Brickyard 400 In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

July 26 – – In the days preceding the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Jeff Gordon proclaimed that his team had “something up our sleeves for Indy.”  As it turned out, there were no magic tricks or anything up their sleeves.

Gordon started 8th and it took just a half lap for the first caution to wave.  Sam Hornish spun on the backstretch and the chain reaction collected Reed Sorensen, Kyle Busch, Elliott Sadler and David Reutimann.  On the restart on lap 8, Gordon dropped two spots and ran in 10th.  He moved to 9th on lap 10 when Ryan Newman pitted for a cut tire.  The second caution waved on lap 14 for Max Papis’ engine problem and Robby Gordon’s cut tire.  The leaders came to pit road with Gordon exiting in 7th place.  He struggled on the restart and fell to 9th by lap 25.  He slipped out of the top-10 on lap 35 when Jeff Burton went by. Gordon came to pit road on lap 49 for a green flag pit stop. Following the stops Gordon ran in 13th place. A debris caution on lap 66 brought the lead lap cars to pit road with Gordon exiting in 12th spot.

Gordon ran in 11th behind Jeff Burton for several laps before a green flag pit stop on lap 98.  With 50 laps to go, Gordon ran distantly behind the leaders in 14th place.  A debris caution with 44 laps to go resulted in pit stops with Gordon departing in 12th.  With 35 to go, Gordon began dropping positions as a right rear tire cut down.  He made an unscheduled pit stop and went a lap down.  A debris caution with 23 to go resulted in Gordon staying out for the wave around onto the lead lap.  He ran in 27th place before a caution with 16 to go when Juan Pablo Montoya, after dominating the day, hit the wall coming off turn four.  Montoya collected Dale Earnhardt Jr in the melee.  Gordon came to pit road to fix a broken splitter brace.  Gordon restarted 24th with 11 laps to go – and finished in 23rd position.  It was his worst finish at the Brickyard since he finished 33rd in 2000.  He remained second in the series points standings.

Chicago In Car Audio – 2010

by Leave a Comment

July 11 – – Jeff Gordon came to Chicagoland Speedway with his focus on a different track. Ordinarily, that would be a problem. However, Gordon and crew chief Steve Letarte brought a new car to Chicago in the hopes of using the car at Kansas Speedway during the Chase for the Championship. Based on Gordon’s 3rd place finish at Chicago, the car may have earned a return engagement later this year. Unfortunately for Gordon it’s been 48 races since his last NASCAR victory — the longest winless drought of his Cup series career. Though he posted his fifth straight top-5 finish, the first time he’s done that since March-May 2007.

Despite strong finish at DIS, Gordon needs to win

by Leave a Comment



DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Jeff Gordon was thrilled to get his once-scintillating restrictor-plate stats back on the right track Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway in the Coke Zero 400, via his first top-five finish there in three years.

“Man, I’m just happy to survive one of these restrictor plate races — it’s been a while since we’ve done that,” Gordon said with a smile. “We had a pretty good night, car drove good — especially on the long runs — and we avoided the big [wrecks] and got ourselves in a good position to win the race.”

But he didn’t win, for the 47th consecutive time in a Cup race.

Gordon’s timely third-place finish behind race winner Kevin Harvick and equally-relieved runner-up Kasey Kahne only reinforced his urgency to find his way to Victory Lane.

Gordon moved into second in the championship, which has eight events to go in the Race to the Chase, when the playoff field is set following the Richmond round in September. When he got to his post-race media briefing, he didn’t even know that — but the fact that his winless streak extended continues to bemuse Gordon and crew chief Steve Letarte. And they’re focused on ending it.

“I’m excited that we’re second in points, but I’ll be honest with you, all I look at is where we are with wins right now,” Gordon said. “When you’re positioned well in the Chase, like we are currently, then it comes down to wins and being seeded for when that Chase comes around.”

Wins are worth 10 bonus points apiece for Chase “seeding,” when the 10-race championship round begins at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in September. Gordon’s the only man in the top six in the standings who’s winless. Hendrick teammate and four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson and Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin each have five wins — and 50 extra points when the standings are reset heading into the Chase.

Daytona Coke Zero 400 In Car Audio

by 1 Comment

July 4 – – After dodging several close calls during the 400-mile event at Daytona International Speedway, Jeff Gordon found himself at the front of the field with 3 laps to go. However, a Richard Childress Racing freight train led by Kevin Harvick passed Gordon in the closing stages. Gordon rallied to finish 3rd and post his fourth consecutive top-5 finish

Gordon started 5th and worked his way up to 3rd on lap 9. A bump draft by Greg Biffle pushed Gordon alongside Kevin Harvick for the race lead on lap 11. Within three laps he fell to 13th after getting shuffled out of the draft. Gordon ran 14th when the competition caution slowed the field on lap 15. Gordon opted for four tires and restarted in 17th place. He was unable to make headway and dropped to 19th in the draft on lap 30. Gordon worked his way back into the top-10 on lap 46 as the handling seemed best on longer runs. He came to pit road for a green flag pit stop on lap 58. Gordon was on pit road when the caution waved for debris from J.J. Yeley’s cut tire. Based on his spot on the track, Gordon was 2nd at the time of the caution. On the restart, Gordon got a push from Brad Keselowski on the outside line to take the lead. Two laps later A.J. Allmendinger spun off turn four and made contact with the inside wall.

On the restart, Keselowski jumped in front of Gordon to take the race lead. Two laps later, Gordon received a drafting push from Denny Hamlin to re-take the lead. Shortly thereafter, Juan Pablo Montoya pulled to the inside to take the lead. Gordon was shuffled back to 4th in the high line behind Hamlin. Gordon slipped to 14th on lap 80 after taking the inside line. By lap 86, he dropped to 19th battling a loose handling condition. At lap 100, Gordon moved back up to 13th but was distantly behind the lead drafting pack. He came in for a green flag pit stop at lap 101 and changed four tires. On lap 103, the caution for Kyle Busch’s wall contact trapped Gordon a lap down. However, Gordon stayed on the track during the round of pit stops and received the wave around to get back on the lead lap. Gordon restarted in 5th with 50 laps to go. With 47 to go, Gordon moved to the high line and took the lead with drafting help from Jeff Burton. Two laps later Burton took the lead from Gordon who fell to 5th.

With 43 to go, David Ragan, Jamie McMurray, and Martin Truex made heavy contact in turn four to bring out the caution. Gordon came to pit road for tires and restarted in 8th place. He was running 7th when the caution waved with 25 laps to go for David Stremme’s wreck. Gordon came to the pits for tires and restarted in 5th place. With 11 laps to go, Gordon masterfully made his way through an 18-car melee in turn 3 which began when Kurt Busch and Jeff Burton made contact. A 20-minte red flag delay for track clean-up followed. Gordon came to pit road for four tires and restarted in 6th place. Gordon moved to 3rd behind Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick in a drafting line. With 4 to go, Gordon passed Harvick to take 2nd place behind Bowyer. He then dove low on the track to the take the lead with 3 to go. However, with 2 to go, Harvick gave Bowyer a drafting push down the backstretch to pass Gordon. He slipped back to 4th before a wreck involving Sam Hornish slowed the field just before the leaders took the white flag. On the green/white/checker restart, Gordon lined up behind Bowyer. Gordon gave Bowyer a push and then looked to the outside. Bowyer made contact with Gordon on the backstretch which broke his momentum. Gordon then lined up behind Kahne and tried to pass his future Hendrick Motorsports teammate ahead of Harvick. At the finish, Harvick held off Kahne and Gordon to take the victory.

With the 3rd place finish, Gordon moved up to 2nd in the points standings — though he trails by 50 Chase points to Denny Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson. It was Gordon’s best finish at Daytona since winning in February 2005.
