Phoenix: Post-Race Notes
JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 PEPSI MAX CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED FIFTH
ON HIS RUN:
“You know when Ryan Newman is in front of you on a restart it’s going to get interesting. I didn’t know if it was going to get interesting because me and him were side-by-side or because he got side-by-side with somebody else. We were able to capitalize on it. Our Pepsi MAX Chevrolet started the race really strong and we just didn’t like four tires. We needed two tires and we came in and got two on that last pit stop and unfortunately got caught under the caution under green a lap down. Great fight by this team. What a week it has been for this No. 24 team from that top-five in Daytona, the Pepsi MAX Test Drive 2 and then here we are with another top-five here at Phoenix. Great way to start the season.”
