  • NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Teleconference with Vallejo Native Jeff Gordon, Driver of the No
    NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Teleconference with Vallejo native Jeff Gordon, driver of the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet (Note Vallejo reference on Page 7) Four-Time NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Champion Jeff Gordon recently started his 13th year in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series with a win in the Daytona 500. Gordon who has been racing for Hendrick Motorsports since his rookie year has visited Victory Lane three times at the historical Daytona International Speedway. Below is a transcript of the teleconference: With the series heading to Fontana and then Las Vegas, can you tell us a little bit about the importance of those races for you, and the fact that you tested at both tracks. What did you learn from the tests in preparation for the races? I am excited about getting to the non-restrictor plate tracks, it's a great start for us and with the momentum that we are carrying from Daytona, we hope that we can keep that going to California, through our off weekend and into Las Vegas. Seeing how we did test at those tracks, we certainly feel like we learned a lot of information that should help us come back. Looking forward also to the new schedule as far as impounding the cars, and when and how we are going to get into this race and get it all going. It should be more of an indication, in my opinion, as to who we are going to be battling going in to the championship because of us getting away from the restrictor plate tracks.
