Kansas II In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

October 4 – – There were a lot of positive signs for Jeff Gordon in the Price Chopper 400 at Kansas Speedway. He finished in the top-5 for the first time in 10 races. He moved up three spots in the points standings. And he led 29 laps — his 7th highest total of the 2010 season. Gordon’s 5th place finish propeled him to within 58 points of series leader Jimmie Johnson. Gordon gained ground at Kansas. The question is: Did he gain enough? “It was a good race for us,” Gordon said, “but I felt like it could have been better.”

Gordon started 3rd and moved to the runner-up spot at the outset. He ran down and took the lead from Kasey Kahne at the 30-lap mark. Gordon held the top spot through a round of caution flag pit stops, before losing the lead to Matt Kenseth on lap 63. Tony Stewart then got around Gordon to send him back to 3rd on lap 67. He fell to 4th on lap 78 after Greg Biffle passed. Gordon came in for a green flag pit stop on lap 98, which included a chassis adjustment. Gordon dropped to 7th when the stops cycled through the field.

The adjustments seemed to help Gordon as he moved to 6th on lap 118. He remained there until a cycle of green flag pit stops on lap 148. A caution for David Reutiman’s spin brought the leaders to pit road. Gordon opted for two tires and restarted in 7th place on lap 160. Gordon got loose on the inside of Ryan Newman on lap 162, which halted his forward momentum and sent him to 8th place. Kasey Kahne’s cut tire and shredded fender brought out the caution on lap 166. A miscommunication between Gordon and crew chief Steve Letarte resulted in Gordon staying on the track. On the restart, Gordon fell out of the top-10 while battling on older tires. A caution for Kevin Conway’s blown engine slowed the field and allowed Gordon to come to pit road for fresh tires.

Gordon restarted in 14th with 75 laps to go. He moved into the top-10 within two laps of the restart. However, Kurt Busch took 10th from Gordon with 70 to go. Gordon ran side-by-side with Denny Hamlin for 4 laps, before re-taking the 10th spot from Busch. With 50 to go, he moved to 9th and challenged Newman for the 8th position. Gordon made his final green flag stop with 31 laps to go. Gordon cycled through the stops in 6th place after a 12.4 second pit stop. He passed Matt Kenseth for 5th with 18 to go and held off Carl Edwards in the closing stages to post his first top-5 finish since Chicagoland Speedway in July.

Dover II In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

September 27 – – Jimmie Johnson’s summer seemed to create a window of opportunity for his rivals to take the Sprint Cup title from him for the first time since 2005. However, Johnson does his best work in the Chase, and flexed that traditional autumn muscle with a dominant victory in the AAA 400 at Dover Speedway. The win propeled Johnson to within 35 points of the series lead after a disappointing effort to start the Chase at Loudon.

Jeff Gordon’s day was one of “almost.” He started 15th and worked his way into the top-10, before moving into the top-5 by lap 100. His high water mark was 3rd place, but handling woes on longer runs hindered his march forward. On the final pit stop, the crew turned a 17.7 slow time and Gordon lost five position. He finished in 11th place and dropped 83 points behind Denny Hamlin. More troubling for Gordon is that it has now been 9 races since his last top-5 finish — that’s his longest top-5 drought since Robbie Loomis was his crew chief in 2005.

New Hampshire II 2010 In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

September 20 – – Jeff Gordon battled to a 6th place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and moved up to 5th in the Chase points standings. Gordon took no chances as the laps wound down, electing to pit for fuel to ensure the finish instead of staying out for track position. After Jeff Burton and Tony Stewart ran out of fuel on the white flag lap, Gordon’s decision proved to be the right one.

Gordon started 17th and moved up to 15th within 5 laps. However, the handling became looser and Gordon dropped back to 19th on lap 17 when Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin passed. He re-assumed the 18th position from Hamlin on lap 20. The first caution waved on lap 26 for Scott Speed’s wreck on the frontstretch. The lead lap cars came to pit road with Gordon dropping to 22nd after a four tire change. Within five laps of the restart, he moved back up to 17th. Lap 39 brought out the caution for a spin involving Marcos Ambrose and Paul Menard. Pit stops followed with Gordon opting for 2 tires which dropped him out of the top-20. On the restart, Gordon moved up to 16th within four laps by taking a spot on the outside of Denny Hamlin. On lap 70 he passed Ryan Newman for the 14th position. Gordon stayed out during a pit stop cycle to lead lap 111 before coming to pit road.

Gordon moved up to 10th before a debris caution at the halfway point. The lead lap cars came to pit road with Gordon exiting in 9th place. He ran in 9th for the balance of the fuel run before taking 8th from Kurt Busch on lap 190. A caution for Mark Martin’s cut tire with 94 laps to go brought the leaders to pit road. Gordon picked up two spots and departed in 5th place. He moved to 4th when Carl Edwards spun Denny Hamlin in turn four with 86 laps to go. Gordon pushed Tony Stewart into the lead on the restart and settled into 3rd behind Stewart and Clint Bowyer. Gordon took the runner-up spot from Bowyer with 80 to go. Two laps later Kurt Busch spun in turn two. That set off a chain reaction of spinning that collected Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson. Gordon came to pit road to top off the fuel to ensure he could make it to the finish. He restarted in 8th with 71 laps to go.

Matt Kenseth’s wall contact with 66 to go brought out the caution — which Gordon needed to see to be safe to the end on fuel. Gordon moved up to 4th place for the restart with 63 laps to go. Three laps later, Bowyer took the spot from Gordon. A caution for Joey Logano’s spin with 59 to go slowed the field. On the restart, Dale Earnhardt Jr took 5th. Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin passed Gordon for position with 46 laps to go, sending Gordon back to 8th. On the final lap, Gordon picked up two spots after Stewart and Jeff Burton ran out of gas. He finished 6th and moved up three spots in the series standings to 5th. However, his gap to the leader increased from 60 to 75 points

Richmond II In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

September 12 – – The Joe Gibbs Racing team served notice to Jimmie Johnson that his march to a fifth consecutive title might have a roadblock. Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch battled for the victory at Richmond International Raceway before Hamlin came away with his series-leading 6th victory of the season.

For Jeff Gordon, it was a frustrating night where he was never a factor for the race lead. Gordon started 22nd battled handling issues at the outset. He dropped to 25th by lap 30. David Reuttiman’s spin on lap 54 off of Kurt Busch’s front bumper brought the caution flag. The lead lap cars came to pit road with Gordon opting for chassis adjustments. Gordon restarted in 28th and quickly moved up to 27th around Dale Earnhardt Jr. Two laps later he moved into the 25th position. At the 100 lap mark, Gordon had advanced to 21st place, but was complaining about the handling of the car. On lap 141, race leader Denny Hamlin put Gordon a lap down. Three laps later the caution waved after Terry Labonte made contact with the wall after cutting a tire.

Gordon came to pit road and restarted 18th. He was in position for the free pass if a caution came out, but was passed for position by Regan Smith on lap 160. Gordon re-took the spot from Smith 10 laps later. On lap 226, light rain began falling to bring out the caution. Gordon was awarded the free pass and got back on the lead lap. With 73 laps to go, Gordon came in for a perfunctory pit stop. He made a late race charge up to 14th, but the laps wound down too quickly. Gordon took 13th from Matt Kenseth with 21 laps to go, and passed Jeff Burton for 12th two laps later.

Gordon enters the Chase in 8th in the series standings — 60 points behind Hamlin.

Atlanta II In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

Tony Stewart dominated the Emory Healthcare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Labor Day weekend by leading 174 laps en route to his 38th career victory. Jeff Gordon was never a factor for the race lead and struggled with handling for the last 200 miles before finishing 13th.

Gordon has driven plenty of special paint schemes on the #24 Chevrolet during his NASCAR career. But Sunday night’s paint scheme at Atlanta Motor Speedway might have topped the list. The Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation scheme was designed by his 3-year-old daughter Ella (with help from Sam Bass). The paint scheme highlight’s Gordon’s foundation during childhood cancer awareness month.

Gordon started 18th and moved up four spots in the opening 10 laps. He moved to 12th on lap 17 but a loose handling condition hindered his forward progress. Gordon fell to 14th on lap 30 and came in for a green flag pit stop on lap 52. He ran in 18th after the cycle of pit stops. Gordon moved up to 15th on lap 75. A green flag pit stop on lap 97 cycled through with Gordon holding 15th at the 100-lap mark.

The handling improved and Gordon took 12th on lap 114. The first caution waved on lap 133 for debris in turn 2 (ie. Dale Earnhardt Jr going a lap down). Pit stops followed with Gordon exiting in 11th place. Gordon entered the top-10 on lap 141 with a pass on Jamie McMurray on the restart. The second caution waved on lap 144 for Denny Hamlin’s blown engine. The leaders came to pit road with Gordon exiting in 6th place. One lap after the restart, Ryan Newman wrecked Greg Biffle in turn three. Biffle’s spinning car collected Elliott Sadler in the melee.

Gordon slipped to 7th on the restart when Kyle Busch passed. However, Gordon re-assumed the 6th position from Busch on lap 167. He moved into the top-5 with a move around Kasey Kahne on lap 169. Gordon passed Martin Truex for 4th on lap 184 as he closed in on Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson at the front of the field. The handling began going away as Kevin Harvick took a spot from Gordn on lap 194. A caution for David Ragan’s spin on lap 201 brought the leaders to pit road. Gordon picked up a spot on pit road and restarted in 4th on lap 209. However, almost like clockwork, he fell to 8th on the restart. However, unlike the previous restarts where Gordon’s car came to life during the run, he continued to fade through the field. He fell out of the top-10 on lap 223, and slipped to 12th on lap 226.

Gordon’s hopes for a victory faded on lap 230 when he dropped to 15th and complained of a complete lack of grip. Gordon came to pit road just before Kevin Harvick’s cut tire brought out the caution flag. Gordon rolled through pit road without stopping to stay on the lead lap. He came to pit road under caution for fuel, tires, and a chassis adjustment. He restarted in 20th place with 62 laps to go. Gordon stayed out during a caution period for Scott Speed’s blown engine and moved up to 2nd place. However, he was no match for the field on four tires and he faded to 7th within two laps of the restart. A caution for Brad Keselowski’s cut tire with 27 to go brought the lead lap cars to pit road. Gordon exited in 10th place.

A debris caution with 22 laps to go brought Gordon to pit road for adjustments. He restarted in 12th place with 19 laps to go. He dropped a spot in the final laps and came across the finish line in 13th. He remained 2nd in the series standings with one more race before the season-ending Chase for the Championship begins in mid-September.

Bristol In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

August 22 – – After Juan Pablo Montoya wrecked Jimmie Johnson at Bristol Motor Speedway, Kyle Busch was hardly challenged en route to his third win of the season and 19th of his career. Jeff Gordon was never a factor for the lead and battled handling issues for most of the night before finishing 11th.

Gordon started 26th and gained three spots by lap 5. His progress slowed while battling a loose handling condition. On lap 42, he took over 21st from Greg Biffle. The first caution waved on lap 56 after David Gilliland made contact with the wall. Pit stops followed with Gordon opting for a chassis adjustment. He restarted in 21st on lap 63 and made his way up to 17th within seven laps. By the 100 lap mark, Gordon advanced to 15th place. The second caution came on lap 126 when David Ragan spun and backed into the wall. After a pit stop, Gordon moved into the top-10 on lap 134 with a pass on Biffle. Two laps later, the caution waved for Regan Smith’s wall contact. Gordon took 8th from Matt Kenseth on lap 160 before a loose handling condition pushed him back to 9th on lap 180. The next caution came on lap 193 when Scott Speed cut a tire.

Gordon gained three spots shortly after the restart and ran 6th on lap 208. However, handling issues returned and Gordon ran 10th when Bobby Labonte hit the wall to bring out the caution on lap 254. He came to pit road for chassis adjustments and restarted in 15th place. The complexion of the race changed on the restart when Juan Pablo Montoya turned Jimmie Johnson on the straightaway. Johnson, who led more than 150 laps, spun and sustained damage to the front and left side of the car. Johnson went to the garage for repairs. Gordon moved back into the top-10 on lap 283, and took 8th from Dale Earnhardt Jr on lap 349. On lap 392, Gordon moved into the top-5 for the first time with a pass on Montoya. Gordon stayed out to lead a lap during a sequence of green flag pit stops. He came to pit road on lap 403 for tires. A caution flag on lap 408 resulted in just 11 cars remaining on the lead lap. Gordon came to the restart in 6th on lap 414. However, he slipped back on the low line and ran 11th on lap 428. He briefly entered the top-10 before fading back to 11th at the finish. It was the fifth consecutive race where Gordon failed to post a top-5 finish. However, the finish allowed him to officially clinch a spot in the Chase for the Championship.

Michigan II In Car Audio 2010

by Leave a Comment

August 16 – – For the first 300 miles of the Carfax 400 at Michigan Speedway, Jeff Gordon put himself in a perfect position to contend for a victory. However, a cut tire with 47 laps to tire ultimately sealed his fate on a day where he posted a 27th place finish. It marked the first time this season that Gordon has gone four consecutive races without posting a top-5 finish.

Gordon qualified 36th, which was his worst career qualifying effort at Michigan. However, he posted the 3rd fastest lap in Saturday’s final practice and started off the race with forward momentum. Gordon gained 8 positions in the first two laps to move up to 28th. By lap 5 he moved into 23rd as he was able to run the low line in the corner to gain spots. On lap 9, he passed David Ragan to move into the top-20. His forward march continued as he took 16th from Kyle Busch on lap 18. He took 14th from Kurt Busch on lap 20 by driving hard off turn 4. The first caution waved on lap 32 for Kurt Busch’s blown engine. Gordon came to pit road for fuel and tires. A slow pit stop sent him back out in 16th place. He dropped to 19th within 3 laps of the restart on lap 42 while complaining of loose handling. Light rain brought the caution on lap 60 with Gordon entrenched in 19th place. He lost a spot on pit road and restarted in 20th on lap 65.

Gordon began moving through traffic on the restart and ran 14th on lap 70. Four laps later he passed Matt Kenseth to take over the 11th position. He entered the top-10 on lap 72 with a pass on Jeff Burton. Gordon took 8th from Juan Pablo Montoya on lap 80. At the halfway point, Gordon passed Jimmie Johnson for the 6th position. He came to pit road for a green flag stop on lap 103. He cycled through the pit stop sequence in 7th place. On lap 109, Gordon took 6th from Kyle Busch. Five laps later he took 4th from Kasey Kahne. Gordon passed Tony Stewart for 3rd on lap 121. The handling tightened up later in the run which hindered his forward storm through the field. Gordon came to pit road on lap 140 and had a 13.5 second stop. He held 3rd through the pit stop sequence. A caution flag on lap 148 for Ryan Newman’s spin brought the field to pit road. Gordon opted for a two tire change and departed in 3rd place.

Gordon dropped to 7th within a lap of the restart, but drifted up the track in turn 3 with 47 laps to go after cutting a tire. Gordon dropped to the apron with a flat left front tire and damage on the right side of his car. Gordon limped around to pit road for a tire change and sledgehammer repairs to the right front. Gordon restarted 27th with 42 laps to go realizing that fuel mileage was his chance for a solid finish. He topped off the tank just before the green flag to ensure he could make it the rest of the way. Gordon advanced to 25th before a debris caution with 33 laps to go. Gordon came to pit road for two tires and restarted in 16th with 28 to go. He fell back in traffic and ran 21st on lap 180. Gordon soon fell to 27th — the last car on the lead lap. He remained second in the series standings but lacks bonus points for the Chase For The Championship, which begins on September 19 in Loudon, New Hampshire.

Watkins Glen In Car Audio – 2010

by Leave a Comment

August 9 – – Juan Pablo Montoya dominated on the Watkins Glen road course en route to his second career victory. Montoya won by more than 5 seconds over Kurt Busch and Marcos Ambrose. Jeff Gordon was never a factor for the lead, but ran his best laps late in the race to salvage a 10th place finish.

Gordon started 14th and dropped a spot on the opening lap to Robby Gordon. On lap 15, he followed Robby Gordon past Jimmie Johnson to take 13th place. Two laps later he took 12th from Robby. The handling became looser as the green flag run continued and Gordon came to pit road for tires on lap 27. A caution for P.J. Jones slowed the field on lap 28. Gordon ran 12th at the caution flag. The second caution waved on lap 40 after Bobby Labonte stopped in the inner loop area of the track. Crew chief Steve Letarte elected to take track position and kept Gordon on the track during the caution period. The green flag waved at the halfway point — lap 45 — with Gordon losing a spot on track to Clint Bowyer. He ran in 15th on lap 48, nearly 2 miles per hour slower per lap than race leader Juan Pablo Montoya.

Gordon re-assumed the 14th spot from Bowyer on lap 57 and ran more than 20 seconds behind the leaders. He came to pit road for his final stop on lap 60. A slower stop due to the insertion of a spring rubber sent him back to 25th in the running order before a debris caution on lap 62 slowed the field. The next caution waved with 26 laps to go when Tony Stewart clipped the rear of Boris Said’s car sending the Red Bull Toyota into the turn two guardrail. Gordon moved up to 14th due to drivers pitting and the wreck in front of him. With 20 laps to go, Jimmie Johnson spun in turn 11 and collected Denny Hamlin in the melee. Gordon gained a spot and restarted in 13th with 16 laps to go. A lap after the restart, Gordon took 12th from Sam Hornish. With 10 laps go, Gordon took 11th from Ryan Newman. On the final lap, Gordon got around the slowing car of Kevin Harvick to take 10th on an otherwise forgettable afternoon in upstate New York.

Pocono – PA 500 In Car Audio

by Leave a Comment

August 2 – – For a period of time during the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway it looked as if Jeff Gordon was on the verge of snapping his 50-race winless drought. Gordon led the late stages of the event, but opted for four tires during a pit stop with 30 laps to go. Several drivers took two tires and used the track position to their advantage. Gordon moved from 11th to 6th in the closing laps, but was unable to seriously challenge for the win when it mattered.

Gordon raced in the top-5 for the entire race — except the ending. He started 4th and took the lead on lap 3. Gordon’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson led the balance of the first half of the race, before Denny Hamlin took the lead after the halfway point. With 45 laps to go, Gordon took the lead off of a restart from Juan Pablo Montoya. Nine laps later, Kurt Busch and Elliott Sadler crashed on the backstretch to bring out a 25-minute red flag. The field came to pit road with Gordon opting for four tires. He came off pit road in 10th place after several drivers opted for fuel only or two tires. Gordon was in 11th due to Sam Hornish staying out with 30 laps to go. Light rain began falling and the field came to pit road for a red flag delay. After nearly 20 minutes, the engines re-fired and the cars came back on the track. The green flag waved with 21 laps to go.

Gordon lost a spot on the restart before a bump draft from Jimmie Johnson gave him forward momentum. With 17 laps to go, he moved into the 9th position. He passed Ryan Newman with 16 to go, but was passed on the outside by Denny Hamlin. Gordon took 8th from Martin Truex with 9 laps to go as Greg Biffle pulled away at the front of the field. With 5 laps to go, he passed Sam Hornish for 7th. One lap later he took 6th from Mark Martin. Biffle pulled away at the front of the field and snapped a 65-race winless streak. Gordon remained second in the series standings and is now 361 points clear of the Chase cutoff.

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.
