In a difficult year, Jeff Gordon
needed this one.
Gordon held off Tony Stewart in a three-lap
dash to win Sunday at Martinsville Speedway, his first victory
since May 1. And though he's not a factor in the Chase for
the Championship, it was a step in the right direction for
a team with a 26-year-old crew chief who has been on the job
only six weeks since the departure of Robbie Loomis.
Stewart, meanwhile, dominated early and
took a 15-point lead over third-place finisher Jimmie Johnson
in the Chase. The yellow flag came out a track-record 19 times,
and 113 laps were run under caution. Gordon, a four-time champion,
didn't qualify for the 10-race playoff and has finished in
the top 10 just three times in 14 races.
