dogleg happened.
Clint bowyer was living up to his sponsor.
I'm sorry. I can't hear you over Jeff Gordon's 4 championships.
Didn't it look like Bowyer took Gordon out twice????
The 15 had that coming and his crew showed what children they are.
I thought he grew em when he went after burton at texas 2010
@ 14:49 what is Ryan Pemberton talking about? "You know it's hard to see the way the 15 came below the apron it can be interpreted many different ways" WTF is he smoking no wonder Gordo never got penalized.
Everybody says that Clint Bowyer's crew attacked Jeff Gordon. But It looks as though that's actually Jeff's crew trying to protect him.
Just wondering, why did Bowyer decide to overtake him off the track? That lane is not part of the track..
He knew Gordon was gonna wreck him. Clint's spotter was saying the 24 was waiting for him
NASCAR could use something like this again. This year has been a major letdown all around.
Jeff Gordon was Aliya Mustafina. A fighter with some good results to a rough year. Dale was Komova who was strong but gave up in the end. (Olympic women's gymnastics)
The only part of that I didn't like what happened was the fact Joey Logano and Aric Almirola got involved, too, but the fact those two got involved was not Jeff's intention. Of course, seeing how you're a Jr. fan, I can understand why you oppose people supporting Jeff in any given situation.
Clint absolutely had it coming!
I never said that, you're taking the things I say out of context. Telling Clint "Run him high" does not sound in any way like he's saying "Car up high".
So you're telling me that what I heard over the radio chatter wasn't what was actually said? Yeah real nice.
Dale Sr. used to do this stuff all the time and it wasn't a big deal. How come Gordon does it and all of a sudden its a big issue?
Damn...he dropped the R word!
Man I wish DW was commentating.
Alan Gustafson handled that pretty well, nicely said
And Now They're on FOX Together
welcome back to the original nascar
Yep, but people don't understand that. Sweet to watch Jeff win the season finale, though.
All teams do it whether you like it or not. MWR, HMS, Penske, JGR, etc. They ALL do it.
jeff gordon is my favorite racer and has my fav num 24 kick clints ass jeff im ur numer 1 fan woo
If I was Clint bowyer I would let it go. Jeff Gordon and Hendrich Motorsports are not the people to get involved with. Especially when your racing for Michael waltrip.
If I was on Gordon's team I wouldn't have protected him
At least it's better than TNT's coverage
this the was best wreck jeff Gordon every did and this was the race season my dad saw he died after this on November the 15 th
Being a Gordon fan, at the time I was completely on his side and pissed at Bowyer. Now, 6 years later, I don’t think he should’ve wrecked him like that because it ruined Bowyer’s season and also took out Logano, ruining his day and costing JGR money to fix the car.
Meh. I consider Logano happy collateral damage.
It was twice at Martinsville. Now both of those times, yeah, that don't bother me. Spring race, yes, it was Newman pushing Bowyer that caused it. Fall race, that's just good ol' short track racing. They were just rubbing each other, and rubbin's racing. This though, could've been avoided. All Clint had to do was check up, wait a little bit longer, and make his move when he could've made the pass.
But Bowyer even said over the radio that it was accidental.
Yep.
Pretty funny how Dale Jarrett is talking Jeff down, but in reality he's guilty of the same crap. In Daytona at the Pepsi 400 Dale Jarrett wrecked the 24 on purpose and changed his story from MRN to TV about what happened. Dale Jarrett is one to talk.
Glad to see Jeff step up and take action. #24
I like Clint Bowyer & have been a Bowyer fan a for long time. I used to like Jeff as a driver but lost all RESPECT for Gordon when he took Bowyer out.
His exact words "Run him high" not "Jeff is up high".
So you think Jeff MEANT to collect Logano and Almirola? (And technically Almirola wrecked because he put too much brake in the car and slid into the wreck). That's what happens when you pay a guy back, someone else might get collected, that's just stock car racing, you move on from it and if the guy who got collected feels like sending a message to the guy who did the wrecking then he'll do that.
It wasn't just Logano who got wrecked, Almirola got wrecked as well.
I call Jeff Gordon a tantrum-thrower. Woulda been nice of him to confront Bowyer earlier in the season if there was really a problem instead of being scared and silent.
HAS HE EVER WON A CHAMPION SHIP NO GET THE F OFF THE TRACK BIG BABY.
not when Big E was on the track
