Pit stop challenge win for Gordon.

Jeff Gordon's night at Bristol last Saturday may have ended with the four time Nextel Cup Champion having stern words with Scott Riggs over their last lap tussle for fourth place but at least his #24 Hendrick Motorsports pit crew gave him something to smile about.

Jeff Gordon's night at Bristol last Saturday may have ended with the four time Nextel Cup Champion having stern words with Scott Riggs over their last lap tussle for fourth place but at least his #24 Hendrick Motorsports pit crew gave him something to smile about.

Gordon's #24 crew claimed their second win of the season in the weekly Checkers/ Rally's Drive-Through Challenge competition by spending the least amount of time on pit road during the Sharpie 500.

"The DuPont crew did an amazing job on Saturday night," said Steve Letarte, crew chief of the DuPont Chevrolet. "They've been phenomenal all year, and I'm glad they are starting to get the recognition they deserve."

Gordon's #24 DuPont Chevrolet spent 313.006 seconds on pit lane, meaning his crew will receive the weekly $10,500 reward.

With twelve races remaining in the 36-race Nextel Cup schedule, the over-the-wall crews of Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson are tied for first place in the standings with four victories each. Tony Stewart's crew remains in second with three wins.
