Александр, думаю, ты вещи немного накручиваешь. Никто Гордону насильно флаг этот не всучивал, он сам вначале сказал "Нет", но потом согласился. Просто обычный жест памяти, не более. Гордон уважает Эрнхардта и считает его где-то даже своим учителем. Меня лично впечатлил этот жест.

Well, I mean, obviously, you know, John Edwards and I -- I can't remember who all talked about it. It went back and forth when it first -- when somebody first came to me, and I can't remember who it was and said, hey, you know, if you get to 76, would you like to do this. And at first I said no. You know, I don't want people to take it the wrong way. I respected him so much that I didn't want it to disrespect him in any way.
But the more we talked about it, the more that we thought, no, no, it would be honoring him and it would be a good thing. So I don't remember; we all talked about it last year. It hasn't been talked about more a long time, I can tell you that.
Quote:"It means the world," Gordon said. "Holding that 3 flag, it's certainly by no means saying we're as good as him. I learned so much from him. We wanted to honor him. We've been holding on to that flag for a long time."
