You up for a bet this week? :D
 
If one North Carolina Speedway race had to be taken off the schedule, Jeff Gordon is glad it's the fall date.
Gordon comes into the weekend with four wins, two poles, eight top-fives and 10 top-10s in 22 career starts at The Rock. Three of the wins, both poles and six of the top-10s have come in the late-winter race. In addition, of the 945 laps he has led there, 730 have come in February.

In NASCAR's schedule realignment, Darlington lost its Labor Day weekend race to California Speedway but got Rockingham's November date.

"I've always enjoyed racing here and I hate to see one of the events taken off the schedule," said Gordon, a four-time Winston Cup champion. "But I also understand the decision to move the race to a different market in an effort to grow the sport.

"While I enjoy racing here because you can run low, middle or high through the corners, it can be frustrating as well. Tires fall off quickly, which could mean a long day if your car isn't handling just right. You can also have a frustrating day with a good car."

That's exactly what happened to him last November.

Gordon battled back to regain a lap lost early in the race, then lost several laps when a caution flag came out just after he completed a green-flag pit stop. Gordon made up one of those laps before the same set of circumstances hit again and he wound up 22nd, three laps behind winner Bill Elliott.

"We had a good car, we just couldn't catch a break," Gordon said.
