Jeff Gordon is Back

(Filed under: Race Recap)

Though Tony Stewart dominated all day long, it was Jeff Gordon with the win at Martinsville yesterday. It's been 23 races since Gordon's last win, making this number 4 for the year. That sounds pretty good for most drivers, but it's been a pretty abysmal year for Gordon since he didn't make it into the chase.

All I can say is at least it wasn't Tony Stewart. That guy seems unstoppable every race. If he doesn't win, he's at least up there with a shot at it. This year's championship is Tony's to lose.

And the Roush cars certainly helped him with that today. Kurt Busch finished sixth and Matt Kenseth 12th for the best Roush finishes, though every team had problems. Kenseth and Carl Edwards spun around a few times. Busch spun Michael Waltrip and was penalized a lap for it. Greg Biffle went down a lap. Mark Martin struggled all day after starting at the back of the pack and it finally came to an end when his brakes caught on fire.

It looks like Jimmie Johnson is the only one who has anything for Stewart.
