His first win at Phoenix?
First ever win from the pole at Phoenix?
Ties Waltrip for most Modern-era poles?
Ties Earnhardt for 2nd in Modern-era wins?
All of the above?

The biggest deal was taking it to Stewart after Stewart made that 3 wide pass. Shows that Gordon still has the fire and the passion.

Without a doubt it's the 76th win. Jeff Gordon has a bunch of poles and will have many more. I know he wanted to win at Phoenix but he wanted the 76th win more than anything else. What a historic week in racing (and I'm not even a big Gordon fan). It was so cool to see him honor Dale Sr with the 3 flag on the victory lap (apperently he's had it in the pits since Chicago, last July). It's just neat to be watching the record books get rewritten in front of our eyes. All the people that don't like him surely ought to at least be able recognize his importance to racing and it's growth in popularity. You don't have to like a driver to respect them. My hat is off to the whole 24 team from the past and present and to Rick Hendrick.

All of the above. I knew that his year was coming. I'm a huge fan. I love the guy to death. I mean he has done so much for the sport and just like DW said after the race Jeff Gordon is rewritting the record books just like everyone knew he would since his first race at Atlanta in 1992, which was Richard Petty's last race. Then there is the fact that Jeff is the 3rd Hendrick driver to win the 3rd COT race, and it's like the stars are aligning for something great to happen. I couldn't believe that last night was that magnificent and I think the Drive for 5 is back for good.. He is going to win that championship I believe they are the most consistent team out there. I think that this is his year.. Go #24!!!!

The biggest is winning at Phoenix from the pole for the first time. Tying Earnhardt is just icing on the cake.

Tying Earnhardt was the biggest thing. When you tie a man like that you know you're accomplishing something. Congrats to Jeff.
