July 4 – - After dodging several close calls during the 400-mile event at Daytona International Speedway, Jeff Gordon found himself at the front of the field with 3 laps to go. However, a Richard Childress Racing freight train led by Kevin Harvick passed Gordon in the closing stages. Gordon rallied to finish 3rd and post his fourth consecutive top-5 finish
Gordon started 5th and worked his way up to 3rd on lap 9. A bump draft by Greg Biffle pushed Gordon alongside Kevin Harvick for the race lead on lap 11. Within three laps he fell to 13th after getting shuffled out of the draft. Gordon ran 14th when the competition caution slowed the field on lap 15. Gordon opted for four tires and restarted in 17th place. He was unable to make headway and dropped to 19th in the draft on lap 30. Gordon worked his way back into the top-10 on lap 46 as the handling seemed best on longer runs. He came to pit road for a green flag pit stop on lap 58. Gordon was on pit road when the caution waved for debris from J.J. Yeley’s cut tire. Based on his spot on the track, Gordon was 2nd at the time of the caution. On the restart, Gordon got a push from Brad Keselowski on the outside line to take the lead. Two laps later A.J. Allmendinger spun off turn four and made contact with the inside wall.
On the restart, Keselowski jumped in front of Gordon to take the race lead. Two laps later, Gordon received a drafting push from Denny Hamlin to re-take the lead. Shortly thereafter, Juan Pablo Montoya pulled to the inside to take the lead. Gordon was shuffled back to 4th in the high line behind Hamlin. Gordon slipped to 14th on lap 80 after taking the inside line. By lap 86, he dropped to 19th battling a loose handling condition. At lap 100, Gordon moved back up to 13th but was distantly behind the lead drafting pack. He came in for a green flag pit stop at lap 101 and changed four tires. On lap 103, the caution for Kyle Busch’s wall contact trapped Gordon a lap down. However, Gordon stayed on the track during the round of pit stops and received the wave around to get back on the lead lap. Gordon restarted in 5th with 50 laps to go. With 47 to go, Gordon moved to the high line and took the lead with drafting help from Jeff Burton. Two laps later Burton took the lead from Gordon who fell to 5th.
With 43 to go, David Ragan, Jamie McMurray, and Martin Truex made heavy contact in turn four to bring out the caution. Gordon came to pit road for tires and restarted in 8th place. He was running 7th when the caution waved with 25 laps to go for David Stremme’s wreck. Gordon came to the pits for tires and restarted in 5th place. With 11 laps to go, Gordon masterfully made his way through an 18-car melee in turn 3 which began when Kurt Busch and Jeff Burton made contact. A 20-minte red flag delay for track clean-up followed. Gordon came to pit road for four tires and restarted in 6th place. Gordon moved to 3rd behind Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick in a drafting line. With 4 to go, Gordon passed Harvick to take 2nd place behind Bowyer. He then dove low on the track to the take the lead with 3 to go. However, with 2 to go, Harvick gave Bowyer a drafting push down the backstretch to pass Gordon. He slipped back to 4th before a wreck involving Sam Hornish slowed the field just before the leaders took the white flag. On the green/white/checker restart, Gordon lined up behind Bowyer. Gordon gave Bowyer a push and then looked to the outside. Bowyer made contact with Gordon on the backstretch which broke his momentum. Gordon then lined up behind Kahne and tried to pass his future Hendrick Motorsports teammate ahead of Harvick. At the finish, Harvick held off Kahne and Gordon to take the victory.
With the 3rd place finish, Gordon moved up to 2nd in the points standings — though he trails by 50 Chase points to Denny Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson. It was Gordon’s best finish at Daytona since winning in February 2005.

Daytona 500 In Car 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.

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.

Daytona Coke Zero 400 In Car Audio
July 5, 2009 by admin
Filed under Feature, Race Audio
July 5 – - Jeff Gordon struggled to a 28th place finish with a damaged car in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway. Gordon battled handling problems for the first half of the race before getting swept up in a wreck on lap 77. He went on to finish as the last car on the lead lap in a race that saw a dramatic last lap battle between Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch. As Busch attempted to block Stewart, he found himself on the receiving end of a tap. Stewart went by to claim the victory, while Busch’s car was wrecked beyond recognition.
Jeff led the first lap of the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway. That’s the good news. The bad news is that was the only lap he led, and the only time he was in contention. Hung out on lap 2 by aggressive moves on the part of Denny Hamlin and Kurt Busch, Gordon was shuffled quickly to the back of the main pack. He was able to move back up to 8th position in the first quarter of the race, but a loose race car caused him to drift back to the mid-twenties, and on lap 77, he was caught up in a seven-car wreck that started many places ahead of him. The car was badly damaged on the right front, but heroic efforts by the Dupont crew kept him on the lead lap, even though the car was damaged and he had intermittent radio problems. A caution at lap 103 allowed the team to repair the splitter and correct handling issues and he restarted 26th, still on the lead lap. Gordon chose to hold his wounded car at the rear of the pack, saying “we’ve got a better chance to drive through the big one than to be in it.” Another caution at lap 152 allowed Gordon to pick up a few more spots, but a bad restart left Gordon last on the lead lap. Kyle Busch’s violent wreck on the final lap left Tony Stewart in Victory Lane and Gordon 28th, last car on the lead lap.
