Hendrick and Roush-Fenway drivers sweep top five places in final Martinsville practice.

Less than 24 hours after claiming his sixth career pole position at the half-mile Martinsville Speedway Jeff Gordon was back atop the timing sheets as he led Saturday's final Happy Hour practice session at the paperclip shaped oval.

Gordon's best lap of 19.840-seconds in his #24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet beat Jamie McMurray's #26 Roush-Fenway Racing Ford by four hundredths of a second as once again the entire 43-car Sprint Cup field was separated by just half a second.

Gordon's teammate Jimmie Johnson, who led Saturday's first practice session, was third fastest with Roush-Fenway drivers David Ragan and Carl Edwards completing the top five.
