Steve Letarte named WYPALL Wipers Crew Chief of the Race in Chicagoland

by Leave a Comment

July 14, 2009 – Steve Letarte, crew chief for the No. 24 Dupont/ National Guard Chevrolet driven by Jeff Gordon, has been named the WYPALL Wipers Crew Chief of the Race after Saturday night’s Lifelock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.

The team started the race with a stout car, taking the green flag on the inside of row four. Letarte kept his driver running up front most of the night by making adjustments to improve a tight racecar. He remained calm when a Lap 138 tangle between Gordon and Carl Edwards caused both cars to lose significant track position.letarte-wypall

But a Lap 247 caution gave Letarte an opportunity to get the No. 24 back to the front. With just 20 laps to go, he called his driver to pit road for four fresh tires in hopes to give him an advantage over the top eight teams who chose to stay out. The call paid off, and Gordon was able to pass cars at ease on his way to a second place finish.

“The caution came out at the right time for Steve Letarte to make an excellent call to come and get four tires, and the whole pit crew just did a fantastic job getting us off pit road,” Gordon said after the race. “I’m proud of Steve Letarte and all the guys on this team by making some great pit stops and just sticking with it.”

July 12 – – Jeff Gordon posted a solid runner-up finish at Chicagoland Speedway after a late rally from handling problems.  Gordon battled a tight handling condition at the outset and struggled getting off the corners virtually the entire race.  He fell out of the top-10, but rallied back through pit stops to crack the top-10 with 50 laps to go. Gordon moved up to 8th with 25 laps to go and closed in on Kurt Busch for a position before the final caution with 21 laps remaining.  Gordon was the first car to come onto pit road.  Contact between Busch and Jimmie Johnson forced Gordon onto the track apron with 15 laps to go where he got around both drivers to take 4th place.  With 13 to go, he dove low on the backstretch to take 3rd from Kasey Kahne.  Three laps later, he took the runner-up spot from Denny Hamlin.

A caution for Kyle Busch’s spin brought out the caution with 6 laps to go.  Gordon restarted on the inside of his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Mark Martin with 2 laps to go.  Martin took off on the restart and Gordon slipped behind Kahne.  He grouped to take 2nd from Kahne on the final lap, but was distantly behind Martin at the finish.  Martin and Gordon collected $1 million from the race’s title sponsor for the 1-2 finish, since the pair finished 1-2 in the Michigan race sponsored by the same company in June.

Gordon is scheduled to be a presenter at the annual ESPN awards on Wednesday night.

Post Race Quote

JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 DUPONT IMPALA SS — Finished 2nd:

GOOD CALL BY YOUR CREW CHIEF TO GET YOU SOME TIRES, WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE AT THE END? “Well we had our struggles. We had a good car, we were just a little too tight there at the beginning and we were making adjustments. Carl Edwards and I got racing really hard and he got loose underneath me and we about wrecked so we had a long battle from that point on. It was an incredible call that (crew chief) Steve Letarte made and the whole pit crew just did a fantastic job getting us off pit road. It was four tires then it was just a battle maneuvering through traffic with cars slipping and sliding all over the place. That last restart Mark (Martin) went a little early and I just spun the tires when I tried to get it going. It’s still a great finish, one-two for Hendrick. Got to thank the Patriot Academy and DuPont. It’s a privilege having them on board. We could certainly use a night like this and that’s important in the Chase. We’re running really strong and showing them what we’re made of on these tracks.”

Jeff Gordon Racing School Rebranded Nationally as Nascar Racing Experience

by Leave a Comment

NRE-Feat

CHICAGO — NASCAR announced Thursday an agreement to rebrand the former Jeff Gordon Racing School into the NASCAR Racing Experience.  The multi-year licensing agreement brings an authentic racing experience to NASCAR fans, its sponsors and business partners at race tracks throughout the country.

The NASCAR Racing Experience provides a menu of racing programs from a ride-along as a front-seat passenger to the full racing experience which puts fans behind the wheel of an authentic race car.  The program will use current Sprint Cup Series race cars for all of its programs.

“We have provided more than 200,000 driving experiences to race fans and business partners since 1998,” said Robert J. Lutz, president and CEO of NASCAR Racing Experience.  “This new step in becoming an officially licensed NASCAR property further enhances the program to allow it to expand our reach.”

“The Jeff Gordon Racing School provided an unequaled opportunity for fans to sit in the driver seat and — for a moment — become a race car driver,” said Sprint Cup driver and four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon.  “This move to become the NASCAR Racing Experience is a good step to expand the program throughout NASCAR working with more teams and tracks.”

The NASCAR Racing Experience currently has 28 Sprint Cup race cars, 40 professional instructors and is headquartered in Concord, N.C. NRE offers realistic racing action that includes timed racing sessions, no lead-follow and Personal Racing Instructors that provide constant feedback to each customer through an exclusive in-car radio communication system.  Prices for ride-alongs start at $129 and the driving programs begin at $429.

“The thrill of riding in or driving a real NASCAR Sprint Cup car is an experience of a lifetime,” said Blake Davidson, NASCAR managing director of licensed products.  “This program allows fans, corporations and our business partners to get first-hand knowledge of what its like to race at speeds upwards of 170 mph around the same tracks as the biggest stars of NASCAR. No other sport provides to its fans the chance to experience the realism of competition like a racing experience using authentic race cars on a NASCAR track.”

The NASCAR Racing Experience will begin operating at 12 Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series tracks across the country before expanding to additional tracks in 2010. Current locations include: Atlanta Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Kansas Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Nashville Superspeedway, Richmond International Raceway, Talladega Superspeedway and Texas Motor Speedway.

Daytona Coke Zero 400 In Car Audio

by 1 Comment

July 5 – – Jeff Gordon struggled to a 28th place finish with a damaged car in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.  Gordon battled handling problems for the first half of the race before getting swept up in a wreck on lap 77.  He went on to finish as the last car on the lead lap in a race that saw a dramatic last lap battle between Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch.  As  Busch attempted to block Stewart, he found himself on the receiving end of a tap.  Stewart went by to claim the victory, while Busch’s car was wrecked beyond recognition.

Jeff led the first lap of the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.  That’s the good news.  The bad news is that was the only lap he led, and the only time he was in contention.  Hung out on lap 2 by aggressive moves on the part of Denny Hamlin and Kurt Busch, Gordon was shuffled quickly to the back of the main pack.  He was able to move back up to 8th position in the first quarter of the race, but a loose race car caused him to drift back to the mid-twenties, and on lap 77, he was caught up in a seven-car wreck that started many places ahead of him.  The car was badly damaged on the right front, but heroic efforts by the Dupont crew kept him on the lead lap, even though the car was damaged and he had intermittent radio problems.  A caution at lap 103 allowed the team to repair the splitter and correct handling issues and he restarted 26th, still on the lead lap.  Gordon chose to hold his wounded car at the rear of the pack, saying “we’ve got a better chance to drive through the big one than to be in it.”  Another caution at lap 152 allowed Gordon to pick up a few more spots, but a bad restart left Gordon last on the lead lap.  Kyle Busch’s violent wreck on the final lap left Tony Stewart in Victory Lane and Gordon 28th, last car on the lead lap.

New Hampshire – In Car Audio

by 1 Comment

June 29 – – Although Jeff Gordon didn’t come away with a victory in the rain-shortened Lenox 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, a strong 2nd place effort showed that Gordon had made significant improvement on the flat tracks. Since New Hampshire is the first race in the ‘chase for the championship,’ the strong effort in June should pay dividends in mid-September.

Gordon started on the outside of the front row and immediately jumped into the lead. However, he lost the top spot to Kurt Busch on lap 7. A caution for Patrick Carpentier’s brush with the wall slowed the field on lap 15. Gordon, and most of the top-10, elected to stay on the track. On the restart, he powered ahead of Busch on the outside line to take the lead. Jamie McMurray’s wreck on lap 22 slowed the field. Gordon chose the inside line for the restart and jumped to the outside to hold onto the lead heading into the first turn. Once again, the green flag run was short-lived as A.J. Allmendinger’s spin brought the caution out on lap 28. On the next restart, Busch jumped to the lead on the outside line.

A competition caution on lap 45 brought the field to pit road. Gordon departed pit road with the lead. He chose the outside line for the restart, and subsequently lost the lead to Jimmie Johnson.

Gordon settled in behind Johnson until green flag pit stops on lap 124. Gordon trailed his Hendrick Motorsports teammate by about one second on the track. A debris caution on lap 155 brought the field to pit road. Gordon opted for two tires and exited pit road with the lead. Gordon took the outside line on the restart and held onto the lead. The caution waved on lap 172 after Paul Menard hit the wall. Gordon once again chose the outside line for the restart. Gordon got a jump on the restart, which allowed him to stay in front of the day’s major incident. Martin Truex was turned sideways by Kyle Busch on the fronstretch while coming up to speed. Truex spun toward the outside wall and collected Casey Mears, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, David Ragan, and Brian Vickers. The race was red-flagged for track clean-up.

Gordon got the jump on the restart on lap 180, but the field only ran three laps before a caution for Joey Logano’s cut tire. Gordon raced to the lead on the restart and battled side-by-side with Tony Stewart for a few laps before Scott Speed’s spin brought out the caution flag on lap 190. On the restart, Stewart battled alongside Gordon and took the lead on the backstretch. Gordon ran 2nd to Stewart before green flag pit stops on lap 235. Gordon beat Stewart off pit road and was in position to take the race lead once the stops cycled through the field. However, with rain showers on the horizon, Ryan Newman and Joey Logano stayed on the track in an effort to win a rain-shortened race. Gordon’s fresh tires cut Newman’s 15 second lead in half with 40 laps to go. Newman came to pit road with 38 laps to go after running out of fuel. Joey Logano inherited the lead as steady rain began falling, thus necessitating a caution flag. Gordon held off Busch for the runner-up position just before the caution flag. The race was red flagged with 27 laps to go. The victory was Logano’s first in the Cup series.

Weighing Risk Versus Reward – New Hampshire Lenox 301

by Leave a Comment

nhfeat-wide

June 24 – – Jeff Gordon has built nearly a 400-point cushion between himself and the cutoff position in the chase for the championship. With 10 events before the chase begins, it’s a near certainty that Gordon will be one of the 12 drivers to qualify. As such, he knows that victories in the next 10 weeks are critical to close the bonus point gap in the chase standings. He trails Kyle Busch and Mark Martin by 20 points, and Jimmie Johnson by 10 points in the chase standings. Gordon hasn’t visited victory lane at New Hampshire Motor Speedway since the infamous tiregate scandal of August 1998. There’s no better time to snap the New England winless drought than Sunday afternoon.
