We’ll never get rid of this guy now. He’ll be the face of Nascar for the next decade.

A shortened win is a win.

There are plenty of asterisks to go around:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NASCAR/comments/cd6j69/list_of_alltime_weathershortened_races/

In NASCAR's modern era (since 1972), there have been 52 shortened races. [This list is two years old, so a couple more might have been added since.]

Jeff Gordon has five rain-shortened wins (Bristol 1996, Talladega 1996, Atlanta 1998, Pocono 2007, Pocono 2012), which is the most of any driver.

Darrell Waltrip has the second-most with four rain-shortened wins (Atlanta 1977, Atlanta 1982, Bristol 1983, Darlington 1992).

Five drivers have three each - Rusty Wallace (Pocono 1991, Martinsville 1995, Phoenix 1998), Jeff Burton (both Darlington races in 1999 and Las Vegas 2000), Tony Stewart (Michigan 2000, Loudon 2000, Fontana 2012), Kurt Busch (Atlanta 2002, Loudon 2008, Michigan 2015) and Cale Yarborough (Martinsville 1976, Richmond 1977, Martinsville 1977).

Sterling Marlin (Daytona 1996 and Michigan 2001) and Richard Petty (Martinsville 1973 and Pocono 1974) have two shortened wins.

There are 24 other drivers (Pearson, Marcis, Richmond, Davey Allison, Earnhardt, Kyle Petty, Martin, Bobby Labonte, Elliott, Newman, Michael Waltrip, Nemechek, Johnson, Kahne, Biffle, Kenseth, Reutimann, Logano, Almirola, Earnhardt Jr., Buescher, Edwards, Bowyer and Haley) who have one.
