How did Jeff Gordon get into racing?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

As you can see by his driving, Jeff was influenced by Dale Earnhardt. Jeff has talked about the man in interviews. It is not hard to see.
