Meet the Jeff Gordon Network November Fan of the Month Karen Carpenter!
How long have you been following Jeff Gordon? Why?
In the 90's but I have been hard core since 2006. I follow Jeff because I think he is the #1 driver and he is good looking (it's the truth :) ). My passion for racing came alive during my first trip to Bristol with my daughter and two friends, now known as "The Race Girls." Bristol under the lights, the thunderous sound, and Jeff leading part of the race ... that lead to an even deeper love of racing and of course Jeff Gordon - all other drivers pale in comparison to him in my opinion.
How long have you been a Jeff Gordon Network (previously Fan Club) Member?
2006
What is your favorite Jeff Gordon collectible?
My black Jeff Gordon leather jacket that he signed on May 4, 2008.
If you had a day to spend with Jeff Gordon; where would you go and what would you do?
I would take him on a picnic to wherever he wanted to go, maybe a deserted island.
What is your favorite Jeff Gordon memory?
The very first time I saw him win! Mother's Day 2007. We had tread threw the mud and rain all day the day before and the race rained out. But the skies cleared and we came back on Mother's Day and low and behold he won - even with smoke coming out of the car the last few laps! I was on fire with excitement!
What is your race day routine?
Get up real early, try to figure out which Jeff shirt to wear, pack the car, meet the "Race Girls," and head to the race. We get there in plenty of time to tailgate, shop, and have a great time.
What is your favorite part about being a Jeff Gordon Network Member?
The best part about being a Jeff Gordon Network Member is that is how I have got to meet Jeff twice!!! Andrea won the chance to meet him in Charlotte in May 2008 and in Richmond in September 2008. I had always dreamed of meeting Jeff. When it happened, it was an even better experience than I imagined. He was super-friendly and interactive - seeing him play Rock Band at Charlotte was a rocking experience! I won something at both events as well - I was definitely lucky those days! Oh and at Richmond, I tripped coming on stage to meet him and fell in his arms. I was so embarrassed! Some people thought I planned it, I didn't but I did enjoy falling in his arms!
If you got a chance to race at a NASCAR track, which one would you choose and who would you race against? What name and number would you give your car?
I don't know if I really want to be the driver - I think I would like to just be the passenger in Jeff's car at Bristol! We could beat Dale Earnhardt Jr. under the lights!
Why should you be chosen as Fan of the Month?
Because I've got a passion for that Number 24 and everyone that really knows me knows I love Racing and that's the only sport I watch. I think Racing is the largest sport that there ever will be and thanks to Jeff - he just makes it better and better. See the photos of my office when we had sport day at work! Look closely and you will see that I have a fake Jeff tattoo on my face and a Jeff garter on my jeans!
