The span between victories for Gordon had reached  66 races, the longest winless stretch of his career. Phoenix continues  to be &#8220;the place&#8221; to end long losing streaks in the NASCAR Sprint  Series: Ryan Newman ended a 77-race winless streak last spring while  Carl Edwards put an end to his 70-race shutout last fall at the one mile  tri-oval. Gordon&#8217;s victory was the 83rd of his career, tying him with  the legendary Cale Yarborough for fifth-place all-time.<\/p>\n<p>Gordon&#8217;s victory was unexpected since he was less than impressive at the  season-opening Daytona 500, where he finished a disappointing 28th  after starting second. It appeared early on that his fortunes at Phoenix  wouldn&#8217;t be much better after being slammed into the wall by Edwards  during a massive wreck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time since April, 2009, Jeff Gordon wheeled into Victory Lane at Phoenix International Raceway after outdueling Kyle Busch in the Subway Fresh Fit 500.
