Highlights
81 wins. Four Cup championships. Three Daytona 500 trophies. Those facts alone make Jeff Gordon one of NASCAR¿s most decorated drivers of all time, and, at the age of 36, the Vallejo, Calif., native still has plenty of time to reach greater heights.
To put his career in perspective, only one other driver (Darrell Waltrip) has won more races (84) in NASCAR¿s modern era (1972-present). And Gordon is well within striking distance of the NASCAR record of seven season championships, a mark shared by the sport¿s most revered names, Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt.
A driver for Hendrick Motorsports since his Winston Cup debut in 1994, Gordon has also left his mark as co-car owner...
