3 times HMS legend Jeff Gordon lost his cool on track, ft. Brad Keselowski feud

NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon is renowned for his race craft and winning habits. A four-time Cup Series champion, and a winner of 93 Cup Series races, the California native was one of the most sought-after names in NASCAR during his days as a racing driver.

As much as he is known for his racing prowess, he is also infamous for his on-track brawl against fellow NASCAR drivers. Over the years, the former Hendrick Motorsports driver got involved in multiple skirmishes, and in today's article, we have amassed the top three incidents where Gordon lost his cool.

Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton had a brawl at the 2010 Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway after the duo made contact during the caution. Burton hit Gordon from behind, and as a result, they ended up on the wall.

Furious, Gordon then went to confront Burton directly, and their verbal spat soon became a physical altercation. The duo were physically assaulting each other before the officials intervened. Their fight was shocking for many fans as both Gordon and Burton were known to be very disciplined.

During the 2012 AdvoCare 500 at Phoenix Raceway, Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer got involved in an on-track skirmish. Even though the fight started on track, it soon escalated off-track, and everyone from the team officials to pit crews was involved.

Gordon and Bowyer desperately needed a victory at the 319-lap race at Phoenix Raceway on November 11, 2012. In trying to do so, Bowyer made contact with Gordon's rear with nine laps to go. As a result, both of their races got ruined. However, Gordon did not forget it, as he slowed down to take his revenge.

He slowed down enough to see Bowyer return behind him, and once the latter was in front again, he rammed Bowyer's rear, sending him to the wall. After the race was over, Bowyer confronted Gordon for the latter's action and a scuffle broke out.

#1 Jeff Gordon versus Brad Keselowski

Jeff Gordon got into a massive brawl with Brad Keselowski after the duo made contact during the 2014 AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Keselowski, who was running behind Jimmie Johnson and Gordon, tried to sneak his #2 Ford and move past them.

In trying to do so, he made contact with Gordon's rear, sending the latter to skid and lose places aplenty. While Keselowski had all the rights to try to steal the win in the crucial playoff round, it ruined Gordon's races, and his playoff chances took a significant hit.

After the race, Gordon tried to get to Keselowski to settle the score but failed to reach him as the pit crew surrounded him. Then Kevin Harvick arrived on the scene and pushed Keselowski towards Gordon. Soon a massive brawl broke out between the drivers, and numerous pit crew had to interfere to separate the two men.
