Patrick Smith/Getty Images(INDIANAPOLIS) — Jeff Gordon’s swan song at Indianapolis Motor Speedway did not go as well as he would’ve liked.
Gordon, a native of Indiana who’s currently in his final season as a full-time Sprint Cup Series driver, finished 42 out of 43 Sunday in the Crown Royal Presents the Jeff Kyle 400 at the Brickyard. His No. 24 car had suffered damage in an accident 50 laps into the race, causing him to fall behind.
After the race, NASCAR.com reports, the four-time Cup champ said, “I feel like we showed up here with a car that had some speed in it. Then we didn’t qualify very good and that was disappointing.”
“Even though we weren’t good at the start we made up some spots and I thought we were going to be in a position to make some gains,” he added. “I don’t know if we had a winning car or top-five car but I was looking forward to see what we did have.”
Gordon has won the Brickyard 400 a record five times during his career.
