Jeff's a class act even in finishing 9th. Allowing Sterling to get 8th after blaming himself for the ??? bump.

From the replays I saw, Jeff made a great block (meaning he got his car 100% in front of Sterling's. Sterling bumped him from behind, first. Then, as Jeff drifted towards the yellow stripe to protect the inside, Sterling went below the line (against the rules) and once he got along side Jeff, and Sterling knew he had Gordon prone, he came back on the race track and wiped Jeff out.

Then Sterling showed what class act he is. He knew he couldn't work on the car during the red flag, but rules don't seem to matter to that puke. Then in the post race interview, he laughs up a storm like it was no big deal. Well to other racers that are actually gonna have a chance at a title, and those like Jeff that could end up setting some records, it is a big deal.

Watching the whole thing unfold and then watching the interview reminded me that he's the same guy that didn't yield to Earnhardt's attempt to block last year, and it cost Dale his life. You would have figured that maybe, just maybe, Sterling would have learned how to conduct himself on the race track.

I've NEVER wished ill will to anyone on the race track, and NEVER will. But if fate mandated that someone has to suffer a trajedy...well lets just say I'd volunteer MR. Marlin...

A friend of mine, and her husband, were on vacation. They visited a Church on Sunday. My friend likes to sit close to the front. So they entered a pew in the second row. Shortly after settling into the pew, an usher came up to them, tapped lightly on bench, and said, "This pew is saved." Her husband replied, "So are WE!"
