I should have been there! Jeff won his 75th career cup race. Jeff's next win will equal those of Dale Earnhart Sr. who won a total of 76 races in his 27 years of racing.Jeff has also now won $75 Million dollars. Richard Petty won only $8.5 Million in his entire 35 year career. And it just so happened that Jeff's first Cup Race was Richard Petty's last cup race.
Jeff has a lot of great things to boast about.
Like:
He's the only driver to ever take Rookie of the year in both the Busch Series (1991) and the Cup Series (1993).
He was the youngest driver to ever win a Cup Championship (24 years old in 1995).
He's won at every track except Miami, Phoenix and Texas.
He's won the Daytona 500 3 times.
He won the inaugural Brickyard 400 in 1994 and has won it three additional times since then.
Holds the record for eight road course victories...including one in Sonoma just two weeks ago.
Jeff's first Cup Race was Richard Petty's last cup race.
And the list goes on.....
So you can boo him, throw beer bottles at him and call him names but you can't change the fact that he's one of the best stock car drivers of all times. And he's not done! Jeff will celebrate his 35th birthday on August 4th. Salute.
