JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 AXALTA CHEVROLET SS – CURRENTLY 17TH

TOUGH LUCK ON THAT FIRST PIT STOP. NOW THAT YOU ARE WORKING YOUR WAY BACK UP THROUGH THE PACK HOW IS THE CAR HANDLING?

“Yeah that first incident was on us. It is our responsibility to get out of the box clean. With so many cars there on the lead lap with the competition caution we just made a little mistake there. That definitely got us behind, but man what a race car. I’m having so much fun out there. Not that I want to come from the back, but it sure is fun when you have a race car like what we have right now with our Axalta Chevy SS. We are just going to keep tuning on it. Obviously this rain is going to change a lot of things, wash that rubber away and hopefully takes off as good as it did at the beginning of the race.”
