As a four-time NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series champion, Jeff Gordon has little trouble getting the ear of NASCAR.
And after a runner-up finish
behind winner Martin Truex, Jr. Sunday at Sonoma Raceway, Gordon had a
couple of suggestions for the sanctioning body on possible modifications to its
Sprint Cup Series road course rules.
"We don't have the body
in the right position for the road courses to turn right,” said Gordon. “When
we go to Watkins Glen, as fast as those right handers are, we're going to have
some issues. There's nothing to lean on. You have plenty of grip on the left
(turns), because the body still has a little bit of rake… nice side force on
the right side of the car for those left turns. But on the right turns, the
cars are just so out of control.
“Other than that, I love the
Gen-6 car everywhere we go,” he
said. “It's got good grip and drives well and looks great. I think other than
those fast right handers, it was the same here (at Sonoma) today."
