Jeff Gordon is headed to the Irish hills of Michigan to race this weekend fresh off his victory at Pocono Raceway, his second win for the season and his 84th win, tying Hall of Fame inductee Darrell Waltrip and Hall of Famer Bobby Allison.
Entering Michigan on Sunday though it’s nothing but surprises when it comes to the No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet team of the five-time and defending Sprint Cup Series champions.
As I was watching this weekend’s race at Pocono Raceway, during one of the caution flag laps I noticed Dale Earnhardt Jr. holding something up on his steering wheel.
In Charlotte, Greg Biffle’s driver cooling system failed. It didn’t fail mid race. It failed from the pace laps. Instead of blowing cooler air, it was blowing straight hot air.
It was Gordon's 84th career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win, which places him in a tie on the all time wins list with Hall Fame inductee, Bobby Allison, and 2012 class nominee, Darrell Waltrip.
