NASCAR Cup Series

JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 AARP MEMBER ADVANTAGES CHEVROLET SS – Race Winner - WE’VE NEVER SEEN YOU CELEBRATE LIKE THAT! “We’re going to Homestead!”

Jeff Gordon has punched his ticket for the Championship Race at Homestead-Miami Speedway with a win at the "Virginia paperclip", Martinsville Speedway on Sunday.

Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) drivers Denny Hamlin (third) and Kyle Busch (fifth) earned top-five finishes for Toyota in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Martinsville Speedway that was won by Jeff Gordon.

JOEY LOGANO – No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion – ARE YOU SURPRISED? “Yeah. I think what happened at Kansas is a completely different deal. We were racing for the win and he blocks you a few times and then we raced hard and he blocked me the last time and we spun out."

MATT KENSETH, No. 20 Dollar General Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - What is your reaction to what happened? “Well it’s a really disappointing day. I thought we were going to have a shot at the win there and they were jacking up the restart real bad to let each other in as teammates which is fine and I probably went in there and I got on the other side of Joey (Logano) and I was going to try to race him for the win and Brad (Keselowski) wiped me out for some reason."
