It's deja victory for Gordon Jeff Gordon and his wife, Brooke, tally up the season's victories. Jeff Gordon has apparently run out of new ways to win Winston Cup races. Gordon and his Hendrick Motorsports team repeated themselves Sunday, using a formula that proved successful two weeks ago at Michigan to win the CMT 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway.
Fans recognize the pattern.
First, Gordon fades back while Mark Martin dominates. Gordon pulls away over the final laps and goes to Victory Lane, while his rivals return to the garage area muttering to themselves. It happened that way again Sunday, giving Martin particular reason to grumble. Martin led 193 laps, but it was his contact with Rich Bickle that brought out a caution and gave Gordon and his crew a chance to work magic. Once the familiar game played out, Martin had finished second to Gordon for the fourth time in six races.
