Gordon and Earnhardt Jr speak: After finishing his qualifying run, #31-Robby Gordon climbed from his car, walked right over to #8-Dale Earnhardt Jr. and struck up a conversation. “I asked him if he was OK with me starting behind him,” said Gordon, who was third after his run, but got bumped down to 11th. Gordon said his feud with Earnhardt Jr. at Bristol is over. “It’s racing,” Gordon said. “We don’t have any grudges. One thing that’s nice about Winston Cup is we have 36 weekends to get at it. Texas was rough for us, but we’re happy to be starting where we’re at.”(News and Advance)(4-13-2002)
