Jeff Gordon, a four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, was taken to the wood shed in his own charity go-kart race by blond, blue-eyed, 15-year-old, up-and-coming female racer Jessica Dana.
Gordon lost to Dana, who qualified on the pole and led every lap of the “Ultimate Speed” charity challenge at Victory Lane Karting in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“I just stayed up front for the whole entire race,” Dana said. “It was fun.”
To add insult to injury for Jeff Gordon, his young nemesis has just recently started her go-karting career, in fact, a mere eight months ago.
Dana, who came all the way across the country from her home in Olympia, Washington, is a veteran driver in her own right, having started drag racing when she was eight years old.
“Last year, I asked my dad to take me to the local speedway that we have, and I was watching the cars go around,” Dana said. “And I go, ‘I really want to do this. Dad, will you get me into this?’”
