Guilty Pleasures Monday Jeff Gordon

Thanks to my friend Fannie for the inspiration for this Monday’s Guilty Pleasures – Jeff Gordon.

Now Jeff is a familiar face from a number of television commercials as are several of the other NASCAR drivers, but did you know this about Jeff — he is a four-time NASCAR Winston Cup (now Sprint Cup) Series champion and a three-time Daytona 500 winner! (I bet Fannie knew that though 😉 )

What else? Jeff began racing at the age of five with quarter midgets, a type of car that is 1/4 the size of a midget race car and can go from 30 to 70 mph. And to imagine that I didn’t want to let my teenager behind the wheel of a full size car!

On the track, Jeff races for Hendrick Motorsports team driving a Chevrolet (Go Chevy!). For more on Jeff, you can visit his bio at the NASCAR page: http://www.nascar.com/drivers/dps/jgordon00/cup

  1. Way to go Jackie C. Tony is my driver also. Sorry I missed being here yesterday. NASCAR drivers are into charity. Jeff built a Children’s Cancer Hospital near Charlotte, NC. Tony Stewart has given over $2 million to Victory Junction Camp for children.Others help with Autism, diabetes,breast cancer and etc. They all do this. Speaks well for the doesn’t it? Have a great day and hugs to all.

  2. I was surprised to see Jeff Gordon here when I came to chat. He has really changed and for the better since his little one arrived. I would like to see Jeff or Mark Martin win this year. Thanks for the write up and I enjoyed reading it. I try not to miss a race..if I work..then I tape it to see later. susan L.
