Jeff Gordon didn't just write a new chapter on how to win at Talladega on Sunday. He rewrote the whole darn book.
NASCAR's fastest and longest track has long been known as a place where horsepower and driver aggressiveness are the keys to success and victory.
But in Sunday's UAW-Ford 500, Gordon acted in the same fashion as he would if he was heading to the beach: he slowly tiptoed toward the edge, tentatively tested things to make sure he would swim rather than sink, and then drove in full-tilt when it mattered the most.
In so doing, Gordon reaffirmed the old adage that you only need to lead one lap-the final lap-of a Cup race to take the checkered flag.
Instead of relying upon superior horsepower and brute force, muscling the steering wheel back and forth through traffic-occasionally resorting to pushing someone out of the way if it warranted-Gordon won Sunday's race with something you rarely see on the Cup level: sheer finesse.
Using a combination of Patience, pacing and persistence, Gordon earned his 80th career Cup win.
