Atlanta In Car Audio

March 8 – - Kurt Busch captured the spring race at Atlanta Motor Speedway for the second straight year. Busch made a daring move on the penultimate restart to take the lead. The race was not without controversy as Carl Edwards was parked by NASCAR after retaliating against Brad Keselowski for a bump early in the event. Keselowski’s car flipped over on the frontstretch and pancaked the outside wall with the roof.
Jeff Gordon’s day was an exercise in frustration. Gordon started 5th and dropped a position at the outset to Kasey Kahne. Robby Gordon crashed to bring out the first caution on lap 4. He took a position from Mark Martin, and then took 4th from Dale Earnhardt Jr on lap 15. The second caution came on lap 35 for David Ragan’s cut tire and subsequent contact with the wall. The leaders came to pit road with Gordon exiting in 5th place. On the restart, Carl Edwards and Joey Logano hit the turn two wall after Brad Keselowski clipped Edwards at the bottom of the track. Gordon moved up to 3rd on lap 65, before Kurt Busch took the spot on lap 67. A debris caution on lap 77 brought the lead lap cars to pit road. Gordon departed pit road in 3rd place after a sub-15 second stop. On the restart, Gordon slipped back to 5th before rallying to take 4th on lap 89. He ran in 3rd on lap 100, but dropped the spot to Kahne on lap 109. Mark Martin’s spin on lap 115 brought the caution and the leaders to pit road. Gordon restarted in 8th and moved to 5th by lap 125. However, he dropped to 7th as Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson passed in the next four laps. By lap 142, he was down to the 12th spot after struggling with loose handling.
Gordon pitted for tires and losing more positions. He received a penalty for speeding on pit road, thus necessitating a pass-thru. Joey Logano’s cut tire on lap 160 brought out the caution and trapped Gordon two laps down. He made up a lap by not pitting under the caution flag. Gordon worked his way to 29th — the first car one lap down by lap 185. Trouble struck Gordon on lap 203 when he slowed dramatically in turn one and came to pit road for a tire issue. He ran the balance of the event a lap down before a wreck on the first green/white/checkered lap allowed him to get back on the lead lap. Gordon lined up 19th for the second attempt at a green/white/checkered finish. He gained one spot and finished the event in 18th. Gordon moved into a tie for 11th in the series points standings.
The NASCAR series takes a week off before returning to the track at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 21. Although Gordon has started the season with three finishes of 18th or worse in the first 4 races, they’ve run much better than the results indicate. When you knock on the door long enough, eventually it opens… eventually.

February 28 – - Jeff Gordon led 218 of the 267 laps of the Shelby American at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but a late two-tire change cost him as Jimmie Johnson tracked him down and passed with 17 laps to go. Johnson claimed his second consecutive win.
Gordon started on the inside of the front row due to polesitter Kurt Busch opting for the outside. Gordon passed Busch for the lead exiting turn four and picked up the 5-point bonus for leading a lap. The first caution waved on lap 2 for an incident involving Kevin Conway. Gordon chose the outside line for the restart on lap 6 and pulled away from Busch. His lead ballooned to nearly 3 seconds on lap 25, and 7 seconds on lap 40. A caution for Mike Bliss’ crash on lap 46 erased Gordon’s lead and brought the lead lap cars to pit road. Gordon held onto the lead through the round of pit stops.
Gordon opted for the outside on the restart and dropped to 2nd before a track issue forced a caution within one lap. He started on the outside of Greg Biffle on lap 57 and assumed the lead. He led until a caution on lap 85 for Sam Hornish’s spin. Gordon lost two spots on pit road and restarted in 3rd on lap 90. Shortly after the restart, Juan Pablo Montoya and Jamie McMurray crashed in turn three as Gordon moved to the runner-up position. On the restart, Gordon made a bid for the lead on the outside of Matt Kenseth and re-assumed the top spot on lap 100. Another track issue brought the caution out and the leaders to pit road. Gordon blundered by overshooting his stall and had to back-up on a fuel only stop. He exited pit road in the 3rd position. However, Gordon redeemed himself on the restart by regaining the lead on lap 114. After clinching the bonus for leading the most laps, Gordon came to pit road for a green flag stop with 106 laps to go and cycled through the sequence as the leader.
Gordon remained in the lead and came to pits for a green flag stops with 54 laps to go. Gordon’s lead was erased with 36 laps to go when Kevin Conway hit the turn two wall. The leaders came to pit road and Gordon opted for two tires. He departed with the lead, but was tracked down and passed by Jimmie Johnson with 17 laps to go. Kevin Harvick passed with 4 laps to go to put Gordon back in 3rd. Johnson pulled away to win his second straight race and 49th of his career. Gordon finished 3rd and moved up to 13th in the points standings — a gain of 9 positions. “Had more guys taken two tires, I think we could have got them,” Gordon said. “That’s what makes leading so tough sometimes. We fought them off as long as we could. We were awesome all day, the pit stops were awesome. I know Steve Letarte is beating himself up over the two-tires, but if some other guys took two…”

California In Car Audio
February 22, 2010 by admin
Filed under Feature, Race Audio
February 22 – - The In-N-Out fast food chain is one of the most popular stops for the NASCAR teams on visits to Southern California. Unfortunately for Jeff Gordon, In-N-Out described his engine in the last 75 laps of the Auto Club 500 in Fontana, California. Gordon was running 4th when his engine began missing. He wound up finishing 20th in a race won by his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson.
Gordon started 28th and worked his way into the top-20 within four laps. He steadily worked through traffic and ran 16th on lap 11. Gordon took 12th from Jamie McMurray on lap 21, and entered the top-10 on lap 30 with a pass on Mark Martin. Two laps later he climbed to 8th. Gordon came to pit road on lap 39 for a green flag stop. When stops cycled through, Gordon ran 6th on lap 44, but slipped to 8th just three laps later while battling a loose condition. A debris caution on lap 59 brought the field to pit road. Gordon opted for four tires and departed in 5th place.
Gordon dropped back to 10th on the restart after getting squeezed on the inside line. After the field became strung out he regrouped and took 8th from Greg Biffle on lap 65. However, a back and forth battle with Biffle moved Gordon up the track and back to 10th. Gordon came back and passed Biffle for 9th on lap 68, before Biffle returned the favor one lap later. Gordon patiently moved around traffic and ran 7th on lap 80. He used the high line in the corner to take 6th from Juan Pablo Montoya on lap 86. Kasey Kahne’s spin on lap 93 brought the caution and the leaders came to pit road. Gordon exited pit road in 4th place, but once again lost spots on the inside line and ran 11th at lap 100. At the halfway point, Gordon ran in 9th place – distantly behind leaders Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson.
A caution for Montoya’s engine brought the caution and the field to pit road on lap 139. However, Gordon stayed on the track and collected a 5 point bonus for leading. On the restart, Gordon chose the outside line and maintained the top spot until Ryan Newman blew an engine on lap 147. He lost the lead on the restart as Jeff Burton and Kyle Busch went by on lap 154. With 90 laps to go, Johnson went around Gordon to take 3rd place. Gordon battled back and took 3rd from Johnson with 88 to go. Trouble began with 75 laps to go when Gordon radioed about an engine problem. He slowed dramatically and came to pit road with 72 laps go with the oil temperature rising. The caution waved for rain with 70 to go and Gordon moved up to 4th due to drivers coming to pit road for fuel. The field ran under caution for nearly 20 minutes before the green flag waved with 50 laps to go.
The engine once again produced problems and Gordon faded back in traffic until the engine picked up again. With 35 laps to go, Gordon dropped back to 21st position as the engine was down a cylinder. One lap later, Gordon came to pit road for tires. Crew chief Steve Letarte speculated it was likely a spark plug problem with the car. Gordon restarted in 25th place with 20 to go. He moved around slower cars and up to 18th with 11 laps to go, before dropping two spots on lap 241. Gordon finished the event in 20th. The last time Gordon started a season with two sub-15th place finishes was 1996.

Daytona 500 In Car Audio
February 15, 2010 by admin
Filed under Feature, Race Audio
February 15 – - It was a long day into night at Daytona International Speedway as an asphalt problem in turn two delayed the Daytona 500 into a night finish. For Jamie McMurray, it turned out to be his finest moment as a NASCAR driver, while Jeff Gordon struggled late in the event with traffic and crashed on the final lap.
Gordon started in the rear of the field and moved up to 33rd by lap 5. On lap 8, he dove onto the track apron to avoid a multiple car crash triggered by Brad Keselowski’s spin in turn two. Gordon pitted for tires and restarted in 31st on lap 13. He worked the draft and moved up with Kyle Busch to 23rd on lap 30. Five laps later, he lost Busch in the draft, but moved to 21st position. Gordon entered the top-20 on lap 40 as a green flag pit stop sequence began. He came to pit road for tires and fuel on lap 50.
Gordon rode in 20th for the next 15 laps as the field strung out in a single-file line. Joe Nemechek’s spin on lap 67 brought the caution, and the field came to pit road. Gordon exited pit road in 15th place and restarted there on lap 70. However, he fell to 19th and moved up to the high line on lap 74. Mike Bliss’ spin on lap 78 brought the caution out and the field returned to pit road for tires. Gordon changed two tires and restarted in 5th on lap 82. He drafted with Martin Truex and moved into 3rd on lap 88 behind Greg Biffle and Kyle Busch. Clint Bowyer gave Gordon a drafting push, and Gordon moved to the outside to try for the race lead. However, Busch moved up in line and took the race lead with help from Gordon. Bowyer gave Gordon drafting help to take the race lead on lap 98. Gordon led the race at the halfway point, before Bowyer passed on lap 101. Gordon settled into the low line behind Kevin Harvick in 3rd place. Gordon made a bid for the lead and got shuffled back to 5th place on lap 108. He fell to 9th on lap 111 before John Andretti’s cut tire resulted in a caution flag on lap 117. Gordon changed four tires and departed in 11th place. The race was red flagged for nearly two hours after a chunk of asphalt needed replacement in turn two.
When the race restarted, the sun was setting in the western sky and the track temperature was noticeably cooler. Gordon hung to the low line and moved up to 7th with 73 to go. Gordon stayed behind Truex in the draft and moved up to 5th with 63 laps to go. Five laps later, AJ Allmendinger got loose underneath Gordon exiting turn two. Allmendinger spun toward the inside of the track, barely avoiding the left rear of Gordon’s car. Pit stops followed with Gordon exiting pit road in 5th place. On the restart, Gordon hooked up in a tight draft with Elliott Sadler on the high line. With 52 to go, Gordon pushed Sadler alongside Truex for the race lead. Two laps later, he bumped Sadler aside to take 3rd place. Gordon tried to move to the middle line with 48 laps remaining, but got hung out in the draft. He slipped back to 16th place before hooking up in a draft with Mark Martin and moving up to 12th. A caution at the 400-mile mark was for a problem with the asphalt patch in turn two. The race was red-flagged once again with drivers exiting their cars for an extended period.
The drivers returned to their cars at 6:30pm/eastern time for a finish under the lights. The lead lap cars came to pit road with Gordon opting for two tires and departing in 4th place. He restarted in 5th with 32 laps to go because Scott Speed did not pit. With 16 laps to go, Gordon worked his way around Speed on the inside line but had no drafting help. He fell to 8th before getting in line behind Jamie McMurray. He dropped to 10th on the high line behind Truex with 12 laps to go. Five laps later, Ryan Newman, Travis Kvapil, and Elliott Sadler crashed on the backstretch to bring out the caution. Gordon came to pit road for two tires and restarted in 13th place with 3 laps to go. On the restart, Bill Elliott crashed in turn three to bring out the caution and set up a green/white/checkered flag finish. Gordon lined up 15th for the GWC restart. Kasey Kahne wrecked coming off turn two (no mercy!) on the first GWC attempt as Kevin Harvick pushed his way through Greg Biffle and Martin Truex to take the race lead.
On the second GWC restart, Harvick got a push from Carl Edwards to take the racfe lead. However, the outside line zoomed by as Biffle pushed McMurray into the lead. McMurray held off a furious charge by Dale Earnhardt Jr to take the victory. Gordon wrecked in turn three on the final lap due to Denny Hamlin’s front bumper and finished the event in 26th place.

Gatorade Duel In Car Audio
February 11, 2010 by admin
Filed under Feature, Race Audio
February 11 – - For the second time in the last four years, Jeff Gordon will start the Daytona 500 from the rear of the field. In 2007, he was disqualified after winning the Gatorade Duel and started 42nd. This time around he was collected in a chain reaction crash in the Gatorade Duel. Gordon finished the event in 10th place, but sustained damage to the front and right side of the DuPont Chevrolet after an incident with 7 laps to go triggered by Michael Waltrip’s spin. Gordon started 5th and received pushes from Greg Biffle and Kyle Busch to take the race lead on two occasions. However, on lap 40, he fell out of the draft and slipped back to 9th. He was running 14th when Waltrip spun coming off turn 4. Regan Smith slowed directly in front of Gordon, who drilled the rear of Smith’s car. Gordon then brushed the wall with the right side of the car. He came to pit road for repairs and was able to draft up to 10th place at the finish. On the final lap, Jimmie Johnson got a drafting push from Kyle Busch to take the victory.
