THE NEED FOR SPEED

Racing star Jeff Gordon is hot. The youngest Winston Cup Rookie of the Year, the youngest winner of the Inaugural Brickyard 400, and the youngest Winston Cup champion, Gordon always knew he wanted to drive fast--and he meets that challenge every time he hits the tarmac.

In NATURAL BORN WINNER, author and journalist George Mair reveals what makes Jeff Gordon tick, what turns him off, and what makes him such a phenomenon. Is it his number 24 Monte Carlo? The Rainbow Warriors? The stepfather who paved the way for his success? His beautiful young wife? The millionaire sponsors? Or does he simply have an amazing gift for victory?

A must for every racing fan, NATURAL BORN WINNER tracks Jeff Gordon from his childhood in California and Indiana right up to the '97 NASCAR season, providing valuable insight on the man behind the hype!
