Tough day for Gordon...Decent for Hendrick

Jeff Gordon may now have to start seriously worrying about is quest for another NASCAR Cup Championship. After being knocked out of the USG Sheetrock 400 and with the strong finnish of teammate and employee Jimmie Johnson, Gordon is now in the 15th position and 502 points back of Nextel Cup leader Johnson. Gordon is known for putting together a string of wins and top 5 finishes, but he is running out of time to climb back into the top 10 or be within 400 pts. A chase without Dale Earnhardt Jr (winner of Sundays race in Chicago) and Gordon may look strange but at this point, very possible. As for other Hendrick drivers Johnson finished 3rd, Brian Vickers 4th, rookie Kyle Busch 14th and Gordon 33rd. As for 2nd place overall Greg Biffle he finished 11th, but really who cares because Biffle is an idiot!
