How many NASCAR Cup Series championships did Jeff Gordon win?

The story behind the answer

Jeff Gordon won four NASCAR Cup Series championships.

Gordon captured his titles in 1995, 1997, 1998, and 2001. Driving the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, he became one of the defining stars of NASCAR's modern era. His first championship came only a few seasons after he began competing full-time in the top series.

Gordon's four titles were earned under NASCAR's season-long points system used before the modern playoff format. He also won 93 Cup Series races, including three Daytona 500s in 1997, 1999, and 2005. His combination of victories, poles, consistency, and major-race success made him one of the sport's most accomplished drivers.

The larger numbers in the wrong options belong to other NASCAR legends: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and Jimmie Johnson each won seven Cup championships. Gordon's total of four places him among the sport's elite, but it is distinct from the seven-title record.
