Another road mishap occurred during Sunday's AAA Texas 500 when Brad Keselowski bumped in to Jeff Gordon which caused the Gordon's car a flat tire and a dead end trap for his Chase dreams.

The race ruckus happened when Keselowski's move to pass Gordon entering turn one on lap 336 of the 341 lap race. Keselowski moved to the middle of the track to go inside Gordon, who restarted on the outside line in second, and the outside of Jimmie Johnson, the race leader. As Keselowski moved to the open space, Gordon came down, and the two drivers slammed into each other.

According to Gordon "We went down into one and I just wanted to get on the outside of [Johnson] and out of nowhere I just got slammed by [Keselowski] and it cut my left rear tire. He's just a dips---, you know? I don't know how he's ever won a championship. And I'm just sick and tired of him. That's why everybody's fighting him and running him down. And your emotions are high - that was a huge, huge race for us. We had the car, we had the position. So proud of my team and I'm proud of Jimmie Johnson for winning that race and not letting up and letting that you-know-what win the race."

But Keselowski has a different view of what transpired in the road saying "We were just racing for the win. I didn't wreck him. We were just racing hard. He left a hole and you know, everything you watch in racing, you leave a hole you're supposed to go for it. He closed the hole back up, we made contact. I don't want to ruin anyone's day. I wanted to win the race and that was our opportunity. It just didn't come together."

Because of the mishap, Gordon finished 29th while Keselowski was third.

Gordon said "To [NASCAR], I'm sure it's just a racing incident. But to me it's just a bunch of crap. The kid is just doing stuff way over his head and I mean, that's uncalled for. You're racing for a win and a championship, you don't go slap someone and cut their left rear tire. And if that's what it takes, then no problem I can do the same thing back to him."
