Jeff Gordon, The Martinsville Master … Currently out front in his quest for a fifth series title, Jeff Gordon’s Martinsville statistics bode well – and likely awe – as he approaches Sunday’s Subway 500.
Gordon leads all active drivers with seven Martinsville wins. He also has five poles, 17 top fives and 23 top 10s there, plus a second-best (behind Tony Stewart) pre-race Driver Rating of 123.8.
More facts in Gordon’s favor: He’s won two straight, at Talladega Superspeedway two weeks ago and last Saturday night at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. He and Jimmie Johnson each have a series-high six victories this season.
Gordon also leads the series with six poles, 19 top fives and 25 top 10s in ’07.
