Rich Get Richer: Points Leader Gordon Restrictor Plate King

Jeff Gordon holds an 85-point lead over Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson. It could grow with another patented Gordon restrictor plate win.

Gordon is the all-time leader in restrictor plate wins with 12. He broke the record in the second Talladega race in 2007, passing Dale Earnhardt’s 11.

Gordon is looking to rebound off a 25th-place finish at Phoenix, his first finish outside the top 10 since the Daytona 500 (13th).
