"I've always said I don't want to race for the money. I really want my family to be able to be a part of it in a way that they can see and experience and be proud of what I've done." - Jeff Gordon

USA Today - Once planning to retire from NASCAR at 40, Jeff Gordon now wants to drive several more seasons with Hendrick Motorsports so his children can appreciate the success of the sport's sixth all-time winningest driver (82 victories). Gordon has a 2-year-old daughter, Ella Sofia, and his wife, Ingrid, is due with their second child in August. Full story at USAToday.com.

First Father's Day as a dad for this...

Jeff Gordon on Fatherhood
"I don't know if you really know what to expect. You know, I think that the whole thing is overwhelming from the moment that you see your first sonogram, I think that it's just an experience that you can't describe until you go through it, and then all of a sudden when the baby is born, you know, that emotion and that feeling that you get, responsibility and being proud and excited, you know, just there are not words that really describe it. And then you sort of get initiated into a club. It's an elite club and only people who are parents can understand it and are a part of it, and it's very special. It's a lot of hard work.

"I have a whole new appreciation for my parents and all of the parents that are out there because even the luxuries that I'm able to have, it is one of the toughest things. It's the toughest thing that I have ever been a part of, but at the same time, the most gratifying and exciting thing I've ever been a part of."

Sam Hornish Jr. and Jason Leffler are also celebrating Father's Day as first-time dads this year.
