== == Jeff Gordon
Research gave me the answer below, but it's common knowledge Jeff Gordon certainly began racing the Cup in the modern era and he has 81 victories, according to your question, that would be Jeff Gordon.
Dale Earnhardt Seven championships, seventy-six wins and all in the modern era. There is no doubt that "The Intimidator" is the best that NASCAR has ever seen. He was a master on the track and equally good with the press. Dale Earnhardt left us while still on top of his game. He certainly had many more wins in front of him and a great shot at his eighth championship.
