Next 3 Wins Big for Jeff Gordon
Next 3 Wins are Monumental for Jeff Gordon
Jeff Gordon has already passed Dale Earnhardt on NASCAR’s All Time Win List.
If Gordon wins 3 more NASCAR Sprint Cup races they will be the biggest wins of his career.
6th on All Time List
Right now Jeff Gordon has 82 wins in his NASCAR Cup career putting him at sixth on the NASCAR winner’s list for all time.
With one more victory Gordon would tie Cale Yarborough for fifth place on that list.
With two more victories Gordon would surpass Yarborough and move into a 3 way tie for third place with Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip.
This record is not without controversy though. Bobby Allison claims he has 85 victories, but the Official NASCAR record shows him with 84.
With three more victories Gordon would surpass Allison and Waltrip to stand alone behind Richard Petty and David Pearson as the third most winning driver in NASCAR history.
Richard Petty has 200 wins. David Pearson has 105. Jeff Gordon will never win 200 races, but David Pearson’s record of 105 is not out of reach if Gordon wants it bad enough.
Can Jeff Gordon Win That Many More Times?
Jeff Gordon would need 24 more victories to pass David Pearson. If he races for 7 more years and wins 3 to 4 races a year he can get there. But will Gordon race that long, and can he continue to win?
