Kansas – Jeff Gordon

  • Wins: 3
  • Top 5’s: 11
  • Top 10’s: 14
  • Laps Led: 218
  • Poles: 0

Kansas Speedway was opened for NASCAR racing in 2001 and did not start holding two annual races until 2011, so there isn’t much history there, however, the four-time champion Jeff Gordon left his mark on the track before he retired.

He started off with a bang by winning the first two races in the fall of 2001 and 2002 by leading a total of 169 laps. Later on, from 2007 to 2011, Gordon had a streak of five-straight top-five finishes.

He won his third and final race at the track in the spring of 2014. While leading late in the race, Gordon got caught up in some traffic and had to hold off a fast No. 4 car before capturing his first win of the year and adding to a great 2014 season.

Oh, and as you guessed, this is definitely not the last time you will see Jeff Gordon’s name in this list.
