Darlington, SC (Sports Network) - Jeff Gordon made it three of the last four
capturing the rain-delayed Dodge Avenger 500 from the Darlington Raceway. The
No.24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet crossed the finish line 0.978 seconds
ahead of Denny Hamlin.
said Gordon. "I've never
seen gauges look like that and the engine make it to the end, that's a
testament to Hendrick Motorsports and their engine department."
Johnson, Newman and Edwards completed the top-five.
The win gives Gordon a 231-point edge over Johnson as the series takes a break
for the NASCAR All-Star Challenge next week at the Lowe's Motor Speedway.
