Phoenix II In-Car Audio

by 1 Comment

Jeff Gordon finished 11th in the Kobalt Tools 500 on a day when he struggled with handling and traffic issues for the balance of the day. Gordon ran betwen 14th-16th for most of the day and salvaged 11th due to fuel mileage. Denny Hamlin dominated the race but needed a late race for fuel, thus handing the victory to Carl Edwards. Hamlin will take a 15 point lead over Jimmie Johnson to Homestead in the hopes of capturing his first NASCAR championship.

Gordon started 22nd and fell back on the outside line. He ran 26th when the first caution waved on lap 2 for Brendan Gaughan’s contact with the wall. He entered the top-20 with a pass on Dale Earnhardt Jr on lap 30. His lap times improved later in the run as he moved to 18th by lap 45. A caution for Brad Keselowski’s wall contact on lap 60 brought the field to pit road for the frist time. Gordon’s “new” pit crew made their first stop ever for the driver after coming over from the 48 team earlier in the week. Gordon gained a spot on pit road and restarted 16th on lap 65. Gordon gained positions in the first 10 laps of the green flag and ran 12th on lap 75. He took 11th from Matt Kenseth on lap 95 before a debris caution caused by Jamie McMurray throwing a water bottle on the track on lap 101. Gordon lost 5 spots on pit road and restarted 16th.

He made his way to 13th before tight handling caused him to fall back. He dropped to 16th on lap 126 when Mark Martin passed. Gordon came to pit road for a green flag stop on lap 171. A slow stop was hindered by the right front, and Gordon ran 16th after stops cycled through the field. He moved up two spots to 14th by lap 200 as the handling seemed to improve on the longer run. Robby Gordon’s spin with 90 laps to go brought out the caution and a round of pit stops. Gordon restarted in 14th place on lap 230, but lost two spots within a lap of the restart. Travis Kvapil’s spin on lap 233 brought out the fifth caution of the race. Gordon came to pit road for tires and restarted in the 15th position. He fell to 17th after Kevin Harvick shoved him up the track in turn 4. He ran 15th for the balance of the last 60 laps before late race pit stops for fuel began. Gordon had enough fuel to make it to the end and posted an 11th place finish — the high water mark of his day in the desert.

November 8 – – Jeff Gordon’s frustration boiled over in the late afternoon sun at Texas Motor Speedway. After battling handling issues for the balance of the day, Gordon was wrecked during a caution period by Jeff Burton in turn two on lap 191. The drivers exited their cars and had a brief melee before being separated. Gordon sustained his 3rd DNF of the season and finished 37th.

Gordon started 15th and moved to 14th by lap 10. The field was slowed by a caution flag for Joe Nemechek’s engine on lap 12. Pit stops followed with Gordon opting for two tires. He restarted 8th on lap 17 and immediately jumped to 6th. However, he dropped to 7th on lap 27 as his lap times began slowing. Jimmie Johnson passed Gordon to take a position on lap 35. He fell to 10th on lap 37 when Paul Menard and Kyle Busch went by. A debris caution on lap 43 slowed the field and allowed Gordon’s crew to make chassis adjustments on pit road. Gordon changed four tires and gained two spots in the pits. He lost those spots immediately after the restart as his handling woes continued.

Gordon dropped to 12th on lap 50 unable to advance forward. A caution for Sam Hornish’s wall contact on lap 59 slowed the field. Gordon changed tires and restarted 17th on lap 64. He moved up to 15th within three laps of the restart. Kevin Harvick sent him back to 16th on lap 71. He followed Harvick through traffic and ran 14th on lap 90. He moved back into the top-10 on lap 105 with a pass on Elliott Sadler. Gordon came to pit road for a green flag pit stop on lap 111. Following the stops, Gordon ran in 14th place. Martin Truex’s spin on lap 132 brought the field to pit road. Gordon restarted in the top-10 but dropped back a few laps after the green flag. He faded to 15th by lap 150 when the caution waved for Truex’s cut tire. Pit stops followed and Gordon restarted 18th on lap 156. Gordon masterfully held his line and avoided Kyle Busch’s spinning car one lap after the restart. He spent the next 25 laps running in 20th place.

On lap 191, Jeff Burton drilled Gordon from behind sending him into the wall. Gordon exited the car and jogged across the track to the safety vehicle. He shoved Burton with both hands and unloaded with a right hand. Burton took the blame for the incident in a TV interview, which was little consolation to Gordon. “He went wide in turn three, I got to the inside and he drove into me,” Gordon said. “Then the caution came out. We went into turn one and I guess he was frustrated and drove in my right rear and put me in the wall.” Gordon slipped to 6th in points and will be mathematically eliminated from title contention next week at Phoenix. Although that’s merely for posterity since his focus had shifted to 2011 a few weeks ago.

After the wreck, Gordon’s pit crew was called over to Johnson’s pit stall as crew chief Chad Knaus elected to replace his entire crew. Gordon’s crew pitted Johnson’s car for the remainder of the day — turning stops a full second quicker than the 48 team had previously done earlier in the event.

Talladega II In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

 

October 31 – – If Jimmie Johnson wins his fifth NASCAR title in three weeks by less than 20 points, he can credit his teammate Jeff Gordon for an assist with a push in the final stages at Talladega Superspeedway. As Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick dueled for the race victory, Gordon stayed glued to Johnson’s bumper and pushed him through traffic to ensure a top-10 finish.

Gordon started 31st and moved to 24th by lap 2 with drafting help from Kyle Busch. However, he dropped out of line and fell to 36th on lap 5. Gordon drafted with Jimmie Johnson distantly behind the lead back in 27th place for nearly 15 laps. Gordon came to pit road for a green flag pit stop on lap 40. Gordon cracked the top-10 for the first time after the stops as he ran in 9th place. He moved to 7th with drafting help from Busch on lap 44. Gordon soon faded back with Johnson to avoid the tight drafting pack. Gordon ran in a line with Johnson and Denny Hamlin for 5 laps as the trio ran in the mid-20’s. The first caution waved on lap 70 for AJ Allmendinger’s spin following contact from Brad Keselowski.

Gordon gained 6 spots on pit road and restarted 19th on lap 74. Within a few laps, he dropped back to 26th in a drafting line with Johnson and Busch. At the halfway point, Gordon ran 27th in a line behind the lead drafting pack. He pitted under green for right side tires on lap 114 and returned to the drafting line in 9th place. Once again, he dropped back into the mid-20’s before the second caution waved with 55 laps to go. Dale Earnhardt Jr bump drafted Jeff Burton in turn 3, which resulted in Burton getting loose and taking both himself and Earnhardt Jr into the wall. Pit stops followed with Gordon opting for four tires. He restarted 24th after topping off the fuel before the green flag with 50 to go. Two laps later, Marcos Ambrose spun and collected Kevin Harvick and Bill Elliott. Gordon held his line on the low side of the track to avoid the wreck. He came to pit road for tires and restarted 8th with 43 laps to go.

He dropped back in traffic to run in the mid-20’s, within a distance to draft with Johnson in the closing stages. However, Gordon hooked up in a draft with Greg Biffle and moved up to 16th with 22 laps to go. He fell to 20th on lap 168 as Johnson lurked just behind him. With 16 laps to go, crew chief Chad Knaus ordered Johnson to make his move. On cue, Gordon dove to the inside with Johnson locked in a tight draft behind him. With 13 to go, Gordon and Johnson entered the top-5 on the low line. Gordon took the race lead on the backstretch with 12 laps to go — due entirely to Johnson’s drafting push. However, one lap later, Gordon slowed on the track with engine problems. A debris caution with 10 laps to go slowed the field with Gordon reporting the engine was running better. With 3 to go, Johnson fell back and Gordon provided drafting help thus allowing Johnson to keep his momentum. Johnson finished 7th — two spots ahead of Denny Hamlin which allowed him to extend his points lead. Gordon finished 8th after a wreck on the final lap slowed the field. It was Gordon’s first top-10 at Talladega since he won in October 2007. However, Gordon’s focus has now shifted to 2011 as he trails by 207 points with just 3 races to go in the season.

Martinsville II In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

October 25 – – Denny Hamlin’s 15th career victory came in the Tums 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Compared to the previous 14 wins, this was by far his biggest as he closed to within 6 points of Jimmie Johnson in the quest for his first NASCAR championship. Hamlin gained 35 points on Johnson, who finished 5th in the race, with four races remaining in the 2010 season.

Jeff Gordon’s title hopes likely became an afterthought following Martinsville as he finished 20th due in part to contact from Kurt Busch. Gordon started 11th and moved into the top-5 within 50 laps. He took the lead shortly before the halfway point by staying out during a caution period. He later slipped back to 3rd as Dale Earnhardt Jr took control of the event after the 300-lap mark. A caution flag on lap 347 brought the leaders to pit road. Gordon exited in 8th place after a problem on the left rear resulted in a 16.1 second pit stop. Gordon fell out of the top-10 on the restart and was unable to get to the inside line. He slipped to 14th on lap 370 before pulling in line in front of David Ragan. Ten laps later, Gordon dove to the inside of Kurt Busch in turn 3 and bumped his way around. Busch drilled Gordon on the frontstretch and turned him into the wall. The National Guard Chevrolet sustained heavy damage to the rear. The crew made repairs with Gordon losing a lap and restarting 22nd.

A caution for Travis Kvapil’s spin with 100 laps to go allowed Gordon to get back on the lead lap. However, Gordon remained outside the top-20 as the laps wound down. He was lapped by race leader Kevin Harvick with 60 laps to go, which put the finishing touches on an ultra-disappointing day. Gordon went a second lap down with 8 to go when race winner Denny Hamlin went by and came across the line in 20th. He dropped to 5th in points and trails by 203. It was his worst finish at Martinsville since October 2002 — eerily enough that was also the last time the San Francisco Giants were playing in the World Series. That is, before Brian Wilson struck out Ryan Howard on Saturday night.

Charlotte II In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

October 17 – – Jeff Gordon turned in perhaps the most disappointing performance of the 2010 season with a 23rd place effort at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Gordon dropped to 156 points behind Jimmie Johnson in the points standings as his title chances nearly evaporated in a single night. Gordon struggled with handling before a battery issue dropped him off the lead lap. A late race pit road speeding penalty sealed his fate on a disappointing evening.

Gordon started on the pole and opted for the outside line. He took off to a comfortable lead before a caution on lap 2 for Ryan Newman’s crash slowed the field. On the lap 7 restart, Kyle Busch powered past Gordon on the outside line off turn 2. Gordon dropped to 3rd after Carl Edwards went by. Gordon re-assumed the runner-up spot from Edwards on lap 10. Gordon dropped to 3rd two laps later after Paul Menard passed. The second caution waved on lap 23 after Kurt Busch spun off turn 4. The leaders came to pit road and Gordon exited with the lead — the benefit of having the first pit stall. Gordon lost the lead to Busch immediately after the restart as Gordon slipped to 3rd when Menard went by. Gordon fell to 4th before the next caution on lap 34 when Jimmie Johnson spun off turn 2.

Gordon moved up to 2nd on the restart by getting around Joey Logano in turn 2. He ran distantly behind Kyle Busch before a round of green flag pit stops on lap 77. A debris caution on lap 106 tightened the field as the leaders came to pit road. Gordon held the 2nd spot through the round of pit stops. He ran distantly behind Busch after the restart before a caution on lap 124 for Kasey Kahne and Sam Hornish’s incident on the frontstretch slowed the field. Gordon came to pit road for fuel and restarted 7th on lap 130. He dropped to 8th when Denny Hamlin passed after a brief battle. Gordon took 7th from Clint Bowyer on lap 142. Gordon fell to 9th battling a loose handling car on lap 150. He came in for a green flag pit stop on lap 177. Track bar and air pressure adjustments followed and Gordon ran in 11th place after the pit cycle.

On lap 191, Gordon drifted up the track and lost power. He switched batteries but went a lap down as Jimmie Johnson went by. Gordon fell to 23rd, and was the first car a lap down. Marcos Ambrose’s spin on lap 203 allowed Gordon to get back onto the lead lap. He came to pit road for a prolonged stop while the crew changed the battery. Gordon restarted 22nd as the last car on the lead lap. He struggled with handling before nearly going a lap down. On lap 239, Robby Gordon’s spin brought the caution and allowed for adjustments on pit road. Gordon restarted in 17th place with 84 to go. However, he slipped to 22nd within two laps of the restart. He ran in 20th before a green flag stop with 40 laps to go. Gordon received a penalty for speeding on the entrance to pit road, and made a pass-through with 38 to go, which dropped him off the lead lap and essentially sealed his fate for the night. Gordon finished 23rd and dropped to 156 points behind Jimmie Johnson. With just five races left in the season, Gordon would likely need Johnson and Denny Hamlin to have at least two sub-par finishes to have a chance at a championship.

Jeff Grabs the Pole at Charlotte!

by Leave a Comment

October 14 – – Jeff Gordon captured the pole position for Saturday night’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway with a lap of 191.54 mph. It is Gordon’s first pole of the season and 69th of his career. Gordon extended his streak to 18 consecutive seasons with at least one pole position. Gordon struggled in the daytime practice session as he was just 33rd on the speed chart. However, crew chief Steve Letarte made the right adjustments before qualifying and Gordon’s DuPont Chevrolet was simply on rails during the pole-winning lap. Gordon has scored a pole for 20 straight seasons in NASCAR competition going back to his years in the Nationwide series. Gordon’s first NASCAR pole came in 1991 at Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, N.C. His first Cup series pole came at Charlotte in 1993. Kinda like a siren song… oh Carolina!

California II In Car Audio

October 11 – – There was a point in the Pepsi Max 400 where Jeff Gordon’s fledgling championship hopes were on fumes. The driver had received a pit road speeding penalty with less than 50 laps to go and was mired back in traffic. A late race caution flag coupled with a determined driver helped salvage a 9th place finish. Although Gordon dropped to 85 points behind Jimmie Johnson, his fortunes were better than they would have been if the race had been green to the finish.

Gordon started 17th and picked up two positions on the opening lap. He continued slicing through traffic and moved into the top-10 on lap 5. He passed Mark Martin for 9th place on lap 7. On lap 10, he passed Greg Biffle and Juan Pablo Montoya to take over 7th place. Gordon moved into the top-5 on lap 15 by getting around Kasey Kahne. However, debris on the grilled forced him to let Clint Bowyer go by so he could tuck in behind to get the debris off. He moved back into the top-5 on lap 35 after getting around Elliott Sadler. Gordon came to pit road for a green flag pit stop on lap 38. He ran in 4th after stops cycled through the field. The first caution waved on lap 40 for Greg Biffle’s blown engine.

Gordon restarted 4th and took the lead from Matt Kenseth off turn four. However, Jimmie Johnson powered past one lap later. On lap 49, he dropped to 5th after running up the track in turn four. He took 4th from Kenseth on lap 53 before the second caution for Marcos Ambrose’s cut tire. The lead lap cars came to pit road with Gordon holding 4th place. He moved to 3rd after the restart. One lap later, the caution waved for Carl Edwards stopping on the track. Gordon took the runner-up spot from Kyle Busch on lap 65, but dropped to 3rd on lap 68 when Mark Martin went by. Green flag pit stops cycled through the field on lap 97 with Gordon running 3rd. On lap 104, Gordon ducked low and took 2nd from Johnson. A debris caution on lap 113 allowed Gordon to erase Martin’s 5-second lead. Gordon’s crew sent him back onto the track with the lead.

Gordon chose the outside line for the restart on lap 118. He paced the field until Bowyer took the lead on lap 125. One lap later Mark Martin passed Gordon for position. On lap 130, Tony Stewart took 3rd from Gordon as he battled loose handling issues. Denny Hamlin sent Gordon back to 5th with 65 laps to go. A caution for Ambrose’s spin with 64 to go brought the leaders to pit road and allowed Gordon’s team to make chassis adjustments. Gordon gained two spots on pit road and restarted 2nd with 60 to go. The inside line hindered Gordon as he dropped to 4th behind Stewart, Bowyer, and Ryan Newman. With 50 to go, Martin and Kasey Kahne passed Gordon sending him back to 6th. Gordon faded to 8th with 46 to go before a caution for Kyle Busch’s blown engine. The leaders came to pit road with Gordon departing in 11th place. However, he received a penalty for speeding entering pit road and restarted at the tail end of the lead lap. “I’m sorry about that guys, I knew I was on the edge but I didn’t think I’d be over,” Gordon radioed to his crew.

He restarted in 30th with 41 to go and began making his way through traffic. With 39 to go, he ran in 25th. A debris caution with 18 laps to go brought the lead lap cars to pit road. Gordon restarted in 25th and gained 10 spots in 10 laps to run 15th. With 7 laps to go, David Ragan and Kurt Busch wrecked on the frontstretch to bring out the caution. Gordon ran in 13th place at the caution flag. Gordon opted to come to pit road for two tires. Gordon restarted 12th for the green/white/checkered finish. He passed three cars and finished 9th. At the front of the field, Stewart held off Bowyer and Johnson to take the victory. Gordon moved to 4th in the standings, but trails Johnson by 85 points.

Kansas II In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

October 4 – – There were a lot of positive signs for Jeff Gordon in the Price Chopper 400 at Kansas Speedway. He finished in the top-5 for the first time in 10 races. He moved up three spots in the points standings. And he led 29 laps — his 7th highest total of the 2010 season. Gordon’s 5th place finish propeled him to within 58 points of series leader Jimmie Johnson. Gordon gained ground at Kansas. The question is: Did he gain enough? “It was a good race for us,” Gordon said, “but I felt like it could have been better.”

Gordon started 3rd and moved to the runner-up spot at the outset. He ran down and took the lead from Kasey Kahne at the 30-lap mark. Gordon held the top spot through a round of caution flag pit stops, before losing the lead to Matt Kenseth on lap 63. Tony Stewart then got around Gordon to send him back to 3rd on lap 67. He fell to 4th on lap 78 after Greg Biffle passed. Gordon came in for a green flag pit stop on lap 98, which included a chassis adjustment. Gordon dropped to 7th when the stops cycled through the field.

The adjustments seemed to help Gordon as he moved to 6th on lap 118. He remained there until a cycle of green flag pit stops on lap 148. A caution for David Reutiman’s spin brought the leaders to pit road. Gordon opted for two tires and restarted in 7th place on lap 160. Gordon got loose on the inside of Ryan Newman on lap 162, which halted his forward momentum and sent him to 8th place. Kasey Kahne’s cut tire and shredded fender brought out the caution on lap 166. A miscommunication between Gordon and crew chief Steve Letarte resulted in Gordon staying on the track. On the restart, Gordon fell out of the top-10 while battling on older tires. A caution for Kevin Conway’s blown engine slowed the field and allowed Gordon to come to pit road for fresh tires.

Gordon restarted in 14th with 75 laps to go. He moved into the top-10 within two laps of the restart. However, Kurt Busch took 10th from Gordon with 70 to go. Gordon ran side-by-side with Denny Hamlin for 4 laps, before re-taking the 10th spot from Busch. With 50 to go, he moved to 9th and challenged Newman for the 8th position. Gordon made his final green flag stop with 31 laps to go. Gordon cycled through the stops in 6th place after a 12.4 second pit stop. He passed Matt Kenseth for 5th with 18 to go and held off Carl Edwards in the closing stages to post his first top-5 finish since Chicagoland Speedway in July.
