Eleven Years Ago: Jeff Gordon's Last NASCAR Win

Eleven years ago, on October 31st, 2015, Jeff Gordon celebrated his 93rd and final NASCAR Cup Series win at the Martinsville Speedway. Driving his iconic No. 24 Chevrolet, Gordon's victory at the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 was his ninth at the track and secured his berth in the Championship 4. This achievement was a storybook moment in his final full-time racing season, offering him a chance at a fifth championship.

Gordon led 35 laps and overtook A.J. Allmendinger with 21 laps remaining, ultimately holding off Jamie McMurray on the final restart to claim the checkered flag. While he finished sixth in the championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, his NASCAR journey continued post-retirement.

Since stepping away from full-time competition, Gordon transitioned to broadcasting for NASCAR on FOX, serving as a color commentator for six seasons. He also briefly filled in for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2016 due to injury. Gordon’s enduring impact on the sport led to his induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2019. He currently holds a significant role as the Vice Chairman of Hendrick Motorsports.
