Read that. Using Jr's minor league team as a breeding ground. That guy's chief is now JR's crew chief but you guys knew that.

IIRC correctly, Gordon was born in Indiana, so the redneck roots were there before the move to Cally.

I was impressed by Gordon's driving ability early on, especially his road track wins. I think a lot of his success was the team focus- the original Rainbow Warriors pit crew were some of the first to work out and train together, making them more efficient and thus him more successful. Great to drive for a great owner and top notch crew chiefs as well. But I pretty much rooted for the racing, never for just one driver, which is probably why I still like the local dirt track better than NASCAR
