Daytona Coke Zero 400 In Car 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.

Jeff Gordon – Daytona 500 In-car Audio

Matt Kenseth took the lead of the Daytona 500 just one lap before a caution flag on lap 148. As it turned out, it was the most important lead change of his career as the 2003 NASCAR champion was out front when the race was red flagged for rain on lap 152. NASCAR called the event after waiting less than 20 minutes. It was Kenseth’s 17th — and biggest — career victory. Jeff Gordon’s day was an up and down affair that culminated with a 13th place effort. Gordon started 3rd and ran in the lead pack for the first half of the race. He took the lead on lap 69 but a recurring tire problem on long green flag runs hindered his efforts. He dropped a lap down due to an early pit stop for tires on a green flag run after the halfway point, but rallied back after receiving the free pass under caution. However, he simply ran out of time due to the rain before his comeback through the field could be completed.

Gatorade Duel In-Car Audio

All the doors that closed one time have opened up again for Jeff Gordon as he scored the victory in the first Gatorade Duel at Daytona on Thursday afternoon. Gordon’s victory assures him of the 3rd starting spot in Sunday’s Daytona 500. It was Gordon’s first NASCAR series win in 16 months. He ran in the top-3 for nearly the entire 60-lap event. He took the lead for the first time on lap 37, and relinquished the top spot after pit stops with 10 laps to go. Gordon eventually worked his way back to the front with drafting help from Jimmie Johnson, and traded the lead several times with Tony Stewart in the final six laps. A strong drafting push by Joey Logano pushed Gordon back into the lead with two laps to go. Gordon held off Stewart to claim the victory.
