JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 DRIVE TO END HUNGER CHEVROLET SS – QUALIFIED 8th

TALK ABOUT HOW YOUR QUALIFYING LAP WAS. WAS GOING OUT LATE IN THE SESSION AN ADVANTAGE OR DISADVANTAGE?

“I think sometimes here it could be a disadvantage because the wind sometimes kicks up in the afternoon. It’s just sort of a thing that happens at the beach and just in general. I felt some gusts of wind on the back straightaway so it could have been just when we went or just in the afternoon in general, but other guys were putting good laps up there so the track was capable of it. I thought we put a really nice solid lap out there. We made some huge gains since we arrived in really cutting that gap down to the guys at the top. I think we will be in the top 10. We can definitely win this Daytona 500 from there.”
