Jeff Gordon
Jeffery Michael “Jeff” Gordon (born August 4, 1971 in Vallejo, California) is one of THE superstars of the American NASCAR series. He drives the Chevrolet with the number 24 for Hendrick Motorsports.
After his debut in the Busch Series in 1990, Gordon joined Rick Hendrick’s successful team in 1993. Since then, in well over 700 races, he has won the championship four times and taken roughly 90 individual race wins.
Thanks to Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson got the chance to race in the Cup Series, and alongside Rick Hendrick, Jeff Gordon is co-owner of the car with the number 48. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon, all teammates at Hendrick Motorsports, are among the most popular drivers in NASCAR.
With this Chevy Monte Carlo, Jeff Gordon had a very difficult start in 1995, finishing the season opener, the “Great American Race” (the Daytona 500), in 22nd place even though he had started in 4th. Several of the following races didn’t go very well for Jeff Gordon either, whether because of technical problems with the car or because his finishing position was taken away after the race due to non-compliant cap covers. Nevertheless, Gordon went on to win the 1995 Winston Cup Series championship and take home the trophy.
