Jeff Gordon
Person

Born:  August 4, 1971
Hometown:  Pittsboro, Indiana/Vallejo, California

NASCAR Nextel Cup driver.

Between the Bristol race in March of 2001 and the Darlington race in September of 2003, Jeff Gordon had an unbroken streak of 56 races where he was running at the finish.

On April 22, 2007 Jeff Gordon won the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway.  The win was his 76th, tying Dale Earnhardt for total wins.  In honor of Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon drove a victory lap with a #3 flag.

The next weekend, on April 29, Jeff Gordon won at Talladega, whose fans are known to be pro-Earnahrdt Jr.  Debris was thrown at the 24 car on the cool-down lap, resulting in 14 fans being banned for life from Talladega Superspeedway and other tracks whose owners agreed to carry over the ban to their own facilities.

His accomplishments include:

  • 1991 USAC Silver Crown Champion
  • 1991 Busch Series Rookie of the Year
  • 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Rookie of the Year
  • 1995 NASCAR Winston Cup Champion
  • 1997 NASCAR Winston Cup Champion
  • 1998 NASCAR Winston Cup Champion
  • 2001 NASCAR Winston Cup Champion
