A Qualified Success
Forget about winter testing for a moment; ignore for now the V10 controversy. The most exciting motorsport event is taking place this week in Daytona Beach, Florida, as NASCAR begins the 2006 season with the Daytona 500. And last weekend, Tim Redmayne got a rare opportunity to spend the pole qualifying session with none other than Jeff Gordon, the most successful Cup driver on the grid. It was pure magic...
It has just gone 1:10pm Eastern Time on February 11, 2006. And defending Daytona 500 champion Jeff Gordon is transfixed.
Not by any set-up changes made on his number 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Not by the constant fans and media that always surround the man who has more Nextel Cup titles than any other active driver. But by the huge plasma television screen inside his personal motorhome, parked in the infield of Daytona International Speedway.
