A bad day at the office for Jeff!

Jeff finished 37th in the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at the Watkins Glen International on Monday. Not once but twice was Jeff involved in wrecks, the first was a ding early on when David Stremme lost control and went off course. The second came later on in the race when Jeff was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sam Hornish Jr. wrecked and presented the N0. 24 Chevy with a road block at high-speed, the inevitable crash sent Jeff to the pits for the rest of the day. He still remains 3rd overall in the standings but drops to 342 point behind Tony Stewart.  Fellow Hendrick Motorsports teammates Dale Earnhart Jr., Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin finished 39th, 13th and 23rd.
