    Jeff Gordon was sliding all over the track those final 10 laps, doing everything he could to hold off five-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson.

    It was a thrilling display by two of the sport's biggest stars, who drove the high-banked Atlanta Motor Speedway like it was nothing more than a little dirt track.

    When Gordon held on at the end Tuesday, taking the checkered flag for his third win of the year and 85th of his career, there was little doubt he'll be making a serious run at his fifth Cup title.

    Ohhhh, we can't wait for these two to go at it again in the Chase for the championship.
