Auto Club 500 In-car Audio

Jeff Gordon’s winless drought will continue at least for another week, but his runner-up finish to Matt Kenseth in the Auto Club 500 at California Speedway showed that his race team has made significant strides on the downforce tracks over the off-season. “We certainly are going to win if we put cars out there like this,” Gordon said. “We still have a little bit of work to do but I’m excited because we ran so good. We made an adjustment that made my car just a little too tight at the end.” Gordon started 6th, ran in the top-three virtually all night, and led significant portions of the mid-late stages of the race. However, he was beaten off pit road by Kenseth with 35 laps to go. Gordon had called for a handling adjustment that made the car too tight on the final run. Although he closed in on Kenseth as the laps wound down, he was unable to get around the leader. Nevertheless, the runner-up finish thrusts him up to 2nd in the series standings and gives the team something to build on heading to Las Vegas next weekend.
