After winning the 1990 USAC National Midget Series and 1991 USAC Silver Crown Series championships, Gordon headed for NASCAR and found immediate success, winning NASCAR Busch (now Xfinity) Series Rookie of the Year honors in 1991 and making his Cup Series debut with Hendrick Motorsports at the 1992 season finale.
This was the beginning of one of most dominant driving careers in Cup Series history: 1993 Rookie of the Year, four series championships (1995, 1997, 1998, 2001), 93 career Cup victories (third all-time), three Daytona 500 wins (1997, 1999, 2005) and five Brickyard 400 victories, in 1994, 1998, 2001, 2004 and 2014.
His emotional victory at the inaugural Brickyard 400 on Aug. 6, 1994, before a sellout crowd of more than 300,000, is considered one of the seminal moments in NASCAR and IMS history which further elevated the status of NASCAR on the national stage.
Gordon retired from full-time driving in 2015, but returned for eight races in 2016 as substitute for the injured Dale Earnhardt Jr. He has been a race analyst for NASCAR on FOX since 2016.
