Jeff Gordon and daughter Ella in victory lane
NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon led the pack yetserday and won the UAW-Ford 500 at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. Even though the 36-year-old was happy with the win, he was more excited that his daughter Ella Sofia, 3 1/2 months, was in victory lane for the first time. When asked about the experience, Jeff replied,

That was cool, Man, that brought a tear to my eye. I hope one day I win a race and her actually be able to say "You won Daddy." That would be the coolest thing ever. Just having her there was amazing and that made this win that much more exciting and memorable.

Mom is Jeff's wife, model Ingrid Vandebosch.
