I would hope he would have booted a Roush car or any Ford, Toyota or Dodge for that matter.
I would lose all respect for him if he if he wouldn't.

Big Picture racing at it's finest = smart racing

Gordon Discusses Fatherhood, Hot Streak
By JOHN ZENOR
and `Space[/align][align=center]The Associated Press

This much
Jeff Gordon knows for sure: His life will change dramatically when his daughter is born this summer. And maybe, just maybe, his NASCAR career won't seem quite so important.
'I think it's going to be one of two things: It's either going to make me work that much harder and appreciate racing that much more and enjoy it that much more,' Gordon said. 'Or it's going to make me go, 'I don't even want to do this.'
The prospect of fatherhood _ the baby is due in late June or early July _ certainly hasn't diminished his enthusiasm for racing. The four-time Cup champion is off to a career-best start and leading the points race for the first time since February 2005.
The 35-year-old Gordon is fresh off a third-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway, his third top-5 already this season.
'I think that our team is really strong right now,' said Gordon, seeking his first Cup title since 2001. 'Every time we go through something like we went through Sunday, where we faded to the back and fought our way to the front, it only makes us stronger.'
More than a few skeptics wondered whether Gordon's off-the-track good fortune _ his November marriage to supermodel Ingrid Vandebosch and then the news of the baby _ would have the opposite effect.
Crew chief Steve Letarte, however, is convinced the baby will be a blessing for Gordon on and off the track.
'He's lived for this sport. When he has a chance to go home and hold his little girl and have time to spend with his wife, I think that puts it all in perspective,' said Letarte, who has two young children. 'I think it's going to help us. I think it's going to be the best thing ever.'
Jimmie Johnson, the reigning Nextel Cup champion and Gordon's teammate, agreed.
'There are a lot of people who have started families and had successful families and racing careers,' Johnson said. 'Jeff Gordon is one of the best on the track, and I don't see it changing him.'
Gordon happily admitted he has trouble imagining the changes a baby will bring. Maybe he should compare notes with Tiger Woods, also awaiting his first child.

Sure, now everyone kisses his ***. I've dealt with "Your cheering for a ***" for practically 8 years.

Really though, Johnson can give a little here.

"What I owe Jeff" list -
1. Getting me signed to NASCAR in the first place.
2. Hooking me up with my wife.
3. Giving me the right setup for Martinsville...
