Phoenix International Raceway

on

Two of Jeff Gordon’s 85 NASCAR Sprint Cup wins have come at Phoenix, and both were of the milestone variety.

With his first win at Phoenix in this race in 2007, Gordon tied Dale Earnhardt on the all-time wins list at 76. With his win in this race last year, Gordon snapped a 66-race winless streak and tied Cale Yarborough on the all-time win list with 83.

He’s got a shot at notching another milestone this Sunday with Hendrick Motorsports 200th career win in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. A victory would extend Rick Hendrick’s NSCS win record at Phoenix to 10.
