Unseeded Thomas Enqvist followed his upset of No. 2 Andre Agassi with a comeback victory Sunday over defending champion Michael Chang to win the U.S. Indoor tennis tournament in Philadelphia.

The 20-year-old Swede picked up $110,000 for his fourth career title, losing the first set 0-6 before coming back to win the final two, 6-4, 6-0.

Enqvist showed some life to open the second set by serving four aces at more than 115 miles an hour in the first game.

Jeff Gordon made a runaway of the Goodwrench 500 in Rockingham, N.C., starting on the pole and speeding to his third Winston Cup victory. Gordon led 329 of the 492 laps on the 1.017-mile oval, including the final 83.

Only Bobby Labonte, in his first season driving for a Chevy for Joe Gibbs Racing, gave Gordon any serious competition after the halfway point, taking the lead on lap 376 when Gordon had a slow pit stop under the green flag. Labonte finished second.
