Gordon is a three-time All-Star winner, but his last victory came in 2001. He also won this race in 1995 and 1997. He started seventh and finished 11th last year. He has seven top-five finishes and 10 top-10s in 14 All-Star appearances. "I think the All-Star race is a fantastic event," Gordon said. "We all look forward to it because of the excitement, the prestige, the bragging rights and the million dollars that goes to the winner. There are no points on the line, which means there is less pressure on the teams, but it seems there is more excitement surrounding the event. You just have fun and race hard. Most importantly, though, I think it's a great race for the fans. You hope it's a great race for them because that is really what this event is all about. It's sort of giving back to the fans for their support and everything they do for us."
Gordon finished third at Darlington.
Each of Gordon's three victories, coincidentally, occurred in years he won the NASCAR Cup Series championship.
