Jeff Gordon stepped away from his on-track duties earlier today [Tuesday, Sept 16th] to visit Capitol Hill. Gordon met with key lawmakers, including the House of Representatives North Carolina delegation, to urge them to convince Rick Hendrick to change crew chiefs for the 24 car. Current crew chief, Steve Latarte, served a vital role in Hendrick Motorsports as a floor sweeper until promoted as the DuPont drivers crew chief. Jeff Gordon feels this would be best for the organization and the U.S. economic crisis if there was a change now. (PRPlus PR)(9-17-2008)
i hope he cleaned the floors better then he crew chiefs
they need a driver with talent who can just drive the cot.
They were way a head on the the COT when it first hit the tracks. I think he needs a new crew chief.

Its been well discussed, Gordon hates loose racecars, he likes them set up a little on the tight side, and it seems that to be fast with this new car, you can't be on the tight side.
So he'll struggle until something changes.
