Will Jeff Gordon Win This Year?

by Leave a Comment



Last year Jeff hit a less than glamorous milestone, a winless season for the first time in his career.  So, the question will be asked, “Will Jeff Gordon win this year?”   Well, of course!  He has been very competitive in each of the 3 races this year and is now atop the points leader board.  The team is already leaps and bounds better than they were last year at this time.  Read more about this question everyone is asking at the Orlando Sentinel.

Las Vegas Shelby 427 In-car Audio

by Leave a Comment

March 1 – – Jeff Gordon seemed destined for a top-three finish in the Shelby 427 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. However, a mental mistake with 65 laps to go wound up costing him a potential victory. Gordon missed pit road, locked up his brakes, and wound up shredding the left front tire and the fender on the DuPont Chevrolet. After patchwork repairs, Gordon went to work on the track and rallied for a solid 6th place finish– which allowed him to take the points lead for the first time since October 2007. He also surpassed 20,000 laps led in his Cup series career when he led the mid-stages of the event.

Jeff to start 28th at Las Vegas

by Leave a Comment

February 28 – – Jeff Gordon will start 28th in Sunday’s 427-mile race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. While the qualifying effort was below Gordon’s standards thus far in 2009, he remains optimistic heading into the third race of the season. “At Daytona, even though we had the tire problem, I feel like we were one of the best cars out there,” Gordon said. “We won the 150 and we went to California and ran so good there that we’re just carrying that with us right now, even though we haven’t won yet and Matt Kenseth has won the first two, we’re just feeling really good about it all.” Sunday’s race will take the green flag shortly after 4:30pm/eastern. Jimmie Johnson will start on the pole after an engine change sent polesitter Kyle Busch to the rear of the field.

Jeff Gordon Has a New Gleam in His Eye and a Spring in His Step

by

When Jeff Gordon climbed out of his sleek, shiny Dupont Chevy after finishing second to Matt Kenseth in the Fontana race, team owner Rick Hendrick took one look at his driver and he knew. The gleam, that special gleam of excitement and confidence, was back in Jeff Gordon’s eyes once again.

35244_featureHendrick, seeing the spring back in the step of Gordon, made a promise not only to Jeff’s fans but to all who would listen. His veteran four-time champion would win this year, not just one race win but would win “multiple races,” according to Mr. H.

Whether the failure was on the part of the driver, crew chief, team or company, all would agree that 2008 was a less than stellar one for the No. 24 race team. Rick Hendrick admitted that “we were just not good enough for that team and I feel like we just let them down.”

Gordon has also publicly taken responsibility for the woes of the past year. He recently revealed that his back had been bothering him since the 2007 season.

The back pain and spasms were worse when he was running long races. He admitted that the pain broke his concentration and made it difficult for him to effectively wheel the car to the end of the race.

It took the cajoling of his wife Ingrid for Gordon to begin to address his back pain. At her urging, Jeff has now started to get into shape, work with a personal trainer, and has someone at the track to help him deal with his back pain prior to race day.

Gordon also shared that last year was one of adjustment, especially to his role as a new dad. As every parent can attest, he was suffering from lack of sleep and solid rest, another factor affecting his performance on the track.

Jeff Gordon Goes Green

by
