About Jeff Gordon

Gordon began racing at the age of five, racing quarter midgets. The Roy Hayer Memorial Race Track (Previously the CrackerJack Track) in Rio Linda, California is noted as the first track Gordon ever competed on. By the Age of 6 Gordon had won 35 main events and set 5 track records. By the age of 13 Gordon took an interest in the 650 horsepower (480 kW) sprint cars.

Before the age of 18, Gordon had already won three short-track races and was awarded USAC Midget Car Racing Rookie of the Year in 1989. In his midget car career between 1989 and 1992, he finished in the Top 3 in 22 of 40 USAC midget car events.

In his first year as a Busch driver he won rookie of the year. In 1992, Gordon set a NASCAR record by capturing 11 poles in one season. Gordon made his Winston Cup debut in the history-making 1992 Hooters 500 at Atlanta in the last race of that season. This was Gordon's first start in the #24 DuPont Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports that he has driven for his entire Cup Series career.

Gordon began driving the #24 full-time in the 1993 Winston Cup season, in which he won a Daytona 500 qualifying race, the Rookie of the Year award, and finished 14th in points. In 2009, Gordon became the first driver to reach $100 Million in career winnings for the Cup series.

He has won a total of 82 career races, second in the modern era behind Darrell Waltrip and was the fastest to reach 50 wins, requiring 232 starts, 46 fewer starts than second place Darrell Waltrip.
