I realize that NASCAR Pole
Position runs are not normally
newsworthy, and I'm not a huge
Gordon fan,(although i can
tolerate him alot better
nowadays) but this one should
be of historical consideration
and significance.Jeff Gordon
won the historical first
official pole position in
NASCAR's new 'Car Of
Tomorrow'.Jeff pushed his
Chevrolet Impala to the top
starting spot at Bristol Motor
Speedway on Friday,by running
125.453 mph lap to win his
fifth career pole at the half
mile track.Although he was
critical of the car during its
developmental stage, Jeff
could be heard after his
qualifying run saying'Did I
mention how much I love the
Car of Tomorrow?''I've said
the whole time, whether I like
the car or not, we are going
to do our best to be
competitive. I don't care what
the car is.'Must have had
'Some Kind of Monster' under
the hood...lol.The Car Of
Tomorrow was seven years in
the making. NASCAR hopes it
will improve safety, reduce
team costs and improve the
competition.Bristol is the
first of the 16 races that
will use the COT this season.
It's scheduled to be phased in
through 2009, but NASCAR hopes
teams will ask to use the car
full-time next
year.-(NASCAR-SPEED Channel
