Reason number one: I was a HUGE Dale Earnhardt fan. So that should be clear enough.
Number two: It is extremely rare for Gordon to own up to his mistakes. If he gets in the wall he ALWAYS says someone else put him there. Regular racing contact becomes somebody hitting him intentionally to put him out.
Now, most drivers will whine like this once in awhile. Some of them even do it A LOT (all the other HMS drivers as a matter of fact) but no one has that horrible whiny nasal voice that sounds like fingernails on a blackboard the way Gordon does.
Number three: lame paint scheme. Boring sponsor.
That oughta do it.
