Steven, now seven, was about four years old when he first began cheering for Jeff Gordon in the Winston Cup races on TV. He said he really liked Jeff because he wins all the time and he won the million dollars. From time to time I pull for other drivers, but Steven always pulls for Jeff Gordon, no matter who dad likes that day. Steven is always looking for Jeff Gordon pictures. He has a Jeff Gordon telephone and Jeff Gordon drinking glasses at home. Although Steven has not been to a Winston Cup race yet, his mom is taking him to the time trials and practices in Daytona before the Pepsi 400 in October. Steven is excited about the chance to see his favorite driver on the track. On behalf of my son, Steven, here's to a great NASCAR future for Jeff.
