GORDON SET TO MAKE 700TH START AT THE TRACK TOO TOUGH TO TAME
May 7, 2013

After a wild weekend in Talladega, NASCAR’s next stop won’t provide any more calmness. As the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series™ rolls in to Darlington this weekend, the track nicknamed “Too Tough to Tame” will be just that.

The 2012 Bojangles’ Southern 500 was a history-making event. Hendrick Motorsports rolled out of the Lady in Black with another win, but this win was a little bit more memorable. As Jimmie Johnson took the checkered flag – not only did it give Johnson a push in the points, but it gave Rick Hendrick his 200th win. It is a milestone record that seems almost impossible in a sport that has seen so many legends in 50 years, but Hendrick’s 200thtruly makes the team a dynasty.

So will there be a repeat this weekend with Johnson in the No. 48 Lowe’s Emerald Green Chevy SS? Or will another Hendrick star step up to take the spotlight?


Jeff Gordon is no stranger to winning. In fact, he has already claimed seven victories at the unique, egg-shaped track that cars roll into clean and almost all leave with the infamous Darlington Stripe after rubbing the red-and-white wall.  When he straps into the No. 24 Cromax Pro Chevy Saturday night, Gordon will be making his 700th consecutive career start – making him only the 15thdriver to reach that plateau.

With a winless 2013 season thus far, it seems only fitting that it is time to shine and what better way to shine than in his 700thstart? Time will only tell, but until then fans will sit in anticipation to see the outcome.

We think a Jeff Gordon 700th career start No. 24 Cromax Pro Raced-Win die-cast would be a great piece of memorabilia to add to any collection. Under the lights Saturday night, we will see if it happens.
