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.

Dodgeball At Daytona
The Budweiser Shootout was an exercise in dodging wrecks for Jeff Gordon en route to an adventurous 4th place finish. Gordon started the 75-lap event from the 28th– dead last– position due to a random draw. It didn’t take long for trouble to find him as he masterfully dodged the spinning cars of David Ragan, Scott Speed, and Joey Logano in turn three on the opening lap. When the green flag waved, he went from 21st to 4th by lap 20. He flirted with the lead in the final 50-lap segment as he pushed Dale Earnhardt Jr ahead with 30 to go, and then made a move to the top spot with 3 laps to go. However, he was shuffled back and had to dodge a final wreck on the white flag lap.
