JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 AXALTA CHEVROLET SS – 3RD IN STANDINGS

(ON THE CHALLENGES OF LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY.): "We tested earlier this year at Nashville (Tenn.), and Las Vegas is a little more high banked compared to Nashville. And Las Vegas is extremely rough going into Turn 1.

"The challenges we will face at Vegas are the same challenges we have faced in the past. We're up against the loads (of the car) in general at speed but also trying to get over these bumps, and that's very, very challenging. You can run up high (to avoid bumps in Turn 1), but even then usually your left-side tires are on them.”
