#24-Jeff Gordon can tie Dale Earnhardt for most restrictor plate victories with a win on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. Earnhardt won 11 times [restictor plate races, also won 2 races at Talladega before restrictor plates, 1983 and 1984 for a total of 13] at Talladega (8) and Daytona (3), including his final victory at Talladega five years ago. Dale was the master of these types of races, said Gordon, who has won two of the three restrictor plate races this season. Id love to get the win, but not because of any statistic or record. And it really doesnt add any extra incentive because this team tries to win every race.(in part from The State), Gordon has won 10 restrictor plate races: four races at Talladega, three Daytona 500’s and three Pepsi 400’s at Daytona.(9-30-2005)
