 AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Coming off only the second last-place finish of his career, Jeff Gordon remains confident that his season is right on track.
"It's not that our team's in trouble, it's not that our race cars haven't been good," the four-time NASCAR champion said after qualifying 11th for Saturday night's Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway.
Ryan Newman will start from the pole Saturday, with Elliott Sadler on the outside of the front row and Carl Edwards and Mark Martin right behind. Two-time reigning Cup champion Jimmie Johnson will start seventh.
