Sure, being a dad has changed NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon's life, but it hasn't exactly encouraged him to slow it down or retire.
According to an interview held before this weekend's race at Talladega (in which he was involved in a wild 7-car pile-up), Gordon talked about the things that have changed for him since his daughter Ella Sofia was born, and the things that haven't. Apparently, Jeff claims that he's “more intense about racing today” than ever before:
“Family has always been important to me and been a priority but it
doesn’t change my focus on racing and what I do in the race car.”
Hopefully, having a family at least changes what he does and doesn't do in the family car. If you didn't catch Sunday's spectacular wreck on the highlight reels, you should watch the video. It should definitely give some of the drivers with families pause.
“I love being a dad,” Jeff admits. “Just this week getting to go to school with her and
different classes…We went to the museum and different things. Just
seeing things through her eyes is incredible.”
