Nine races remain after this afternoon’s tilt on the track and Jeff Gordon is looking to get himself back into the top of the standings. After leading mostly all of the season, Gordon was passed up by Brad Keselowski, who will be starting from the 25th position this afternoon. Gordon will be starting from the eighth position with Kyle Busch earning the top pole position for the race.
