Jeff Gordon can't capitalize on teammate's troubles at Texas
By Jared Turner - SceneDaily Staff Writer

Hendrick Motorsports driver Jeff Gordon finished 13th in Sunday's Dickies 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway.

FORT WORTH, Texas – A dejected Jeff Gordon didn’t attempt to hide his frustrations about an opportunity missed in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Needing Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson to finish poorly in order to have any shot at catching the defending three-time champion for the series title, that’s exactly what happened when Johnson was involved in a lap three crash and went behind the wall for extensive repairs before finishing 38th.
Gordon struggled throughout the Dickies 500 with a poor-handling race car, however, and finished 13th – closing the gap on Johnson but not by nearly as much he could have with a better performance.
Gordon entered the weekend 192 points behind the leader and shaved off 80 points, but he lost ground to teammate Mark Martin, who rallied from a slow start at Texas to finish fourth and move within 73 points of Johnson.
Gordon, whose lone Texas victory came his 17th start at the track back in April, wasn’t nearly as strong this time around at the 1.5-mile facility. Starting from the pole, the four-time champion led just 11 laps before fading and eventually falling out of the top 15.
“Just a total missed opportunity,” Gordon said. “All we could do throughout this whole Chase [For The Sprint Cup] is fight, fight, fight and when the 48 [of Johnson] put together the string of runs that they did, you’ve just got to keep pushing, and if they make a mistake or a problem happens you’ve got to capitalize on it. ... We just really didn’t do a very good job today.”
Gordon caught a big break when a caution flag waved for debris on lap 168 just as he was about to be lapped by Kyle Busch. Gordon continued to struggle, however, and spun less than 10 laps later while trying to avoid the wrecking cars of fellow Chase contenders Juan Pablo Montoya and Carl Edwards in Turn 2.
“I just saw two cars get together and head up the race track into the wall and I was trying to avoid them and the car came around and I just stood on the throttle to try to keep it out of the wall,” Gordon said. “Luckily I did, and it cost us some track position, but at least it kept us on the lead lap.”
Gordon avoided any damage in the spin and restarted 18th, last among lead-lap cars, and made minimal progress over the remaining 150-plus laps. To hear him tell it, his Texas triumph in April was little more than a fluke.
“[I had] the same issues I have every time I come to Texas except for the last time we had some miracle happen and we won the race,” Gordon said. “I don’t know. I just am not good here and I don’t know what to tell them to make it better. And the car definitely wasn’t doing what I wanted it to do."

Nov 8, 2009 at 10:30 PMHonestly Mr. Gordon, I love you but you dont run well enough to be this years champion. Win the next two races or get ready for next year. Jimmy has a bad race and where is the 24 team? Backing away from the field thats where! This is why the 48 team are champions every year. Now that the Jimmy Johnson crew is forced to race like it counts again the rest of the chase is over. Even the old hum de hum aw shucks Martin knows its over now! I just love Nascar and wanted someone to step up and make it an interesting chase. Mark Martins allready psyching himself out of it. But shucks it was a really good year for us!

Nov 9, 2009 at 10:45 AMI agree with SS396. I could not believe that the 24 could not capitalize in the RARE event of the 48 having bad luck! I could not believe it. What WAS the freaking problem? Gordo was on the pole and started out good...went downhill from there. I hated it. I am just not sure that Gordon/Letarte hasn't run it's course. I know dang well that Gordon is a #1 driver. He should have won that race yesterday.

Nov 9, 2009 at 6:04 PMJeffy will bounce back. I don't think it's Steve's fault. The engine Dept. just doesn't seem to give Jeff the same as JJ or Mark. I could be wrong, but that is where I seem to think the problem is. Adjustments aren't enough if you have a bad engine. Look at poor Kasey at the end of the race, blown engine and out of gas. Not the CC's fault.

Nov 9, 2009 at 8:05 PM#4 I sure agree and #7 I have to disagree with you. You win the pole lead the the next 11 laps and at the first pit stop you make a big swing in the car? That was the fatal mistake as from that point on the car was miserable. Ever pit stop was slow as well. At first I thought Jeff had problems with the COT, now it looks as if Steve has yet to figure it out. Time for a change, and there is one CC out there who has proven himself.

Nov 10, 2009 at 8:50 AM#10 Sundays race for Gordon was one of the worst for him after having the pole and seeing that Johnson had wrecked. Hendrick for once needs to go out of his group and hire Addington. McGrew is making improvements with Jr, but still those fuel mileage mistakes need to be addressed. I'm seeing the 88 car getting better during a race while the 24 is going backwards. It will take another Johnson wreck for either Mark or Jeff to make up enough ground. As it looks now, it's close but in reality I still think the chase is over.

Nov 10, 2009 at 11:57 AMAddington might be a good move for Gordon. Letarte doesn't seem to be working out. Something is missing there between the two of them. Gordon is too good of a driver to be so hit and miss on performance. And I seriously doubt the engine dept is giving Gordon the worst engines RMDUNN3. Take that conspiracy theory stuff out to the street.

Nov 10, 2009 at 12:17 PM#12 RAINIER, I totally agree with you. Letarte is holding Gordon back and a change is needed. We both know that Johnson isn't getting better engines or equipment then Jeff. Jimmie and Chad have been on the same page for 4 years now, and as you said Jeff is too good a driver to continually fall back as the race goes on. I'll admit Jimmie wins his 4th in a row.

Nov 10, 2009 at 12:19 PMWhat are you people complaining about? If you look at the points earned by the top drivers, you will see that Tony Stewart has scored the most (4925). Jeff is second with 4802, Jimmie is third with 4801, Mark is fourth with 4475 (450 fewer than Tony). It's not Steve Letarte's fault that Jeff is third - blame the Chase. Let's give credit where credit is due. Of course, Darian Grubb (Tony's crew chief) doesn't get the credit he should. Tony has earned 124 points more than Jimmie!!

Nov 10, 2009 at 12:23 PMI agree #11 & #12 but I don't buy the idea that those teams share all their info. No way is Knaus sharing his goodies and it's evident on the track and with the car performance. I really don't think Johnson is a better driver than Gordon. The other thing that occurs to me is just how bad is Gordon's back problem? I know he don't want to talk about it anymore, but he is bound to be worried about taking a hard hit. I really hate to see Johnson win it. I don't feel like he really deserves it. Everyone has kind of moved over and let him ride by because they didn't want to touch him. You see how he blamed the 77 so quickly on Sunday when actually the 00 nudged the 77 and then he got the 48. He thinks nobody should touch him.

Even Tony Stewart has said it no longer matters to look at total points because it completely changes the way teams approach the first 26 races. How many different points scenarios do we have to consider? How about we go back and score the old way when wins only recieved 5 more points than second place instead of 15? Where does it end?

Nov 10, 2009 at 6:06 PM#18 & #21 Granted the 24 made the chase for being consistent for most of the year. Still 3rd in points which most teams would love to be in that position. When it really counts is in the chase and the 48 team is so good at those last 10 races. Yes, they are good all year to make the chase, but they sure know how to step it up. Being a Gordon fan and knowing he will not be racing forever, I just wish Letarte could do a little more. I agree with RAINIER, no matter what format is used the 48 team can adjust to it and still come out on top. Why anyone would fire Addington is beyond belief.

Nov 10, 2009 at 9:45 PMReplacing Steve LeTarte would be a mistake. He led Gordon in one of the most dominant campaigns I've seen in NASCAR back in '07. They've been really close this year with what, 8 runner-up finishes? They needed some luck and some breaks to get more wins and it didn't happen. For instance, had the rain held out Gordon would've passed Logano in New Hampshire.
Report as AbuseBesides the lack of wins lately, the real issue is that The Chase has produced two "Lucky Dog Champions" in Kurt B and JJ. Both are great racers, but both "owe" Gordon a championship.
The playoff system makes things exciting to an extent, but the issue comes with how points are rewarded. In other sports teams are ranked on wins and losses, while in NASCAR a "loss" or winless streak doesn't equal an end to a championship bid. Plus, more often than not, The Chase creates an illusion of dominance. Was the 48 team really the best in 2007? Anyone who answers "yes" is clearly blind or in denial.

Addington is close but what if him and Gordon don't develop good chemistry? No one knew who Addington was when JJ Yely was driving the 18 car. In the stats, Johnson has the most wins, Martin has the most poles but Jeff was the most consitent of the three with the most top 5 and top 10s, go look it up for yourself. Under the old system Letart would have gotten Jeff a championship in 2007, Jeff also would have won the 2004 championship and right now would be 2nd in points ahead of Johnson and 93 behind Stewart in 1st.

Nov 12, 2009 at 9:24 PMI think Mr. Hendrick ought to take Ray Evernham up on his offer to "consult" with Steve and Jeff. Ray said the only way he would ever come back to the track and be a crew chief again was if he could be Jeff Gordon's crew chief. There is no excuse for Jeff running out of gas at Talladega. The last pit stop before Jeff ran out of fuel, Steve told him over the radio to save him some fuel, that Jeff was a lap and a half short. Jeff did save fuel. He questions Steve over the radio a few times about the fuel situation. When he told Steve he was out of fuel, Steve was clueless. Jeff still has it in him to win races and championships but I honestly don't see it happening with Steve. I'm so sick of hearing Steve say "It is what it is" when he talks about the condition of car. Jeff should have finished better at Talladega and at Texas.
