NASCAR Driver Jeff Gordon Parks Private Jet in Favor Of Savings
Gordon, who like most NASCAR drivers owns his own airplane, has taken to flying commercial this off-season and estimates he’s saved more than $100,000 by using US Airways.
“I’ve always hated spending money on private planes and travelling, that’s why I’ve taken commercial flights and am going to take more of them this year,” Gordon said Wednesday during a media visit at Hendrick Motorsports. “You are going to see me on your flight going to some races this year.”
Gordon, who spends a good amount of time at his New York City residence, travelled the same LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte route one day before a USAir flight made an emergency landing in the Hudson River.
