Gordon won just one race in three years from 2008 to 2010 but he broke through again and managed to take checkered flags three times in 2011, winning at Phoenix in February, Pocono in June, and Atlanta in September.
None of those victories, however, came during the Chase portion of the schedule, leaving him to finish in eighth place in the overall standings, 116 points back of both Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards in the race to claim the Sprint Cup title.
Overall Gordon managed to pick up 13 Top-5 results and 18 Top-10 finishes in 2011, numbers which were both up slightly from 2010 (11 Top-5 results, 17 Top-10 finishes).
So clearly the Hendrick Motorsports driver has something left in the tank. That's reflected on his Bovada Sportsbook odds to win the Sprint Cup championship this season, as he sits in the top tier of contenders at 10/1 to claim the title; teammate Jimmie Johnson is the 5/1 leader.
Gordon is also listed at 12/1 odds to win the Daytona 500 on Sunday afternoon, after he drove to a 15th-place finish at the Budweiser Shootout last weekend. The No. 24 car had a Daytona 500 to forget last year, as he ended up way back in 28th place at that race.
Gordon hasn't won the Cup title since 2001, but he also hasn't finished worse than 11th place in the standings in the past 10 years.
