Is that where the Aussie rides himself into hospital to beat the 'merican?
It costs him more in medical bills for his recovery than he wins.
But he wins.
And we all know kids, it's not how you play the game, winning is everything.
Yeah..

Financially, Gordon’s attempt was a major loss — his $7000 bill fromhis two-day stay in the hospital dwarfs his $2500 winner’s check from therace.
But for bragging rights, Gordon achieved something that most peoplewill never do — he logged 240 dirt miles in 30 laps.
