A track of hardly mediates mile of extension with a route of 500 turns that used the series Winston Cup.For east Gordon triumph is nº 63 of its race, but as soon as the second of this year. The dominion of Gordon was forceful. It led 311 of the 500 returns of the test. “When there was little traffic and the car breathed fresh air, this behaved like a space rocket”, said Gordon. “It is wonderful to return again to the circle of the victory.”The prote'ge' and coequiper of Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, arrived second after to have taken 26º. Johnson also confused early losing numerous positions. Whatsoever, Jimmie recovered skillfully to obtain a brilliant one-two of Hendrick Motorsports.The race in Martinsville was typical from this type of circuit. Blows, pushes and I touch to every minute, which caused 15 yellow flags that monopolized 117 of the 500 turns.As it did the past in month of April in this same track, Gordon started from pole, dominated almost all the race and on the end his to walk he was more and more forceful. The pilot of the Chevrolet Montecar it #24 shows five victories in this track, and nobody managed to in the last overthrow it of the leadership 205 turns.After dissapointing results in the month of July and August, where their better arrivals were hardly in front of 19º put, Gordon concluded by fifth consecutive time within best the five, and it stays sixth in the championship of pilots.Other two Chevrolet, Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr, arrived third and quarter marking a clear dominion of the mark recently consecrated champion, whom in addition it classified to other two cars between the ten first. The best Dodge was the one of Ryan Newman (5º), whereas best Ford was the one from Jeff Burton (10º).Earnhardt was the unique one that could have overthrown to Gordon. Of I throw in return 405 Junior stayed second pressing to Gordon strongly, nevertheless the efforts of Dale collapsed when this it entered to pits and their new tires were a failure. “With those tires never it was going to gain the race”, said Tony Eury. “The tires were very bad, and each return made worse more and more, it is a pain”, it ended up saying the group leader of Junior.The leader of the championship, Matt Kenseth, arrived 13º with his Ford Taurus. Matt, that arrived at this track with 267 points of advantage, returned to give advantage to its direct rival, Kevin Harvick, that after culminating seventh trimmed 27 points to him. “I knew that this circuit was going to be difficult for us”, Kenseth said. “In two of last the four tracks that are ahead we have won, so I am very hopeful”, Kenseth thought.Although the declarations of Kenseth are real, the competitiveness of its Taurus is handicapped drastically in the last races, and with four races ahead Harvick, Earnhardt Jr and especially Newman, they shine more solid than the pilot of Roush Racing.
