RUNNING INTO PEOPLE AT THE DANGEST TIMES

you ever been at a busy place and out of the blue (kinda) a person you have run into previously shows up right in front of you and avoiding them is impossible?

LAS VEGAS (AP) Jeff Gordon crashed during the final practice before Sunday's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where his pole-winning car was damaged enough that Hendrick Motorsports pulled out a backup Chevrolet.

Gordon had won the pole, but will have to drop to the rear of the field at the start of the race because he changed cars.

The accident happened in the final minutes of Saturday practice when Danica Patrick spun in front of him and Gordon was unable to avoid her car. Gordon's car suffered heavy damage to the nose and right rear. So he will start in the rear again, women !!

don't think gender had anything to do with it..... I was thinking last night when I heard the news wondering how long it will take him to get back to the front.

I didn't see Denny anywhere near her when she lost it.
