Tom.....Jeff has a lot of things against him. California born, he started racing at age 6 in quarter midgets. His family moved to Indiana to advance his career. By age 15 he was racing and winning in Sprint cars, 800 horsepower fire breathing beasts associated with "real men."......and he was "The Kid." He went to NASCAR and became friends with Dale Earnhardt at his peak and then proceeded to take his crown, something Dale's legions of fans could never accept or abide. He passed Earnhardt's win total this year and will soon takeover the record for modern era wins which are getting harder and harder to come by.
