Subway Fresh Fit 500 Results- NASCAR Nextel Cup Series

On Saturday, the NASCAR Nextel Cup series paid a visit to the Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona for the Subway Fresh Fit 500. For those of you who missed it, we have all the results right here.

Jeff Gordon captured his first win of the season, taking advantage of a timely pit stop and holding off a late push by Tony Stewart. The win tied Gordon with the legendary Dale Earnhardt for career wins, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the first to congratulate Gordon in victory lane.

And while Gordon’s was history in the making, it was also rater unpopular with a certain segment of the fans. While Gordon was pausing after the win to grab a No. 3 flag in order to pay tribute to Earnhardt Sr., a number of fans were busy throwing beer cans onto the track in protest. But despite their complaining, Gordon also added to his points total and is now in first with 1,326 points.
