3rd COT nextel race

Well the 3rd "Car of Tomorrow" (COT) race of the season was run in Phoenix on Saturday night and it looks like they fixed the burning foam issue they had with some earlier races. Jeff Gordon and tony Stewart battled hard near the end of the race for 1st place while a lapped Martin Truex Jr. was in the fight as well. Jeff Gordon
eventually won and tied Dale Earnhardt's record of 76 wins. At the end of the race Jeff Gordon did a victory lap with the #3 flag.
There was a crash near the end of the race as well as Dale Jr. and Martin Truex were in the pits at the time and went a lap down to the leader Jeff Gordon.
