2012 Martinsville2 Jeff Gordon On Grid For QualifyingPOCONO, Pa. (July 29, 2013) – For defending race winner Jeff Gordon, the party in the Poconos may begin race morning. Will the celebration continue well past that afternoon’s GoBowling.com 400 at Pocono Raceway?
Gordon, who will celebrate his 42nd birthday on Sunday, will make his 42nd start at the 2.5-mile track this weekend. His six victories and 965 laps led are tops at “The Tricky Triangle” while he also has two poles, 18 top-fives and 28 top-10’s in his previous 41 starts at the Pennsylvania track.
“This is a very challenging track, but I love racing here,” said Gordon, driver of the No. 24 Drive To End Hunger Chevrolet. “In June, we had a fast race car but we struggled early in the run.
“We need to find some more speed early in the run while also having a fast car over the long runs.”
