The reason I read this story was because when I used to watch Nascar my favorite racer was Jeff Gordon. So reading all of these new facts about him that I never knew before was intriguing to me. For instance, before I read this story I had no idea that Jeff Gordon started racing cars at four years old. I also liked how the author described the different races Gordon raced with so much detail. He really put a good mental picture in my head and I felt as if I was there in the action. Although I did like some parts of this story, I wish that it was written in the first person. If it had been written in the first person it would have been even more powerful and even dramatic. This was a pretty good story but it would have been a great story if it had been written in the first person. ( )
