He held off Jimmie Johnson for his first victory of the season and 82nd of his career. It was also his first career win at the Texas track. “This is the best place we possibly could have won because it alluded us for so long,” Gordon said. Good ride Cowboy, good ride.

Jeff to Start on the Front Row at Texas
April 3 – – Jeff Gordon will start on the outside of the front row in Sunday’s race at Texas Motor Speedway. Gordon is looking to snap two winless streaks: a 47-race victory lane drought and an 0-for-16 career mark at the Texas track. For the second time this season, Gordon will spotlight the National Guard– this time it’s the GED Plus program. “GED Plus allows non-high school graduates an opportunity to gain a high school diploma for free,” Gordon said. “By helping these students through this program, the National Guard is providing them with the hands-on training they need to increase their chances of being employed later on.” Gordon will partner with the National Guard in six other races this season, including Darlington on May 9; Michigan on June 14; Chicago on July 11; Richmond on September 12; New Hampshire on September 20; and Martinsville on October 25.

Jeff to Start 10th at Bristol
March 20 – – Jeff Gordon turned in his best qualifying performance in nearly a month, but it was only good enough for the 10th starting position in Sunday’s Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. With the tight confines of pit road at Bristol, Gordon will need a little luck — not to mention a fast car– to stay up front on the 1/2-mile track. Recent races at the track have been a far cry from the slugfests they used to be due in part to the variable banking in the corners that allow drivers on the high side to maintain momentum.
