Push Grip Turn reports that Gordon looks like a sure bet this Vegas weekend

Feb. 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Push Grip Turn and Carol Baumhardt reports that Jeff Gordon has reeled off two consecutive bad finishes to start the 2010 season in 22nd place, a strange occurrence for the four-time series champion.
Push Grip Turn says that there are a few good reasons for optimism.
Push Grip Turn says the first one is a bad start has never turned into a bad finish. Gordon's worse points position after two races was 43rd in 1996. He finished the year as the championship runner-up. In 2000, he was also 22nd in the points after two events. He ended the year ninth in the points.
Push Grip Turn says the second is that Gordon's finishes are not exactly indicative of his in-race performance.
At Daytona, where he finished 26th, Gordon had a solid Driver Rating of 88.2, an average running position of 13.8, two laps led and four fastest laps run.
Push Grip Turn found that at Auto Club Speedway, Gordon finished 20th. His average running position that race, though, was 11.3. Additionally, he had a Driver Rating of 86.9, laps in the top 15 percentage of 73.6 percent and he had 20 fastest laps run.
Push Grip Turn says that Gordon's Closer number improved dramatically at Auto Club Speedway, as he gained eight positions the final 25 laps. But he did drop off overall in the second half of the race. At the race's midpoint, Gordon ran in ninth-place. He finished 20th.
Combined, Gordon has lost 12 positions in the final 10 percent of races, which ranks fourth-worst.
