Gordon made his stock car debut in the NASCAR Busch Series on October 20, 1990, at North Carolina Motor Speedway for Hugh Connerty, crashing out on lap 33 and ending up with a 39th-place finish. The following year, Gordon began racing in the Busch Series full-time, driving for Bill Davis Racing. In his first year as a Busch driver he won Rookie of the Year.

During Gordon's career with Hendrick, he won his first race in 1994 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the Coca-Cola 600, and later became a four-time Cup Series champion. He won his first title the following year in the 1995 season, and went on to win it in 1997, 1998, and 2001. He also won the Daytona 500 three times in 1997, 1999, and 2005. As of 2017, he ranks third on the all-time Cup wins list with 93, the most in NASCAR's modern era (1972–present). Gordon's 81 pole positions is also third all-time; Gordon won at least one pole in 23 consecutive seasons, a NASCAR record.

Over the course of his racing career, Gordon won a total of 98 NASCAR races, 93 of which were in the Cup Series. He also won five races in the Busch Series. His final NASCAR victory came at Martinsville Speedway in 2015 in the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500. Although he returned on a part-time basis in 2016 as a substitute driver for Dale Earnhardt Jr., this did not result in any further victories; his best result in his return was a sixth-place finish at Martinsville.
