Beer bottles vs. toilet paper

The last time Jeff Gordon won a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, he was showered with beer cans and bottles from fans in the stands.
They did not particularly appreciate seeing Gordon win another race at Talladega, considered by most Dale Earnhardt territory.
Gordon reached a milestone victory last week at Phoenix International Raceway. He won the 76th Cup race of his career and tied Earnhardt for career Cup wins.
If he should win again at Talladega, Gordon can expect another beer can and bottle barrage.
"Oh, I got some of that at Phoenix," Gordon said. "If they do that at Phoenix, you can only imagine what they do here at Talladega. The fans are entitled to their opinion and their reaction and their passion and that's what makes them NASCAR fans. And so, you've got to understand they're going to react some way if it happens."
But Dale Earnhardt Jr. would rather see fans throw toilet paper on the track rather than beer bottles and cans.
Gordon agreed that toilet paper would be a better option than beer bottles.
"Sounds to me like there's going to be plenty of toilet paper being thrown whether I win or not," said Gordon, driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. "But he's got a huge fan base here and he carries a lot of weight with the messages to the fans. We've been here, me and him, battling, where they gave one to me and then the fans reacted and threw a lot of cans out there. It can be very dangerous. That's the message that needs to get out there."
