An early race incident on the Watkins Glen road course has put Jeff Gordon’s hopes of qualifying for the Chase in jeopardy. Gordon crashed on lap 14 and finished 36th in a badly damaged car. He dropped to 13th in the series standings. “It’s unfortunate,” Gordon said. “I had a big run on the 11 (Denny Hamlin). I got up on him and the nose just completely took off. Put me in the wall… put me in the grass and from that point on I was just a passenger. We’ll get it fixed, go out there, and ride around. That’s the penalty for making a mistake like that. You have to go out there and drive something like I’m getting ready to drive around there all day. We pay the price in the points. So, on to next week.”
