Gordon going for three in a row

Jeff Gordon has a little bit of winning streak in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. He won the past two races and will have a chance to make it three in a row at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday night.
Gordon won the Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway in NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow two weeks ago. He followed with a win at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, one of two tracks that requires Cup teams to use restrictor-plate engines, on Sunday.
Gordon has two career Cup wins at Richmond, but this will be the first time any of the Cup teams will use the Car of Tomorrow in a race at Richmond.
“We tested here a couple weeks ago with the new Impala SS and I was pleased with the results,” said Gordon, driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. “But we need to be sure to carry that over to this weekend.”
