JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 DRIVE TO END HUNGER CHEVROLET SS – QUALIFIED 27TH

WHAT DOES STARTING THIS DEEP IN THE FIELD DO FOR YOU GUYS?

“It just disappoints us. We know our car is much better than this. I think these are about as challenging conditions as you can have when you have a really hot day like this. The sun goes down and it’s a total guessing game and we completely guessed wrong. We just missed the set-up. The car has plenty of speed in it. I’m not concerned about the race. I know that we can work our way through there and be really strong in the race, but we just have to get the balance right at the start of the race and make sure that we are there at the end. It’s just more challenging to do that from where we are going to be starting.”
