Jeff Gordon has a new car

| | Comments (0) |

Jeff Gordon made the biggest jump in the Chase standings, going from ninth place to fourth.
For Sunday's race at Dover International Speedway in Delaware, Gordon's team is bringing a new chassis to the track.
“This car has been ready for months, we were just saving it for the Chase,� Gordon's crew chief Steve Letarte said. “It’s a ‘sister’ to the car we won with at Chicago with a similar aero package – a package that has been successful for us this year.�
Gordon has four wins in 27 starts at Dover in his career. He is also the active leader in laps led at Dover with 2,197.
But his past three races at Dover have produced mediocre results. He hasn't finished in the top 10 in his past three races, including a 12th-place finish in June.
His latest win at Dover came in 2001, when he led 381 of 400 laps.
“We’d love to have another day like that,� Gordon said. “But I don’t mind leading only one lap – if it’s the last one.�
