2nd place finish for Jeff in the Pepsi 500

A good couple of races for Jeff saw him come runner-up again with his consecutive second place finish at the Auto Club Speedway on Sunday. The Fontana track has always been a good track over the years and this year was no different for the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsport team. This result keeps Jeff's championship hopes alive leaving him in fifth place overall and 105 points behind the current leader Jimmie Johnson. Fellow Hendrick Motorsports teammates Dale Earnhart Jr., Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin finished 25th, 1st and 4th.
