(AP) — In retrospect Jeff Gordon sounds as if he feels bad about trying to bang Jimmie Johnson out of the way at Martinsville Speedway last spring. Either that or he’s trying to buy some forgiveness before Sunday’s race. But the newer cars’ design means that a nudge — or more — in the tail no longer caused the lead car to wiggle or spin making passing more about the quality of the cars and less about the desperation of the trailing driver to grab the lead. “I really hit him hard on that last corner and I still didn’t move him up the track enough to make the pass” Gordon a seven-time winner at Martinsville said Friday.
