Robby Gordon’s hard fought second place finish in the Toyota Save Mart 350 was a highlight of the first road course race of 2010. R Gordon is usually good at this place. He had nothing for race winner Jimmie Johnson at the end. But, other than Marco Ambrose, nobody could handle Johnson.
Ambrose’s fuel saving decision to shut his car down during a late caution came a gutser for him. When it wouldn’t re-fire, he lost seven spots. Marcos had a firm grip on his first win, and blew it. He finished sixth. Disappointed.
Red Bull’s Mattias Ekstrom showed why Audi likes him. Ekstrom was quick. He led laps. And Jeff Gordon took him out.
In fact Jeff was the other Gordon this day, incurring wrath often saved for Robby. By loose count, J Gordon ruined the days of Ekstrom, Elliott Sadler, Martin Truex Jr and Clint Bowyer.
Boris Said was a victim of the #24 too. In fact, Boris was up front repeatedly and just as often moved out, punted and squeezed off the racing surface. It was amazing to watch him recover. His eighth place result in the Air Guard/gtwgps.com Ford was a victory of talent and sense.
