Understand VERNACCIA DI SAN GIMIGNANO in 5 minutes | Tuscany's Secret White Wine

What an incredible venue to see Iraq back on the racetrack for the first time in two decades and what a lineup we have here today And the green flag has gone Bobby Labonte good start, but it maybe looks like Elliot's got to jump into one Backs out wanting to protect the nose of that black racecar It is Bill Elliott leading the field down the long straightaway on Pennsylvania Avenue How cool to be 70 years old and leading laps in Iraq? At this amazing track in DC He started out leading but he will not now as Castro Neves goes to the inside in turn two and Gordon's thinking about having a Look decides to back off for now 70 years old and holding off that baby behind him the 51 year old Yeah, Castro Neves now the 55 year old Jeff Gordon goes by Kurt Busch going with him He doesn't want to lose touch with Gordon. Let me tell you something about Bill Elliott That is not your average 70 year old He is so active he rides his motorcycle all the time talk to chase Elliot quite a bit at the track and like what's your Old man been up to he rides that bike all day every day Gordon wasted no time going after Castro Neves side-by-side for the lead Elio holds the outside now Kurt's got a decision to make which guys he going with. Oh Side draft we're not even at half distance Well, we are now and Jeff Gordon has gone from seventh to second and is the fastest car on track Kurt Busch though Finding some late pace But it will say that last lap times have dropped off dramatically So I think the driver is doing a good job to adjust their technique as another side-by-side move Gordon now on point I'll tell you what I like about the what Castro Neves is doing is when he sees Gordon look at he really sweeps out wide To try to get the exit, but Gordon gets it done Out of five once again to drive off just so good for Gordon Really neat part of the racetrack right here tight technical Kurt Busch with a great run right here might look to the inside of turn one No, and this is speaking of passing and speaking of Oh Kendall in the wall Set down in two Down in turn two. He's kept it running found reverse Now he better watch out for Elio Castro Neves on the brakes But Kurt Busch now looks committed to make this pass happen in turn one Running out of time two to go here Curtis so good out of that last corner. He's been chewing Elio up the last few laps manages to get the move done Now these two need to make sure they don't get in each other's way too too much or else Gordon is just gonna get away With it. Look at this Trying to get back underneath of me So tough you're looking in your mirror Each direction Trying to get your car around the corner, but also block the car behind you from getting by Well, that's the hardest part to getting into these corners You need to be out there and use the real estate getting into the corner But if that guy's looking to your inside you got to protect for Elio Castro Neves It's been a 20-year career on street racing in IndyCars where you have so much better visibility when you're following another car close in stock Cars really hard to pick out where those apex walls are We've seen a replay here Tony Kanan going a little bit long a lot of bit long in turn two or had a lot of rear brake in it Probably wheel hop to these cars. Well, you look at Gordon's hands there It'll be one to go at the line for Jeff Gordon looking like a master out there White flag waving for the guy that was he was really the king of road courses during his Reign in the cup series. He was so good at Sonoma Watkins Glen Before they had too many on the schedule Clint. This guy was really really one of the best at it Well, unfortunately, my career was in his career Jimmy Johnson, that's a man if I could have just raised to get somebody else that have been way easier I want to go back to this to race format with with Jeff Gordon if he wins this race mind you it's an inversion He's gonna go back and start tail back and it's gonna be harder to pass these guys a second time around to get this overall Finish to win the IROC race right here in front of America You get one point for position her position The lowest score after two rounds is going to be claimed the winner the champion is cash Looking for a last-lap pass into turn five Although peace symbol coming from Kirsten nice drive, brother And that gives Gordon enough breathing room into turn six one corner to go As he comes off It's gonna be a drag race Bush without enough pace and Gordon takes the first win the second win in IROC For Jeff Gordon as we see Kanan in the runoff once again Nine career wins on road courses in the Cup Series for Jeff Gordon I got on the four-time Trans Am champion The green flag is waving and it's Tony Kanan who's gonna lead into turn one Does the body try to get alongside Tommy Kendall can't make it happen side-by-side bill Elliott on the exit of one? Tommy Kendall staying all the way drivers left for Tony Kanan a little bit of herb and swerve There is Castro Neves looks to make a move deep on the brakes as Levani And Castro Neves going with them. Tommy Kendall trying to get dispatched, but he gets a great run off it, too But these guys have known each other like you say Townsend a long long time They've raced together plenty in lots of different categories. This has got to be fun for them at 51 years old They both won Indy 500s. Oh Dive Bob Gordon from a mile back. Nice job. You found a TK doing a great job keeping everything in line Not overshooting the brake zones. That was the issue We had in that first session the first race rather He's got a lot of rear brake in that car trying to get it stopped in these straightaways You can see the rear end dancing around underneath of him on the brakes Is there anything he can do driver wise technique wise in a stock car here clearly? They have you know, you break proportionate valve that they can adjust front to rear and that's what they're adjusting And off TK had to check up to not just run into the back of Gordon that's given Elio a shot on the outside Do you guys hear the crowd? Yeah going crazy for Jeff Gordon taking the lead now Kurt Busch is saying, okay I can't waste much time here four laps to go with the line. I've got to get after it Happy Jeff Gordon is a fast Jeff Gordon Glenn Brakes pal TK Tommy Kendall just avoiding Castroneves of what happened Elio Just maybe a little too early on the throttle. They're awfully early at the apex To spin out that's turn three. I don't see any damage to the car like you put the inside wall Yeah, I was looking to see that no damage on the inside. Well, there was a lot really close. Can he do it? Bring it home, baby Kurt Busch closed the gap by a half-second on that last lap, but he just doesn't have Meanwhile margin back of your screen. Tommy Kendall making a late lunge on Bobby Labonte in turn one and Kendall's not done yet Kendall is not done experience street course racer four-time Trans Am champion Same corner same problem for the Bonnie opens the door for Tommy Kendall. He's gonna pull it off Nicely done Jeff Gordon enters turn five Tommy Kendall getting awfully wide gives Lobani another chance as they come to turn five This one's not done yet For fourth place, but I think it is done for first From the back to the front p8 to p1 To take the sweep and the IROC championship in 2026 Jeff Gordon as a second IROC win to his CV He's gonna get the trophy, but they all won in my opinion Motorsports won the fans won that guy won Right, and it's probably no surprise in a race of champions really no contact, you know to win a championship You got to play the long game Always has and still does and it's really cool to see him and every hand working back together Let's see them working on his cars. Maybe he's a slick little boy
