Jeff Gordon was a confident man on Friday. The confidence was rewarded on Sunday. A man who admits he isn't the best on restarts had one hell of a restart with 17 laps to go in the Brickyard 400 and powered past teammate Kasey Kahne for the lead and the eventual win in the first turn. - Nick Bromberg, From the Marbles
