Jeff Gordon denied Brad Keselowski's shot at a perfect weekend with a late run in the final practice Saturday at New Hampshire that put him at the top of the chart at 135.357 mph. Keselowski had the fastest practice speed on Friday, won the pole, and topped the first practice chart on Saturday. He swept the Cup and Nationwide races at New Hampshire in July. He can also become the first Ford driver to win three straight Cup races since Rusty Wallace in June 1994. Chase drivers took the top seven spots: Kevin Harvick was third, followed by Joey Logano, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth.
