Jeff Gordon: Wins
built 622 days ago
In Nascar, Ryan Newman was leading the Bank of America 500 when he crashed with three laps to go, and Jeff Gordon took over from there, holding off Clint Bowyer to win at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Gordon now leads his teammate, Jimmie Johnson, by 68 points. Only three drivers have a realistic shot at the Cup: Gordon, Johnson, and Bowyer.

StockCarFans.com - Rumblings - California: #24-Jeff Gordon went back-to-back today....and did it with all of about a gallon of gas to spare. In what turned into a "fuelish" event (don't they so often do both here and at Michigan), Jeff Gordon won today's Auto Club 500 at California Speedway by 12.871 seconds....but it was actually much closer than that. #18-Bobby Labonte got to within a couple seconds late, but ran out of gas on the final lap. For Gordon, this was his 3rd win at Fontana (he won the inaugural event in 1997 and again in 1999) and his second win of 2004. This was win #66 for his career, and the 120th for Hendrick Motorsports (made even sweeter since they ran 1/2). The victory was worth $318,628 for Gordon from the over $5.7M in posted awards.

Gordon started off 1999 with a bang by winning the Daytona 500 from the pole position holding off Dale Earnhardt in the closing laps. In early March, he introduced his new Busch Grand National team at Las Vegas. The first race for the Pepsi Chevrolet BGN team was a solid fourth place effort. In Gordon's sixth Busch event of the season, Gordon posted a win at Phoenix. Gordon's Winston Cup season was a year of transition. He posted seven victories, including the aforementioned victory at Daytona, but ... had 7 DNF's.
