PICK OF THE WEEK - JEFF GORDON

Gordon going for eighth win at Darlington
DARLINGTON, S.C -- Darlington (S.C.) Raceway, site of this Saturday night's Dodge Challenger 500, was repaved following last year's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race won by Jeff Gordon.
While the bumps may be gone and the speeds are considerably faster, the four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion says there is no need to worry.
"The Darlington we all love is still here," Gordon said.
Gordon recently participated in a Goodyear tire test at the 1.366-mile egg-shaped oval, and he was impressed with the work done to the track.
"I'm really excited about the race this weekend," Gordon said. "The track is smooth and super fast, but it's the same Darlington. They did a fantastic job. The track is unreal, and I had a blast during the test. The bumps aren't there, and you're going much faster, but you run the same line you always have, and the track has the same characteristics."
And Gordon knows the quick line around the South Carolina track. In 27 starts at Darlington, he has seven wins including five Southern 500 victories, three pole positions, 15 top- five finishes (56 percent) and 18 top-10s (67 percent).
