J.G. HANGS IN THERE: Even though Jeff Gordon surrendered the late lead at Charlotte, his fourth place finish moved him from fifth to third in the standings, now 45 points out of 2nd place Mark Martin and 135 out of the lead. Gordon is almost as good as Johnson at Martinsville, and can challenge for the win Sunday. Martin’s 17th cost him 78 points on the lead.
