Jeff finishes 25th in Phoenix

On Saturday April 18th in the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway Jeff only managed a 25th place finish after running much of the race in the top 10. It was not until a bad pit stop late in the race that put Jeff well down in the points finishing 25th. Jeff's points lead has now been reduced to 85 points over teammate Jimmie Johnson. Fellow Hendrick Motorsports teammates Dale Earnhart Jr., Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin finished 31st, 4th and 1st.
