Richmond Crown Royal 400 In Car Audio

richmond-feature

May 2 – – Jeff Gordon knew he didn’t have the car to compete with Kyle Busch for the victory at Richmond International Raceway. Crew chief Steve Letarte gambled by keeping Gordon on the track during a late caution period to allow him to inherit the lead– focusing solely on a victory. However, a series of caution flags allowed Busch to close in and eventually pass Gordon for the lead with 50 laps to go. Older tires hindered Gordon’s efforts and he faded to 8th place at the finish. Nevertheless, he re-assumed the series points lead after losing the top spot at Talladega.

Jeff to Start on the Front Row at Richmond

by Leave a Comment

richmond-qual

May 1 – – Jeff Gordon expects a battle in Saturday night’s race at Richmond International Raceway where he’ll start on the outside of the front row. But his opponent might not be another competitor; rather, it might be himself. He has complained of back pain over the past few months and expects to fight through pain in the race. “This will be a tough weekend because of the g-forces and the braking that you use here and the long runs that you have here,” Gordon said. Gordon underwent an MRI earlier in the week and has a better picture on his back problems. “I’ve got some information that I’m just not ready to release yet or admit to,” Gordon said. “When I know how I’m going to treat it, I’ll let you know. I don’t believe it’s anything serious.”

Talladega Aarons 499 In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

talladega-feat

April 25 – – It should have stayed in mothballs. In the first race for the Pepsi Challenger in 1983, Darrell Waltrip drilled a dirt bank at Daytona Internaional Speedway, careened back on the track and hit the retaining wall. Twenty-six years later, Jeff Gordon’s day in the Pepsi Challenger was hindered by the same effect — a major wreck on the track. Gordon was involved in a lap 7 wreck at Talladega Superspeedway after being clipped by Matt Kenseth. The front and rear of the car was destroyed. Repairs were made and Gordon finished in 37th. He dropped to 2nd in the series points standings.

Post Crash Comments

IS THERE ANY CHANCE YOU CAN GET THE CAR BACK OUT? “I think this is the same way this Pepsi Challenger ended up in ’83. So it sure didn’t look good. It was driving good. We were having a good time there. I was actually working well with Matt (Kenseth) getting up to the front through the middle. I am not really sure what happened. I was just kinda cruising along there in the middle. Matt got up there, I think behind, maybe the No. 11 and he went low and so I was just cruising on up the middle.

“Matt went down with the No. 1 car and I guess what it was, whoever that was on the inside, I don’t think, there just wasn’t enough room. He got underneath Matt, Matt came up and I was already there.

“The car is destroyed. That is Talladega. I don’t know if we are going to be able to fix that. I know these guys are going to work real hard to try and get it back out there and get some points. Just unfortunate.

“There are so many different grooves to race out there. Matt went low so I was just going to go up the middle, it had been working so well for us up to that point. Somebody got to the inside him and closed the door.

“Things were going well, we were having a good time. Just cruising up the middle. Matt got hooked up with the No. 1 car. They started to go low and I think somebody got inside of them just as I was getting to the outside or up the middle of Matt. I don’t if he knew I was there, didn’t know I was there or what happened. But, I just got squeezed and started a big wreck.

“I didn’t see anything out of line. There was nothing. I don’t think that wreck was caused by over aggressive driving. I mean, every race and every wreck I look to see what I could have done different. Looking back on it, I wish I would have just stayed behind Matt. But that is always hindsight. We’re sitting here. It is unfortunate. It is not obviously going to be the day we were looking for.”

Carl Edwards & Brad Keselowsk Final Lap Incident Video

Carl Edwards comments on the the final lap of the Aaron’s 499.  Edwards goes on to say that someone will get killed before Nascar changes the double yellow line rule.  Edwards blocked Keselowski coming to the checkered flag which resulted in Edwards getting turned around and flipped airborne into the fence in spectacular fashion by Ryan Newman.  There were 8 minor injuries to fans in that area of the crash.

Jeff’s Back Continues to Hurt

by Leave a Comment

jeff-back-pain

Apr 21, 2009

By Geoffrey Miller

In one of the best statistical finds of the weekend, ThatsRacin’s Jim Utter noted during his race preview for Saturday night’s race that each of the three longest winless streaks of Jeff Gordon’s career were followed up by two consecutive wins.

That trend ended brutally Saturday night at Phoenix International Raceway.

But despite a disappointing night filled with tire rubs and pit road problems that led to a 25th-place finish, should the No. 24 team have something more important — like the health of their driver — to worry about later in 2009?

Gordon started fourth and looked to continue Hendrick Motorsports’ winning ways himself Saturday night [of course, his teammate Mark Martin stretched the HMS winning streak at PIR to five] but, as mentioned, numerous problems stopped that quest.

After the race, Gordon cited the pit road errors as a problem. Those on-track problems, though, weren’t the only thing holding up the No. 24.

“It just wasn’t our night. We struggled,” said Gordon. “I haven’t been feeling good this weekend. My back is hurting. When you’re feeling like that, you can’t really give good information and feedback to the team.”

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard that Gordon’s back has been an ailment to him, but in the few times he’s mentioned it during interviews and press conferences in 2009, it’s mostly been referred to as a problem in the past tense or one that slowed him in 2008.

But now, we’ve heard that the pain might be affecting him on-track in the here and now.

It’s not a great time, either, to be facing some back issues as a NASCAR driver seeing as the season is hitting stretch where the next 12 weekends will have racing action and eight of the 36 races have been completed.

Certainly back issues can be a hindrance to on-track performance because the pain often just simply doesn’t go away and the movements required in a race car can be taxing over the course of a race.

Of course, this problem might be just a small blip on Gordon’s otherwise excellent season so far, but without a doubt it’s got to be a slight cause for concern.

April 19 – – Jeff Gordon battled handling issues for the balance of the Subway 500k at Phoenix International Raceway. However, what looked like a solid top-10 finish became a 25th place effort due to a late mistake by the pit crew. At the front of the field, Mark Martin scored the third consecutive victory for Hendrick Motorsports. It was Martin’s 36th career win and first as a member of HMS. Gordon still holds the points lead heading to next Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway.
