Brad Keselowski was standing by as a possible relief driver for the four-time champion, but his services weren’t needed. --(Cont'd From Front Page)-- Though he surrendered the third position to Greg Biffle off the final corner, Gordon was pleased with the run that improved his position in the championship standings to sixth, 143 points behind Johnson. “I guess I need to be sick more often,” Gordon said after the race. “Yeah, that was a good run and a good car. I know if I had been healthy, I would have gotten more out of it. “I’m going to be pretty sore tomorrow. I’m just aching all over, but, hey, when you’ve got a car and a team that’s as good as this one, you can’t let somebody else get in there and drive it.”
