Former NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon's NASCAR career is one of the most decorated in sport’s history. Over his two-decade NASCAR career, Gordon claimed four NASCAR Cup championships, 93 wins and countless iconic moments. Despite an incredible career, which included 93 wins ranked third-all-time, there were a few tracks where Gordon never visited the victory lane.

Known for his versatility in racing, Jeff Gordon conquered almost every type of track on the circuit, from superspeedways to short tracks to road courses, but there’s one track on which he couldn't exert his dominance.

The only NASCAR track where Gordon failed to win is the Kentucky Speedway, winning at 24 of 25 tracks he had raced in.

Jeff Gordon’s career was already winding down when 1.5-mile Kentucky Speedway was added to the Cup Series schedule in 2011. He made only five starts at the track, with the best finish of P5 in 2012. Even with these omissions in his racing resume, his name remains etched in NASCAR’s history as one of the greatest drivers ever to grace the sport.

His career is a testament to excellence, with victories spanning almost every track he raced in and discipline in Cup Series.

NASCAR tracks like Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL were added after Gordon’s retirement, which means HMS's former star driver never had the opportunity to compete there. Tracks like Chicago Street Course and Road America were also not a part of the schedule during his career.


Jeff Gordon’s illustrious NASCAR career

Jeff Gordon is a renowned name in the NASCAR fraternity. He competed full-time at Cup level from 1993 to 2015 in the #24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports throughout his career. He claimed the 1995, 1997, 1998 and 2001 Cup Series championships, and his 93 Cup wins rank third all-time most wins by a driver behind legendary drivers Richard Petty (200) and David Pearson (105).

The four-time Cup champion has also won multiple races in Crown Jewel races: Daytona 500 three times (1997, 1999, and 2005), Coca-Cola 6000 three times (1994, 1997, and 1998), Southern 500 six times (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, and 2007), and Brickyard 400 five times (1994, 1998, 2001, 2004, and 2014). Additionally, he scored 477 top-10 finishes and 81 poles, ranking third all-time in 805 Cup Series starts.

Jeff Gordon retired from full-time NASCAR competition at the end of the 2015 season. He's currently working as the vice chairman of Hendrick Motorsports.
