Four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jeff Gordon will be the celebrity builder for this week's 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' build in Horry County, officials announced this morning.

Gordon has won a record seven times at nearby Darlington Raceway, his first victory coming at the 1995 Southern 500 and the most recent at the 2007 Dodge Avenger 500.

Gordon also is a three-time Daytona 500 winner in the No. 24 car for Hendrick Motorsports.
