Rustler's Daydream
January 5 - - Jeff Gordon will reportedly sell his property near Carbondale, Colorado later this year
to a prominent developer who intends to build a golf course.
According to the Aspen Times,
Gordon has sold most of nearly 2,000 secluded mountain acres to a development group headed by John MacDonald who
created the Dallas National Golf Club in Texas a few years ago.
Gordon, who reportedly bought the land in 2006 for $9 million, was not even thinking of selling the land until MacDonald
approached him with an offer simply too good to pass up.
Gordon will retain a 50-acre parcel of his own, as well as "a couple of memberships in the [golf] club," MacDonald said.
The pastures and rolling hills of the property are some of the most secluded and scenic terrain that remains undeveloped
in the valley.
Think I'll ride into Leadville and have a few beers...

Gordon scored a dozen victories during his USAC National Midget racing career and earned the 1990 USAC National Midget Championship.
Gordon landed podium finishes in 22 of 40 Midget races
between 1989 and 1992.
On The Trading Floor
December 13 - - People often say that Jeff Gordon looks more like a stock
broker than a race car driver. On Wednesday, December 10, Gordon got a firsthand look
at the financial trading environment. He spend a few hours on the trading floor of ICAP, an international broker in financial markets,
at the company's offices in Jersey City, N.J. Gordon and other celebrities joined ICAP brokers for the day when all company revenues were
donated to more than 100 different charities around the world. ICAP raised $16.3 million on its 16th annual Charity Day, beating the $13.7 million raised in 2007 and bringing the
total raised to $79.2 million since 1993.
