Key moments in Sunday's Toyota Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway, Sonoma, Calif.:
Robby Gordon led 48 of the first 69 laps in Sunday’s race, but he had to make his final pit stop on Lap 74 and never made it back to the front, finishing 16th and going home disappointed and confused.
Before Sunday, Donnie Wingo’s last trip to victory lane as crew chief came in 1993 with Geoffrey Bodine, so Sunday’s Toyota Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway was a big day for him, too.
Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart were battling side by side as the laps wound down in Sunday’s race, and if fuel mileage had played out differently that could have been the battle for the lead.
Greg Biffle finished fifth without much notice Sunday, thanks in large part to a strategy that began from the very first lap.
Carl Edwards finished 18th after running out of gas a little more than two laps from the finish.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. felt like he had a top-five car in Sunday’s race, but he wound up 13th because pit strategy didn’t quite fall his way.
Joe Gibbs Racing president J.D. Gibbs said Sunday that a published report the team has a “done deal” to switch to Toyota in 2008 is “just not true.”
