Jeff Gordon says it doesn't look good for Junior

For Jeff Gordon it's all about the wins at this point in the season. The more wins he can collect, the bigger his lead will be in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series standings when the Chase starts.
But wins are not easy to come by these days for Gordon. They are even more difficult for Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt Jr. is 13th in the Cup standings, 158 points behind Kurt Busch for the 12th and final spot in the Chase.
But the way Busch and Ryan Newman, his teammate at Penske Racing, have been running lately, Gordon isn't sure a win or two would help Earnhardt Jr. that much in his Chase hopes.
"You have to race well for 26 races. They have had a rough year," Gordon said about Earnhardt Jr.'s team. "They have had some motor issues, some not good finishes. Now they are having good finishes and the No. 2 (Busch) and the No. 12 (Newman) are right there. You don't want to wish bad luck on anybody, but right now, the way the No. 2 and the No. 12 are running, you don't think he is going to be able to get in, even if he is winning races."
