Jeff Gordon – Daytona 500 In-car Audio
Matt Kenseth took the lead of the Daytona 500 just one lap before a caution flag on lap 148. As it turned out, it was the most important lead change of his career as the 2003 NASCAR champion was out front when the race was red flagged for rain on lap 152. NASCAR called the event after waiting less than 20 minutes. It was Kenseth’s 17th — and biggest — career victory. Jeff Gordon’s day was an up and down affair that culminated with a 13th place effort. Gordon started 3rd and ran in the lead pack for the first half of the race. He took the lead on lap 69 but a recurring tire problem on long green flag runs hindered his efforts. He dropped a lap down due to an early pit stop for tires on a green flag run after the halfway point, but rallied back after receiving the free pass under caution. However, he simply ran out of time due to the rain before his comeback through the field could be completed.

Starting Lineup for the 2009 Daytona 500 – Jeff Gordon to start 3rd.
Here is your 2009 Daytona Starting Lineup! Your Daytona Starting Lineup grid has Martin Truex Jr. at the poll position. But the Daytona 500’s biggest 
question for Sunday – will Jeff Gordon win again?
Gordon, 37, has a reported 41 race winlesss streak so far. If he doesn’t win at Daytona Sunday, this will now be the worse slump of Jeff Gordon’s career, despite 81 previous career victories and 4 championships.
Is Gordon favored to win? Nope. Gordon tells the New York Times:
“Last year was a big deal, and it’s behind us and we learned from it. We grow from it and make ourselves better and try to make sure it doesn’t happen this year. I don’t think it’s going to.”

Gatorade Duel In-Car Audio
All the doors that closed one time have opened up again for Jeff Gordon as he scored the victory in the first Gatorade Duel at Daytona on Thursday afternoon. Gordon’s victory assures him of the 3rd starting spot in Sunday’s Daytona 500. It was Gordon’s first NASCAR series win in 16 months. He ran in the top-3 for nearly the entire 60-lap event. He took the lead for the first time on lap 37, and relinquished the top spot after pit stops with 10 laps to go. Gordon eventually worked his way back to the front with drafting help from Jimmie Johnson, and traded the lead several times with Tony Stewart in the final six laps. A strong drafting push by Joey Logano pushed Gordon back into the lead with two laps to go. Gordon held off Stewart to claim the victory.

More Talk about a Gordon Retirement
In the lead-up to the Daytona 500, both Jeff Gordon and Michael Waltrip have publicly spoken about life “Post-driver.” 
In my view, it’s obvious that Waltrip will be leaving the sport as a driver long before Gordon does. Waltrip’s glory days are far behind him, and his attempts to salvage his career by becoming an Owner-Driver are more or less a failure. Not that he hasn’t proven to be a smart owner, aligning himself with Toyota just as they came into the sport, but I don’t think we’ll see him on the track in 2010.
