Gordon turned 13 and instead of getting a new bicycle or going on his first date, Gordon got a 650 horsepower sprint car. It was in Jacksonville that Gordon raced in his first big-time event, the All Star Florida Speedweeks. Though he ended up in the wall in Jacksonville, Gordon stuck with it. He entered into a dozen different tracks that year and finished in an amazing 12th place. Want that Jeff Gordon limited edition print yet?
