Jeff Gordon wishes he could remember more details from his first Indianapolis victory.
It's been 30 years since that day, Aug. 6, 1994. A milestone that is pretty amazing to Gordon, who laughs about his lack of memory.
Gordon will go down in history as NASCAR's first winner at Indianapolis -- an event with so much hype and publicity as stock cars descended upon hallowed ground for open-wheel competition. Gordon, in his recognizable rainbow No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, led 93 of the race's 160 laps.
"I remember more of the feeling and the energy of seeing so many people riding around on the pace lap," Gordon said to ESPN.
