NASCAR: Breaking Down Jeff Gordon’s Final Run

Race 5 – Darlington

The success at Bristol had many thinking that Gordon would get his first top-10 of the NASCAR season at Darlington. Unfortunately, it did not work out that way and he finished 14th.

The top-15 finish marked the fourth time that he was able to do that in his five races back in NASCAR. Despite not breaking into the top-10 Gordon seemed pleased with his performance given what he was dealing with inside of the car that night in Darlington.

Heading into the race some fans were hopeful that Gordon would be able to run a special scheme to pay homage to his own No. 24 but that was not the case as Earnhardt already had a special scheme in place.
