#24-Jeff Gordon is 27 points out of the lead heading into Texas: HOW CLOSE DO YOU NEED TO BE TO GET [KENSETH & JOHNSON] TO TALK ABOUT YOU BEING A VERY CLOSE CONTENDER GOING INTO PHOENIX OR GOING INTO HOMESTEAD? Gordon: ‘Im probably more thinking about going into Homestead of what those points need to be; its hard to make up more than 10 points on either one of those guys in a single race. So, I would think that youd need to be within 10 or 12 points at Homestead. I do know we had a great test at Homestead. I felt like we have a very fast race car and I would love to be in that position at Homestead because I do think we could put some pressure on them. Those guys make very few mistakes. Were not expecting anything out of them this week, next week, or the week after that. Again, all were doing is trying to do our job the best that we can. But it would be pretty exciting for our race team to go into Homestead and be maybe 10 or 12 points out. That would be pretty exciting.”(Chevy PR)
