In total in the 2000s Gordon won 33 races

Sam Hornish Jr.Now NASCAR fans are really going to be saying "WHAT!!" But hold on here. Remember that Sam Hornish might be the best driver to grace North American open wheel racing.In 2001, in his second season in open wheel racing, after not winning a race in 2000, he won three races and the championship.Then in 2002, Hornish wom five races, including the last two of the season and the championship again, beating Helio Castroneves, who had just made the jump from Champ car with Penske Racing. Hornish would also win at Chicagoland that year, beating Al Unsner Jr. by .0024 of a second in one of the closest finishes in open wheel racing history.In 2004, he made the switch to Penske Racing, winning the season opener.In 2006, Hornish won four races, including the Indianapolis 500, making a last lap pass on Marco Andretti to become the first, and only, driver to make a last lap pass in the Indianapolis 500. He also won the championship in a tiebreaker over Dan Wheldon decided by most wins.Hornish has had it rough in Sprint Cup, though he improved to having two top-fives, seven top-10s, and finishing 28th in points in 2009 But don't allow that to tarnish his legacy. 5. Fernado AlonsoFernado Alonso is one of the best drivers to grace open wheel racing coast-to-coast, which makes it easy to put him on this list.In 2005, Alonso won seven races and his first championship at the age of 24 years and 58 days. He broke Emerson Fittipaldi's record of being the youngest driver to win a Forumla 1 championship at the time (you'll see).In 2006, Alonso would once again win seven races and back-to-back championships, becoming the youngest driver to win consecutive series championships. He is also one of two drivers (the other being Michael Schumacher) to score more than 100 points in a three-season span. 4. Lewis HamiltonLewis Hamilton is only 24 years of age, but has become one of the greatest open wheel racers, also breaking a big racing color barrier.In 2007, Hamilton's rookie year in Formula 1, he won four races and set several records, including: most consecutive podiums from debut race (nine), most consecutive podiums for a British driver (nine), youngest driver to lead the World Championship (22 years, four months, eight days), most wins in a debut season (four), most pole positions in a debut season (six) and most points in a debut season (109).After barely being defeated by Felipe Masa for the 2007 crown, Hamilton would come back strong in 2008, winning five races and becoming the youngest F1 World Champion at 23 years and 300 days, a record previously held by Alonso.Hamilton also became the first black driver to win a major motorsports championship, breaking a huge color barrier not only in F1, but in racing from coast-to-coast. 3.

Jeff GordonJeff Gordon is a four-time Sprint Cup champion. But in this decade, he would only manage to win one championship, which came in 2001. In that same season, he would also collect six wins, 18 top-fives, 24 top-10s, an average finish of 10.97, and led 2,320 laps.From 2002 to 2004, Gordon would finish no worse than fourth in points and win no fewer than three races a season.In 2005, he won his third Daytona 500, four races in total, but would miss out on the Chase.In 2007, Gordon appeared to be back to his '90s stature. He won six races, collected 21 top-fives, a modern record-breaking 30 top-10s, an average finish of 7.33, and led1,300 laps. But he would have to settle for finishing second to teammate Jimmie Johnson.In total in the 2000s, Gordon won 33 races. 2. Tony StewartTony Stewart entered Sprint Cup competition in 1999. After finishing second in points to Jeff Gordon in 2001, Stewart took off in 2002.He won three races, collected a series high 15 top-fives, 21 top-10s, an average finish of 12.61, and led 745 laps to cllaim his first of two championships by 38 points over Mark Martin.In 2005, Stewart would show a year of dominance. He won five races (second most that season to Greg Biffle's six), including a win at the Brickyard which had eluded him his whole career. He collected series highs in top-fives (17) and top 10s (25), an average finish of 9.92 and led 1,845 laps. Stewart won the championship by just 35 points over Biffle and Carl Edwards.In 2006, won the last IROC championship.2009 was Stewart's first year as a driver/owner with Stewart-Haas racing. He flourished, winning the Allstar and four other races, collecting 15 top-fives, 23 top-10s, an average finish of 10.44, led 414 laps and finished sixth in points after dominating the regular season. 1 Jimmie JohnsonJimmie Johnson was a rookie in 2002. Since then, with Chad Knaus guiding him every step, he has undoubtedly become a legend in NASCAR and in racing in general.Johnson became the first rookie to ever lead in cup points and finished the season fifth in points. Still, he lost Rookie of the Year honors to Ryan Newman,Johnson would have a few close calls with winning a championship, finishing second in points in 2003 and 2004.

In won eight races that year.After finishing fifth in points in 2005, in 2006, Johnson would win the Daytona 500, the Brickyard 400, and the Allstar race, becoming the first driver to win all three in the same season. He overcame a 165-point deficit to win his first championship by 52 points over Matt Kenseth, scoring five wins, 13 top-fives, 24 top-10s, an average finish of 9.67, and led 854 laps.In 2007, Johnson would win 10 races, including an amazing four in a row late in the season, beating his teammate and owner Jeff Gordon in a dogfight for the cup. He would also collect 20 top-fives, 24 top-10s, an average finish of 10.75, and led 1,289 laps.In 2008, he battled hard with Carl Edwards, but won seven races, collected 15 top-fives, 22 top-tens, had an average finish of 10.53, led 1,959 laps. He claimed his third straight championship, beating Edwards by 69 points. He became the second driver to win three in a row, joining Cale Yarborough.But 2009 would be a history-making year for Johnson. He won seven races, collected 16 top-fives, 24 top-10s, an average finish of 11.08, led 2,238 laps.
