Jeff Gordon Leads His Last “500”

Well now… That’s an interesting thing. Jeff Gordon, who has announced his retirement following this season, has landed the pole for his final Daytona 500. Despite the weird qualifying with the cat and mouse wait and see and go style Gordon and the #24 rolled on with Johnson in the #48 to go for spots 1 and 2 for the opening points race of the season.
The “500” has seen interesting starts in recent years. Gordon announces retirement and is on pole for 2015. In 2014 the #3 is back with Austin Dillon and he grabs the pole. In 2013 Danica Patrick takes the pole for her first full time season. Interesting.
The 2015 season is officially one week away but we still have the Budweiser Duels Thursday evening to set the rest of the field. Let’s go!
