Jeff Gordon Memorabilia Buying Guide

By Sean J. O'Rourke

Ask anyone who knows racing about the sport’s all-time greatest and surely four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Jeff Gordon will come up in the conversation. Gordon, at age 25, became the youngest driver ever to win the Daytona 500 and was named one of NASCAR’s 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998. The four-time Brickyard 400 Champion is third in all-time in career wins behind only Richard Pearson and “The King,” Richard Petty.

This is your chance to own a true piece of NASCAR history: A framed 8x10” autographed photo of Jeff Gordon taken in Victory Lane after winning the inaugural Brickyard 400 NASCAR race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1994, including a piece of the track itself as well a piece of the same front-stretch bricks Jeff kissed some 14 years ago. The Brickyard opened for racing in 1909 and Gordon is one of only five drivers to own four wins at the world-famous track.

Given NASCAR's absolutely meteoric rise in terms of popularity and commercial success around the world, it's only fitting that everything associated with the sport has jumped in demand and value. No star has burned brighter in the last two decades than four-time Sprint Cup Series Champion Jeff Gordon. Gordon's name is often mentioned with the likes of Gretzky, Jordan and Woods as men who have transcended their sport due to their on-field (or on-track) greatness along with their ability to shine away from their sport's limelight. Jeff Gordon is arguably the most-accomplished, most-recognizable face in NASCAR history. At only 36, Gordon is considered a living legend, all this while he still competes at a Championship level in the most-elite racing series the world has ever known.

The demand for authentic Jeff Gordon merchandise has grown feverishly as collectors are eager to acquire genuine memorabilia from the 3-time Daytona 500 Champion. As Gordon continues to race his way up NASCAR's all-time victory list, his merchandise is nothing less than absolutely necessary for every single NASCAR memorabilia collection.  Here are five pieces we think every NASCAR fan should own.
