OutlawQuadrnt Messages 6,308 Washington State Messages OutlawQuadrant May 28, 2012 #4,561 Stormtrooper217 Not a good strategy for Jeff Gordon. I mean, it did allow him to restart in the front but with all of the other drivers running fresher tires he is little challenge for the drivers behind him to make a move against him. Click to expand... He's holding onto 4th atm. If he stays in the Top 10, then it was a good move. And Edwards sub-par year continues.

The Bman That's just one of my names. Premium Messages 5,897 Pittsburgh, PA Messages The_Bman24 May 28, 2012 #4,563 I take back what I said. Jeff made a great move. So long as he can preserve his tires this can be a very effective strategy. Now that I said this his tires will blow.

GTPorsche Messages 21,261 United States May 28, 2012 #4,564 Jeff's strategy worked out pretty good with the timing of that caution.
MustangManiac TeamJaguarUSA Premium Messages 2,121 Chicago Messages mustang622006 May 28, 2012 #4,565 Of course, I step out for a smoke and something happens! Good thing it is on the DVR.

MustangManiac TeamJaguarUSA Premium Messages 2,121 Chicago Messages mustang622006 May 28, 2012 #4,569 I think the point is if his strategy had been sound he would not have found himself a lap down in the first place.

Patrick MVP Premium Messages 6,796 California May 28, 2012 #4,571 Something wrong with Ambrose's car.
The Bman That's just one of my names. Premium Messages 5,897 Pittsburgh, PA Messages The_Bman24 May 28, 2012 #4,572 Problem with Ambrose's suspension.
GTPorsche Messages 21,261 United States May 28, 2012 #4,573 Bad luck for Ambrose. Very strong performance from him up to this point.
The Bman That's just one of my names. Premium Messages 5,897 Pittsburgh, PA Messages The_Bman24 May 28, 2012 #4,574 Come on Big Daddy. You can make a move. EDIT: Another pointless caution. Last edited: May 28, 2012

The Bman That's just one of my names. Premium Messages 5,897 Pittsburgh, PA Messages The_Bman24 May 28, 2012 #4,585 Here come the last pit stops. Anyone thinking of a dark horse right now?
MustangManiac TeamJaguarUSA Premium Messages 2,121 Chicago Messages mustang622006 May 28, 2012 #4,586 Isn't there a rule against leaving your pit box with equipment? edit That answers that, a stop & go!
LMSCorvetteGT2 Messages 22,551 Arizona Messages HamiltonMP427 May 28, 2012 #4,587 All I want is a Jr win. Not seeing a dark horse, and looks like JJ is in trouble.
The Bman That's just one of my names. Premium Messages 5,897 Pittsburgh, PA Messages The_Bman24 May 28, 2012 #4,588 48 with a penalty.
Doth1s Premium Messages 843 North Carolina Messages Doth1s Messages D34D MERC May 28, 2012 #4,589 That shouldn't be a penalty. He just wanted to take the fuel man with him in case he needed a top off on track...
