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.
