July Fan of the Month
I have been a HUGE Jeff Gordon fan since the early 90’s. When I started to watch NASCAR, the Rainbow Warrior #24 car always caught my eye. Thinking to myself, “Who’s driving that car?” When I realized that Jeff Gordon drove the Baby Ruth car in the Busch Series. I knew I picked my driver! He had my name on his car and I have followed him since. I have been to every Texas Motor Speedway race, except for the very 1st one in 1997. After 12 years, Jeff finally won in April 2009! My daughter and I went to the Pocono race in 2007 where he won! The race was shortened to do rain, but he won! When Jeff announced his retirement in January 2015, I knew I had to get to other racetracks to see him race his final year. My husband took me to attend the Atlanta race, Chicago race and to Homestead Miami for his Final race! I finally had the pleasure of meeting Jeff at Texas Motor Speedway this past April! He is the most respected man in this sport. I sure do miss seeing him on the race track. #24EVER Ruth Marchese Fort Worth, Texas
