He is a four-time NASCAR Winston Cup (now Sprint Cup) Series champion, three-time Daytona 500 winner, and driver of the #24 Drive To End Hunger/DuPont/Pepsi Chevrolet Impala.

Gordon also has an equity stake in his own #24 team. He was born in Vallejo, California, raised in Pittsboro, Indiana, and currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
