Asked by Wiki User

Jeff Gordon first became interested in sprint cars when he was 13 years old. The problem at the time was that you had to be 16 years old to race them. Jeff's family appealed to the insurance companies and he was allowed to race in the All Star Florida Speedweeks.

Jeff Gordon had an awesome childhood, after his mom and dad were divorced.

His step dad was more like a father to him than his actual father.

John Bickford, his step dad, ran a racing shop and it got Jeff into the sport.

When Jeff was 5 he started racing Quarter Midgets, at 10 he started racing Sprint cars and when he was 15 he started racing Stock cars.

Why is Jeff Gordon not liked?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'd say Jeff Gordon isn't liked mainly because there are so many Dale Earnhardt fans and everyone from the south likes Earnhardt. So when Jeff Gordon started breaking Earnhardts records those fans didn't like it and felt threatened that their favorite driver in Earnhardt might not be the best still and when Dale Jr. came along all of this just added to Gordons dislike because he would beat junior at the super speedways such as talladega. Also Gordon has been known as a cry baby and many don't like him because of that.
