Atlanta Motor Speedway - Saturday(Comments RSS)
Got here bright and early this morning, well before the crowd started pouring in. NASCAR fans by the tens of thousands will be here by mid morning.
Jeff Gordon hopes a turnaround that started at Atlanta Motor Speedway last October takes another step forward in the Golden Corral 500.
Carl Edwards, meanwhile, hopes to somehow fashion a repeat of his weekend at the 1.54-mile oval a year ago. It was a career-changing weekend in which Edwards won his first Busch Series and first Nextel Cup Series races in a span of about 24 hours.
Edwards' performance was shocking, even more so than Gordon's struggles at 1.5- and 2-mile tracks most of last season. But a test at the track last October sparked something in the No. 24 team. Gordon finished a so-so 13th at California Speedway last month, but a fifth-place run at Las Vegas a week ago has him geared up for Atlanta.
