CONCORD, N.C. - Seven parts, eight weeks.
It's been a heck of a jaunt down memory lane.
We hope you've enjoyed reading our series, 'From Winner to Champion', as much as we've enjoyed putting it together. Thirty years after Jeff Gordon scored the first of 14 NASCAR Cup Series championships for Hendrick Motorsports, reliving the moments along the way with fresh perspective and testimony from those involved, has been quite an experience.
From team owner Rick Hendrick's strategic maneuvering of people and resources behind the scenes to the designing and development of the 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and all the key points throughout one of the sport's most notable seasons, we've covered it all. Now, we've taken the pieces and conjoined them in one, convenient place for you, dear reader.
So, with that, here is the complete series, written in seven parts with two photo galleries and a look at all the statistical data we could gather.
Thank you for reading.
