Jeff Gordon
I'll say the same thing I told @NASCAR & media. Reached my limit, tired of getting run into by 15. Sorry to the other guys involved.

When I was young I thought @JeffGordonWeb was the best driver. Now I've lost a lot of respect for him. #verydumb
DetailsUpdate: Bowyer hasn't twittered but this from ESPN:
It was the final exclamation point in a sequence that included Jeff Gordon slowing his car on the track to wait for Clint Bowyer so he could intentionally wreck him as retaliation for several weeks of on-track contact between the two.
It led to a full brawl inside the garage between the crews for the two drivers, with Bowyer sprinting from his car to join the fracas. He was held back by NASCAR officials from entering Gordon's hauler.
"It's pretty embarrassing," Bowyer said. "For a four-time champion, and what I consider one of the best this sport's ever seen to act like this is pretty ridiculous."
Both drivers and their crew chiefs were called to the NASCAR hauler for a meeting with series officials, and police officers stood outside on guard.
Gordon said he's had problems with Bowyer all season and had reached his limit.
"Things just got escalated over the year, and I'd just had it," he said. "Clint has run into me numerous times, wrecked me, and he got into me on the back straightaway and pretty much ruined our day. I've had it, fed up with it and I got him back."
He said he didn't know what penalties might be coming from NASCAR.
"They've got to do what they've got to do, and I guess I had to do what," he said. http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/8621485/brad-keselowski-closes-sprint-cup-title-wild-finish
