22 tracks where Jeff Gordon has won Cup Series races
22 tracks where Jeff Gordon has won Cup Series races
New tracks have been added while old were removed during Jeff Gordon's illustrious career. He announced 2015 would be his last season but he got behind the wheel for Rick Hendrick after Dale Earnhardt Jr. suffered a concussion in 2016.
Gordon hopes to spend the 2017 season at the track from the broadcast booth for FOX NASCAR, where he'll have information on how to win at nearly every track the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series heads to.
The only track Gordon hasn't won at that the Cup Series races on regularly is Kentucky Speedway. His best finish was fifth in five races at the track.
Gordon also posted wins at North Wilkesboro Speedway (1) and Rockingham Speedway (4), but since neither are currently on the circuit, they've been excluded from the list.
Check out how Gordon's 93 career wins add up by track:
22
Homestead-Miami Speedway, 1
In 2012, Gordon won the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The race was dominated by Kyle Busch, who led 191 laps. Gordon led only 14, but held off Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman for the win.

Chicagoland Speedway, 1
Gordon quickly took to the 1.5-mile Chicagoland track when it was introduced on the circuit in 2001, finishing fourth or better in four of the first six races at the track. His lone win came in 2006. He'd finish second at the track two times after his victory.
19
Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 1
Gordon's singular win in Sin City happened in March 2001. While Gordon finished near the front a few more times, he never saw much success at Las Vegas, evident by his 15.17 average finish.

Phoenix International Raceway, 2
When considering the stats, Phoenix appears to be one of Gordon's best tracks, but then you remember how elite Gordon is as a driver. Posting 24 top-10 finishes in 34 races with an average finish of 10.76 and two wins sounds like a great track. For Gordon, it's among his lowest in wins, and slightly above average in everything else.

Richmond International Raceway, 2
Gordon won his last race at Richmond in 2000. His first win at RIR is over 20 years ago. While he never made it back to Victory Lane in the final 15 years of his career, he did post a ton of solid finishes, including 15 top-10s in his final 19 races at the Virginia short track.
Gordon won two of his first three races at Auto Club and seemed to have the track under his thumb. He won once more in 2004 and posted a career average finish of 11.77 in 26 races at the California speedway.

One of the newest tracks on the NASCAR circuit, Gordon found consistent success at Kansas. He posted his fourth-best average finish (9.95) at completed almost every lap he raced at the track with only two DNFs.
14
New Hampshire Motor Speedway, 3
There were still Y2K fears the last time Gordon won at Loudon. His three wins came from 1995 to 1998 but, as holds true with most tracks, the four-time Cup Series champion was extremely consistent. His average finish of 11.19 is mid-pack for Gordon, but still extremely strong over a 42 race sample size.
