Jeffery Michael Gordon was headed for NASCAR early, after his stepfather introduced him to Quarter Midget racing at age 5. As a kid, he won more than 600 races. By the age of 16, he became the youngest ever to be awarded a USAC license and won the Midget championship at age 19 (also the youngest driver to win the title). He made his Busch Series debut in 1990 and raced his first Cup race in November 1992 at Atlanta. His first full season for Hendrick Motorsports was in 1993.
The 2007 NASCAR Nextel season came to its end Friday evening with NASCAR Award banquet at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel where the driver, Jimmie Johnson who had a record breaking season, pilling up 1,663 points during the 10-race Chase Cup received the championship’s trophy. No less credit received the other Hendrick driver, Jeff Gordon who also posted numbers that would have been a sure ticket to Title Town in any other year, winning six races. A record money amount ($32.8M) was distributed between the top 10 drivers (over $1 million each).
Earnhardt, Jr. spent most of the first half of the season among the top three in the Sprint Cup championship standings.

A true measure of a driver’s performance is the driver ratings.
