He is a lot more of a metrosexual than say Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, Fireball Roberts and the rest of the good old crowd.

LOL. If Jeff Gordon ever showed up to drive at North Wilkesboro back in the heyday of Junior Johnson's career, they would have called him the first female NASCAR driver on the circuit.

Fireball's death was a big loss to the sport. He was basically the good-looking, young racer in the 60's, and he had alot of media appeal. And, he was a great driver. No telling what he would have done if he had survived. We have family movies of my parents taking a vacation to Daytona in July'64(a year before I arrived into the world). They went to the track, of course, but they also went to where the old beach course was(you could still see it then), and then to Fireball's gravesite(he was my sisters' favorite driver!). He had just recently been buried, as his crash in Charlotte occured just two months previous.

Since we've mentioned some legendary drivers, let's not forget the King of Darlington(to this day!), The Silver Fox .....
