Jeffery Gordon is a professional American race car driver. He was born in Vallejo, California, raised in Pittsboro, Indiana, and currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is a four-time NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion, three-time Daytona 500 winner, and driver of the # 24 DuPont/Pepsi/United States National Guard Chevrolet Impala. He, along with Rick Hendrick, are the co-owners of the #48 Lowe's sponsored team, driven by Jimmie Johnson, who won the 2006, 2007 & 2008 Sprint Cup series championships. Gordon also has an equity stake in his own # 24 team.

Born August 4, 1971, his primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Metal Pig. Although the Pig is generally thought of as a gentle sign, the Metal Pig is a fighter. He rarely backs down, and with his super charged emotions, can be a formidable foe. He has great determination and tends to be a workaholic. In a position of authority he can be domineering and inflexible. Fortunately, like Pigs in general, he usually has the best of intentions; so, people will put up with your sometimes abrasive manner.
