1. Jeff Gordon
With his career coming to an end, Jeff Gordon is undoubtedly our number one all time driver in Hendrick Motorsports history. Starting to race in the Sprint Cup Series in 1993, Gordon has gone on to win four Sprint Cup Series championships. His 92 wins rank third in NASCAR history, and you can make the argument today that he is the greatest NASCAR driver of all time.
Gordon won the team’s first championship in 1995 and followed that up by finishing second in 1996 before winning the teams third and fourth championship in 1997 and 1998. He won his fourth championship in 2001 and is still a force to be reckoned with in the series today. He has won the Daytona 500 three times, the Brickyard 400 5 times and has also captured the Coke 600 and Southern 500. With Gordon’s prolific career coming to an end, he will go down as one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history and is our number one driver in the history of Hendrick Motorsports.
