The Winston – some notes: Gordon won The Winston in 1995 and 1997 and went on to win the Winston Cup championship both times. He also won the title in 1998 and would have won The Winston that year, too, had he not run out of gas on the final lap. Dale Earnhardt also won championships in the three years he won the event (’87. ’90 and ’93), as did Rusty Wallace in 1989 and Darrell Waltrip in 1985. Chevrolet now has won The Winston 10 times in 17 tries. Gordon has now won $1,385,610 in eight starts in the all-star race. He moved past Dale Earnhardt, the event’s only other three-time winner, who won $1,295,410 in 16 starts(see more at That’s Racin’)(5-21-2001)
