With Gordon's win at Texas, he now has a win at 21 of the active 22 tracks on the NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule.
The only track he needs a win at now is Homestead-Miami Speedway -- the site of the season finale Ford 400 -- and that will complete the active track win sweep.
NBaP is amazed at this endeavor, being that only three drivers have won at every active track in a given season's schedule:
- Richard Petty,
- David Pearson and
- Cale Yarborough.
Petty boasted a win at every track run from 1981-1985.
Pearson had a win at every track from 1976-78 and again from 1982-85.
Yarborough also did it from 1981-85.
Regardless of whether you are a Jeff Gordon Fan or not, I think it's a worthy, professional endeavor and we should root for achievement, if nothing else.
