Jeff Gordon serves as the face of DVX™ Sun + Safety Eyewear - and his first exciting victory of the 2014 Sprint Cup season May 10 brought him an important step closer to his ultimate goal as a NASCAR champion - adding a fifth Sprint Cup championship to his career resume. Gordon took the lead at Kansas Speedway with eight laps to go when another driver had to pit for fuel, then held off a furious challenge from Kevin Harvick® to take the checkered flag by the narrowest of margins - "by inches," as Gordon himself reported to ESPN. 

Gordon has been the model of consistency this season, entering this race with four top-five finishes in 10 starts (he had eight all of last season).  Gordon came in as the 2014 Sprint Cup points leader, yet he had yet to notch that critical first victory. Gordon made no secret that this was weighing heavily on his team. Fortunately, Kansas Speedway has long been one of Gordon's favorite tracks, and this nighttime race couldn’t have come at a better time. This latest win was his third victory in Kansas, taking the first two Cup races here in 2001 and 2002.  

This victory was important to Gordon and his team for several reasons. First, it opened a crucial door for Gordon to pursue what could be his fifth Sprint Cup Championship. Second, it earned Gordon his 89th career victory, putting him one step closer to an important milestone. And most importantly, Gordon acknowledged that this win under the lights gave his team the drive and confidence to go for win #90 and beyond with the remainder of the season.
