Jeff+Gordon+Folds+Honor+QuikTrip+500+2015 (1)

For the first time since 1996, Jeff Gordon began a NASCAR season with consecutive finishes below 30th place. In his final race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Gordon was running 10th when he was caught up in a crash on lap 257. He slid toward the inside wall on the backstretch and made contact with a concrete wall. Gordon was credited with a 41st place finish, on the heels of 33rd place last week at Daytona.

Gordon started 35th and gained 10 spots in the first 10 laps of the race. His progress slowed as he moved to 23rd by lap 16. Gordon entered the top-20 on lap 21 and ran 18th when the competition caution waved on lap 25. Pit stops followed with Gordon restarting in 19th place on lap 30. He moved up to 15th within 5 laps of the green flag and ran in 13th when a debris caution slowed the field on lap 46. Pit stops followed and Gordon restarted 12th. He gained a spot and ran 11th when the caution waved on lap 61 for Austin Dillon’s cut tire and subsequent spin. Pit stops ensued with Gordon exiting in 13th place. He entered the top-10 on lap 85 with a move around Ryan Newman, and took 9th from David Ragan one lap later. Landon Cassill’s engine brought out the caution on lap 95. Gordon held the 9th spot through the round of pit stops. On the restart, Gordon used the inside line to his advantage and moved to 8th. He took 7th from Carl Edwards on lap 109, and dispatched of Kasey Kahne on lap 112. However, Jimmie Johnson went by to send Gordon back to 7th on lap 120. He faded back to 8th on lap 124 after Edwards passed. Three laps later, Kahne went by to send Gordon to 9th place. He slipped out of the top-10 on lap 131 prior to a round of green flag pit stops.

Following the cycle of stops, Gordon ran in 13th place. He was up to 11th when a debris caution slowed the field on lap 176. He held the 11th spot through the round of pit stops. On the restart, Gordon dropped to 17th before a debris caution on lap 182. He moved up to 15th, but handling issues prevented him from making headway during the next run. Gordon came to pit road for a green flag stop on lap 225, and cycled through in 13th place. He was running 12th when a debris caution slowed the field with 73 to go. Gordon gained 3 spots on pit road and restarted in 10th. On lap 257, Denny Hamlin got loose and lost control coming off turn 2. He clipped Jamie McMurray who slid up the track into Gordon’s path. The #24 car made contact with the backstretch wall, and slid into the retaining wall on the infield.

JG’s comments
“I saw the 11 (Denny Hamlin) get sideways. I had him cleared. I stood in the gas and went by him. But I guess he clipped the 1 (Jamie McMurray), and that turned the 1 back into me. After that I was just along for the ride… sent me down the back straightaway. It wouldn’t have been too bad, but I found that one spot where there’s no SAFER barrier. I can’t believe it. That’s amazing to me. Anyway, hopefully soon that’ll get fixed. It was a pretty big impact. I just hate it for this team. We were struggling. We didn’t have the car I thought we were going to have. But we weren’t giving up on it. We were going to make gains and we finally got ourselves in the top-10. I think we had a shot at getting in the top-5. But obviously not the way we wanted to start our season.”

For the first 75 laps, it seemed that Jeff Gordon had the 2nd best car on the track. He was unable to take the race lead from Kevin Harvick, but was running solidly in 2nd when he cut a tire and hit the wall on lap 77. Gordon lost 2 laps and spent the remainder of the night passing cars despite being laps down. Gordon was able to get back on the lead lap in the closing stages due to cautions and finished 17th. Gordon’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne claimed the victory and clinched a spot in the Chase for the Championship

Gordon started 9th and moved into the top-5 within 3 laps after the outside line struggled on the start. He took 4th from Aric Almirola on lap 6 and moved around Matt Kenseth for 3rd one lap later. Gordon passed Kyle Larson for 2nd on lap 8 and closed to within a second of race leader Kevin Harvick. However, Gordon was unable to make significant headway and dropped to more than 4 seconds behind Harvick by lap 30. The first caution waved on lap 38 which allowed Gordon to erase the 7-second lead that Harvick had opened. Pit stops followed with Gordon restarting in 2nd place. He stayed with Harvick for about 5 laps before the lead widened to more than 3 seconds by lap 70.

On lap 77, Gordon cut a tire and hit the wall in turn 3 to bring out the caution. He flattened the right side of the Panasonic Chevrolet and came to pit road for repairs. Gordon dropped 2 laps off the pace and restarted in 39th place. He advanced to 29th by lap 100, but remained 2 laps down. A caution for Ryan Truex’s spin on lap 116 brought Gordon to pit road for tires. He restarted in 27th place, 2 laps down. Gordon moved to 24th prior to the next caution for Marcos Ambrose’s engine on lap 121. At the halfway point, Gordon ran in 24th place, 2 laps down. However, his lap times were similar to the leaders despite his circumstance of being laps down. A caution on lap 170 for Tony Stewart’s cut tire slowed the field. Gordon came to pit road for tires and restarted in 23rd place, 2 laps down.

A debris caution on lap 208 brought pit stops. Gordon once again came to pit road for tires and restarted in 23rd place. He held the spot until a debris caution on lap 255. He restarted in 22nd place with 63 to go and moved to 21st, but remained 2 laps down. A caution for Brad Keselowski’s wall contact slowed the field with 28 to go. Gordon restarted in 20th with 24 laps to go. A caution for Kyle Busch getting into Martin Truex brought out the caution with 2 laps to go. The #24 car stayed on the track for the wave-around and restarted 1 lap down in 20th place. On the restart, Kevin Harvick was squeezed into the wall to bring out the caution. Gordon received the free pass to get back on the lead lap.

Gordon restarted in 18th place and advanced to 17th when the checkered flag waved. It was his 3rd finish below 15th in the last 4 races.

Turning point
A cut left front tire on lap 77 sent Gordon into the turn 3 wall and made the rest of the night an uphill climb.

Jeff Gordon posted a 6th place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway to move within 6 points of the final Chase cutoff. Barring a victory at Richmond, Gordon would need to finish 6 spots ahead of Kurt Busch providing that Greg Biffle and Dale Earnhardt Jr do not implode.

Gordon started 5th and dove to the inside to take 3rd by the end of lap 2. He bided his time and took 2nd place from Carl Edwards on lap 20. However, Joey Logano took a spot from Gordon prior to the competition caution on lap 25. Gordon picked up a spot on pit road and restarted in 2nd on lap 28. He struggled on the restart and fell to 5th before the caution waved for contact involving Kasey Kahne. After falling to 7th on the ensuing restart, Gordon regrouped and moved to 3rd place by lap 50. He took 2nd from Juan Pablo Montoya on lap 56 prior to a debris caution. Pit stops followed with Gordon exiting with the race lead. He pulled away on the restart before a debris caution on lap 77. Edwards beat Gordon off pit road for the race lead. On the restart, Gordon struggled on the outside line and dropped to 5th. He quickly rallied back and took 3rd from Clint Bowyer by lap 83. Bowyer eventually tracked Gordon down and took 3rd on lap 103. Gordon came to pit road for a green flag stop on lap 122 and cycled through in 6th place. He took 5th from Brad Keselowski on lap 150 and moved to 4th when Joey Logano pitted one lap later. Gordon advanced to 3rd on lap 155 with a move around Jamie McMurray.

Gordon came to pit road for a green flag stop on lap 164 and cycled through in 4th place. The complexion of the race changed when race leader Clint Bowyer blew an engine on lap 193. Gordon gained a spot and restarted in 2nd place. He tracked down Edwards and edged ahead on the backstretch on lap 202. However, Edwards fought back and kept the lead of the event. Logano then passed Gordon for the runner-up spot on lap 203 and took the race lead one lap later. The next caution waved on lap 206 for Denny Hamlin’s spin. Gordon came to pit road for tires and restarted in 7th place. He fell to 10th after the restart and soon rallied back to 9th with a move around Edwards and took 8th from Kyle Busch on lap 216. One lap later he took 7th from Dale Earnhardt Jr and advanced to 6th with a pass on Kurt Busch. He dropped to 7th when Earnhardt Jr went by on lap 227. Busch passed Gordon on lap 230 to send him to 8th place. Earnhardt Jr faded and Gordon took 7th on lap 236. After Keselowski dropped a cylinder, Gordon moved to 6th on lap 248. He came to pit road for a green flag stop on lap 253 and cycled through in 4th place. Kevin Harvick went by to drop Gordon to 5th on lap 258. Gordon fell to 6th when Earnhardt Jr went by on lap 264.

Loose handling hindered Gordon’s efforts and he slipped to 9th on lap 272. A caution for Jimmie Johnson’s spin slowed the field on lap 287. Pit stops followed with Gordon opting for a track bar adjustment. He exited pit road in 8th place. Gordon fell to 10th on the restart prior to Brian Vickers’ spin to bring out the caution on lap 294. Gordon lost two spots on the restart and ran 12th when the caution waved for Jeff Burton’s wall contact on lap 298. Gordon came to pit road for tires and restarted in 16th place. On the restart with 21 laps to go, he moved from 16th up to 12th. He re-entered the top-10 with 19 laps to go and took 8th from Harvick with 16 to go. Gordon passed Marcos Ambrose for 7th with 12 laps to go. With 3 laps to go, he took 6th from Juan Pablo Montoya.

Turning point
Loose handling after lap 250 sent Gordon from 4th place back to 9th. He was unable to make significant headway until the final stages when he had fresher tires to finish 6th.

JG’s comments
“We had an excellent car and it just got away from us a little bit. The track changed quite a bit and we just couldn’t battle up front for the lead and the win like I thought we could have. I was a little disappointed in that. But it was a great effort by the whole team all weekend long. We’ll take the momentum of these last two decent finishes with solid runs and fast race cars and take it to Richmond and see what we can do. I’m having fun. These last couple weeks we’ve been battling and passing and having a great time out there. That’s all we can ask for. We didn’t do enough of that earlier in the year. That’s why we’re in the position we’re in.”

As Jeff Gordon pulled closer to Denny Hamlin on the final lap at Atlanta Motor Speedway, he opted for the high line in turn 3. Hamlin held low and finished ahead of Gordon for his second consecutive victory. Gordon, needing a win to qualify for the NASCAR Chase, lamented the lost opportunity. “I guess I’m getting soft in my old age,” Gordon said. “I’m too nice. Fifteen years ago, I would’ve moved him up the racetrack.”

Gordon started 5th and moved up to 3rd by the end of lap 5. He took 2nd from Greg Biffle on lap 7 and moved past Tony Stewart for the race lead on lap 9. Kyle Busch passed Gordon on lap 16 to take the top spot. Denny Hamlin went by on lap 18 as Gordon battled a loose handling condition. The first caution waved on lap 40 for Aric Almirola. Pit stops followed with Gordon departing in 7th place. He moved back into the top-5 by lap 50, but was unable to make further headway. He came to pit road on lap 84 for a green flag pit stop. A debris caution slowed the field on lap 130. Gordon lost a spot on pit road and restarted in 6th place. However, Gordon was forced to back off due to traffic and fell to 14th on lap 140. He regrouped and moved back up to 12th by lap 150. He re-entered the top-10 on lap 158 with a pass on Ryan Newman.

After falling to 14th following a green flag pit stop sequence, Gordon worked his way back to the top-10 on lap 190. With 100 laps to go, Gordon was in 8th and battling a loose handling car. A caution with 83 laps to go for Juan Pablo Montoya’s wall contact brought the lead lap cars to pit road. Gordon departed pit road in 11th place. He took 10th from Sam Hornish with 73 laps to go, and moved up to 8th three laps later. A caution for Carl Edwards’ engine with 68 laps to go brought the leaders to pit road. Gordon exited pit road in 7th and was running ahead of a crash on the backstretch. Jimmie Johnson was turned sideways and collected Ryan Newman with 58 laps to go. Gordon came to pit road for tires and restarted in 8th place. He quickly moved into the top-5 and took 4th from Kyle Busch with 42 laps to go.

Gordon moved to 3rd with 40 laps to go with a pass on Brad Keselowski. Six laps later he took the runner-up spot from Denny Hamlin. He began closing on Martin Truex as the laps wound down. Jamie McMurray’s wall contact with 4 laps to go brought out the caution. Pit stops followed with Gordon losing a position going from 2nd to 3rd for the green/white/checkered restart. Gordon moved up to 2nd and tried the high line to get around Hamlin entering turn 3. Hamlin held the bottom line and went on to score the victory.

Barring a victory by a wildcard contender at Richmond, Gordon will need to finish 13 spots ahead of Kyle Busch to claim the final spot in the NASCAR Chase.

Turning point

Gordon was running 2nd in the closing stages when a caution for Jamie McMurray’s wall contact brought the caution. Gordon came to pit road and departed in 3rd place, setting up the dramatic final lap to the finish.

Finally, Jeff Gordon has captured his record-breaking 85th career win. Gordon’s third win of 2011 made him the winningest driver in NASCAR’s modern era (post 1971). Gordon led the most laps in the AdvoCare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but needed to use all of his skill to hold off a charge from Jimmie Johnson in the closing stages. Johnson closed in with 10 laps to go, but Gordon held his line and bested his Hendrick Motorsports teammate for the win.

Nearly 40 hours after the AdvoCare 500 was scheduled to begin, the drivers took the green flag under overcast skies on Tuesday morning. Gordon started 5th and dropped to 7th by the end of the first lap. On lap 5, he took 6th from Martin Truex Jr. Gordon re-entered the top-5 with a lap 6 pass on Matt Kenseth. He took 4th from Brian Vickers and ran 3rd when Bobby Labonte spun on lap 12 to bring out the caution flag. Gordon pitted for tires and restarted in 21st after 17 cars stayed on the track. On the restart, he moved to 18th within two laps by taking advantage of newer tires. On lap 20, Gordon ran in 13th and moved into the top-10 just three laps later. By lap 25, Gordon closed in on Kevin Harvick for 6th place. He moved around Harvick and Tony Stewart to re-enter the top-5. After pit stops for the competition caution on lap 31, Gordon restarted in 3rd place. He moved to 2nd on the restart and took the lead from Kyle Busch on lap 46. Gordon held the lead through a green flag pit stop sequence on lap 79 and opened a 2.5-second lead. However, Labonte’s second spin of the day on lap 94 slowed the field and erased Gordon’s lead.

Gordon swapped the lead briefly with Busch on the restart, but once again pulled out to a comfortable lead by lap 102. A debris caution on lap 130 slowed the field and pit stops followed. Gordon’s crew inserted a spring rubber and dropped three spots on pit road. He restarted 4th on lap 135 and moved to 2nd within two laps behind Matt Kenseth. He re-assumed the top spot with a pass on lap 146. However, Kenseth passed Gordon for the lead on lap 166. Two laps later, Carl Edwards sent Gordon back to 3rd. On lap 170, Denny Hamlin took a position from Gordon as the handling on the #24 car went away. Following a green flag pit stop sequence, the caution waved on lap 175 after David Gilliland stopped at the entrance to pit road. Gordon ran in 3rd place at the caution as a light rain mist began falling on the track. At the 200-lap mark, Gordon was more than 2 seconds behind Kenseth and Edwards when the caution waved for the rain mist. Gordon lost 5 spots on pit road after a track bar adjustment and came off pit road in 8th. As rain began falling, JJ Yeley and Landon Cassill stayed on the track, thus dropping Gordon to 10th. The race was red-flagged on lap 210.

After nearly a one-hour delay, the race went back under green on lap 220. Gordon quickly gained 3 spots and moved to 5th within one lap. However, rain began falling on the backstretch which forced a yellow flag. The green waved again on lap 231 with Gordon lined up on the inside of Denny Hamlin. Gordon fell back to 8th within a lap of the restart, but regrouped to take 7th from David Ragan with 90 laps to go. He moved back into the top-5 with 88 laps to go. Clint Bowyer’s wall contact brought out the caution flag on lap 240. Gordon restarted in 4th after gaining a spot on pit road. With 60 to go, he took the runner-up spot from Carl Edwards. He took the race lead from Johnson with 49 laps to go and held the lead through a cycle of green flag pit stops. In the closing stages, Johnson closed in on Gordon as the Hendrick Motorsports teammates battled door to door over the final 10 laps. Gordon held off Johnson by using the high line off the corners en route to his 3rd win of 2011 and his record-breaking 85th career win.

  • This is the first time since May 2007 that Gordon led at least 50 laps in three consecutive races.
  • Gordon led more laps in the AdvoCare 500 than he had in the previous 7 Atlanta races combined.

Road ahead: A quick turnaround from the rain-delayed week in Atlanta brings the NASCAR series to Richmond for Saturday night’s race. It’s the final race before the Chase for the Championship begins. Gordon had a strong effort at Richmond in the spring, but a hard crash on the backstretch in the closing stages ended his night.

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.

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.

September 7 – – Jeff Gordon battled handling issues throughout the Pep Boys 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway en route to an 8th place finish.  He moved up to 2nd in points heading to Richmond — the final race before the chase for the championship begins.

Gordon started 4th and dropped to 6th within the first two laps before the tire pressures came up.  On lap 6, he took the 5th position from Kurt Busch.  He ran down Kyle Busch and moved into 4th a few laps later.  On lap 20, Gordon took 3rd from Jimmie Johnson.  The first caution came on lap 37 for Sam Hornish’s spin, which allowed the drivers to come in for adjustments.  Gordon, like all of his peers, dealt with handling issues during the opening run.   He came onto pit road in 3rd place and departed in the same position.

He took 2nd place for Kasey Kahne within two laps of the restart before falling back to 4th after getting loose in turn two.  On lap 48, he dropped back as Johnson and Denny Hamlin passed, and Mark Martin took a spot on lap 49.  Gordon fell to 9th on lap 50 as Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch went by.  Gordon fell to 16th on lap 60 battling a loose condition.  Sam Hornish’s second spin of the night brought out the caution and the leaders came to pit road.  Gordon restarted in 16th place on lap 65.  Within one lap of the restart, he used the outside line to move up to 11th. His forward momentum stalled and was back to 14th on lap 80.  Carl Edwards’ engine problem on lap 83 slowed the field for a caution period. Gordon gained four spots on pit road to move up to 9th place for the restart.  He pedaled up to 6th on lap 88 by taking advantage of Hamlin who spun the tires coming up to speed.  Gordon moved back into the top-5 with a pass on Kurt Busch on lap 89. Hamlin regrouped to take 5th on lap 91.

Max Papis’ wall contact on lap 105 brought the caution out.   Gordon held 6th through the round of pit stops.  On the restart, Gordon moved up to 4th on the outside line.  He took 3rd from Martin Truex on lap 116, before Johnson pushed him back to 4th one lap later.  He regrouped to take 3rd from Kyle Busch on lap 125.  A debris caution slowed the field on lap 131 as Gordon complained about a loose handling condition.   The pit crew turned a 12.7 second stop to push Gordon into the lead.  He chose the outside line for the restart and dropped to 2nd as Hamlin got a strong run off turn two.  Gordon went back to the front on lap 140 with a pass on Hamlin in turn one.  However, he slipped to 3rd on lap 167 after Hamlin and Kevin Harvick passed.  Two laps later, Brian Vickers went around Gordon on the outside line.  Dale Earnhardt Jr passed by on lap 176, and Mark Martin went by on lap 182.  Gordon came in for a four-tire change on lap 189 under the green flag.  Johnson’s spin on lap 201 brought the caution out with Gordon in 8th. He gained two spots during pit stops and restarted 6th on lap 204.

Gordon moved to 2nd on the restart, but slipped back to 4th as the tire run continued.  On lap 221, Earnhardt Jr and Martin passed to put Gordon back to 6th.  With 100 laps to go, Gordon ran in 8th while battling loose handling issues.   A caution for Kurt Busch and Reed Sorensen’s crash brought the field to pit road.  The pit crew once again did its job by gaining two spots.  He moved to 4th on the restart with 72 laps to go.   However, as was the case throughout the race, Gordon fell off as the run progressed.  He dropped two spots back to 6th with 60 to go.  Joey Logano’s spin with 57 to go brought the field back to the pit road.  Gordon exited pit road in 11th place due to a dropped lugnut.  He re-entered the top-10 with 47 laps to go, and took 9th from Kyle Busch four laps later.   Brian Vickers took a position from Gordon with 29 to go, sending him back to 10th.  Clint Bowyer’s spin with 16 to go set up some drama for the finish of the race.  Gordon lost a position on pit road and restarted in 11th with 11 laps to go.  He moved to 8th shortly after the restart but didn’t challenge Vickers for position.  At the front of the field, Kasey Kahne took the lead from Kevin Harvick on the final restart to win his second race of the season.

Post Race Comment

JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 DUPONT IMPALA SS, FINISHED 8TH:

“It was really crazy. There were a lot of things going on. I can’t even keep up with all the different things that happened. There were times I thought we had the car to beat then I thought we were going to go a lap down. We were trying to keep up with the changing conditions whether it was track, tires or whatever it was. Man, we were all over the place and never could seem to find any consistency. It was a good fight, a good top-10 and it was good to lead some laps.”
