Good Rookie Drivers

Jimmie Gordon was watching Jake Altmayer's interview, and laughed when Altamayer said he was satisfied with a 21st place qualification.

"No matter how young or old you are, you should never be satisfied with a qualification under 15th. I expect to qualify at least 15th, if I don't, it goes down as a loss in my books," Gordon said.

"This guy isn't even 18, he's 20. Many people his age and younger average around a 10th to 15th place qualification. At his age, he should be aiming for 15th and above, nothing less." Gordon concludes.

Gordon is new to the sport as well, and at 18 years old, he definitely comes out with good qualification efforts. He hopes in 3 or 4 years he will be a real contender, but for now, he is satisfied with a top 12 qualification effort, and finishing above where he started. The only issues he has with that are constant driver errors, which usually cost him big time in the final standings.

"Setups are everything," Gordon says, "any time you are able to get 6 full stints of practice, you don't even need tobe a great driver to salvage a good finish."
