Jeff Gordon Biography

Jeff Gordon (born August 4, 1971), a four-time NASCAR Winston Cup champion, drives the #24 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. His major sponsors include DuPont and Pepsi. Symbolically, Gordon's first Winston Cup race, the 1992 Hooters 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway was also the final race of Richard Petty's career. Fan reaction to Gordon's continuing success has been sharply divided. He remains popular in his home state of Indiana and his birth state of California, but is often booed by fans in the deep South. Gordon was married to Brooke Gordon (a.k.a. Jennifer Sealy), who was Miss Winston in 1992. They were divorced in 2003.
