Jeff Gordon's Divorce...interesting stuff here!

[glhsfan]

Look at this...from The Smoking Gun!

This is the divorce petition filed by NASCAR star Jeff Gordon's wife, who claims that the couple's marriage has been "irretrievably broken" as a result of the race car driver's "marital misconduct." Brooke Gordon is seeking an "equitable distribution" of the couple's considerable assets, which include luxury homes, boats, fancy cars, and a corporate jet. On March 15, Brooke Gordon filed this Florida Circuit Court petition in West Palm Beach, just up the road from the waterfront mansion the couple shared in Highland Beach. (5 pages)

You all believe the stuff she wants! IS SHE CRAZY OR WHAT? DOES SHE DESERVE A $9 MILLION DOLLAR MANSION AND A $8 MILLION DOLLAR FALCON 200 PRIVATE LEARJET AND A MERCEDES SL 600 AND TO BE SUPPORTED FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE....??

[3bolt main]

guess its a good thing they dont have kids and yeah i can believe that brooke wants allthat in a few years when jeff has even more she'll be back for half of that too like daddy told me "boy you should have kept it in your pants" funny how the media isnt blowing this one out of perportion

[sanborn]

Don't want to get into this controversy too much; but, in the state of Florida the term "martial misconduct" can mean a lot of things. It can mean anything that takes one partner away from the other more than the the second partner thinks it should. It means that business, race cars, fishing or anything else can be the reason for "martial misconduct". It does not have to be another woman, it could be but doesn't have to be.

I think that's all I am going to say about this.

[Chargerdude]

She's crazy!!!!

[9dodge]

She's a women that knew what she was doing.
Ride jeffie to the top and then bail with some dough, and no kids and not have to work.

We all know she was HIGH MAINTENANCE!

[Maxwedge]

I was afraid this thread was going to be some "Gordon is Gay" BS...UGG Rednecks seem too concerned about things like that.
anyway
She is to women what "Playboys" are to men. But he set himself up for it. If you see a bus comin and stand in front of it, dont you deserve to get run over?

[3bolt main]

im sorry for the sarcasm...i didnt really mean that jeff was cheating on her but if his racing business is "marital misconduct" then she should get nothing since thats where the money comes from and im sure she knew that a racer especially a high profile winston cup driver like jeff has certain responsibilities to his sponsers and endorsements she did just like donald trumps ol'lady(s) gonna take him for all he's worth just wish the judge uses common sense and tells her to get a job me personally i would like to see jeff sell everything for a buck and give her .50 cents. he'll make more later :D (shame of it is she does have a nice ASSett):p

[Stoga]

This divorce has already had unforeseen consequences. Imagine my surprise, to realize that I actually have sympathy for Jeff Gordon! I never thought that could happen....;)

[QuickLiquor]

No Big Surprise to me. I'm a bigtime NASCAR fan and watch every race faithfully and let me tell you the only time you EVER saw Brooke Gordon was when Jeff was in Victory Lane with a big fat check. EVERYBODY knows shes a gold digger. Seems to me that after being married for over seven years with no kids and then files for divorce due to "marital misconduct" it only strenghtens my belief that Jeff is even less "straight" than i ever believed him to be (not saying he's gay, thats for you to decide). I dont like him and probbly never will but i will say this much , he's a very talented racecar driver but he also is a very lucky one. No matter what happens to him he usually comes out on top. Hopefully he'll set an example and drivers wont make the same mistake he did by marrying a freakin "miss asphault" beauty queen (or whatever her tiltle was) from the track who are only there for one reason, and it aint a husband.

My 2 cents worth

[Maxwedge]

Oh God:rolleyes: maybe the guy just wants to wait until he can pay more attention to the kids than work? ANd if they were really interested in covering it up, she could easily get pregnant by some other dude...as a matter of fact IF she knew he was gay, I bet she would have a boyfriend...oh my god you got me doing it..ARG
The real reasons for people to not Like Jeff Gordon(the Gay thing is so lame, got any Proof???)
1) He isnt a southerner and he winns all the time.
2) he doesnt have a dumb nick name like Buckshot or Earl.
3)He isnt common looking or ugly
4)He had a hot freakin wife
5)He gets paid alot of money
6)He doesnt have a southern accent(hes a Yankee..for those that care)
7)Hes not a redneck...
8)he isnt your stereo typical Nascar driver

[GaryS]

The real reason some of us don't like Jeff Gordon: 1. He broke a contract with Bill Davis to drive for Rick Hendrick. 2. He accepted Ford's help and support for years with the goal that he would become their premier driver in Winston Cup, but he broke that trust also. 3. He is whiny and has the personality of a gold fish. 4. He is revered by the media so we get to watch his car constantly even when he is a lap down. 4. A large percentage of his fans are obnoxious in their adoration and incapable of understanding why others do not believe he is a god.

That said, I don't care if he's as gay as Liberace, or as Yankee as Abe Lincoln, or as rich as Bill Gates. He is a great driver, who had a beautiful wife, but I still don't like him, and it has nothing to do with prejudice or envy...merely a personality preference and a distrust of people who fail to honor a handshake promise.

[Maxwedge]

1)I am a drag racing fan, Nascar is of mild interest. But nothing major since those cars arnt stock or even influince what I drive in any positive Horse power way...not that drag racers do eith..
2) For someone to come up with this whole "he is gay"conspiracy...there has to be more behind it other than, Gordon isnt handshake trustable, and he is winey(sp?)...
If thats all the bad things you can say about a guy, probably half of the racers fit that description. Envy is the only real reason people would spend so much time blasting the guy?? Envy is the only real reason that they would put so much Venum into it. There probably hasnt been so much Venum spewed at a racer as at Gordon in the past 50 years. And its all unfounded and irrational. If you have no proof, shut up...
The amount of Venum is not proportinal with his flaws...sorry the reason given dont wash with me JMHO

[GaryS]

Yes, it's obvious you don't follow Winston Cup racing, or you wouldn't say JG has the most venom spewed at him than at any other driver in 50 years.

Display of dislike is normal and not new, and there are always driver's who manage to earn that dislike. Darrell Waltrip was universally despised because of his smart mouth and constant bragging when he first entered the sport. It's only in recent years that any affection was shown towards him.

Dale Earnhardt received as many boos as JG, and his were for intentionally wrecking so many people in his early years. It was only after he mellowed somewhat that he began to receive more cheers than boos at driver introductions.

Even Richard Petty had his share of detractors, but he had a reputation that was respected all over the sport. Despite what you think, more contracts in the racing business were sealed with a handshake than with the help of a lawyer. They were also honored. It's only in recent years that trust and honor began to take a back seat to big money and crooked lawyers.

I also follow drag racing, and there is nothing stock about the professional classes, and not much more in the sportsman classes.

[3bolt main]

ok enough with the arguing if jeff is straight or gay the question is does brooke really deserve all the stuff....why we dislike people is a personal opinion i never liked dale earnhart and i got real tired of people crying about it.....its a hazard of the sport that they get paid big bucks in...you didnt hear people crying over the police and firefighters who died in the line of duty until sept. 11 and you can bet shawna robinson makes lots more money then those folkes do ...and im not busting on shawna cause shes a girl either just using her as an example now does brooke really deserve it ???????? not in my book...

[3bolt main]

gary just exactly what are you considering "sportsman classes"?

[prostock]

Sure hope he has a pre nup, or he's toast.

[GaryS]

3boltMain...I was loosely referring to those stock classes that are grouped under the NHRA Sportsman category.

Yes, there are lots of street-driven cars running brackets. I've even entered my commuter 4-banger, automatic cars in the Saturday night brackets, and I've driven my son's low 12-sec Coronet, which he runs in the heavy class.

Drag racing is loads of fun, but I can guarantee you the adrenalin doesn't flow nearly as much as running in circles. I had the opportunity to drive a Winston Cup car around Texas Motor Speedway with the Richard Petty Driving Experience, and will never forget what if feels like to be behind the wheel at over 150 mph.

[Maxwedge]

"Boo"ing someone and making up some BS conspiracy are two completly Different levels of hate..

[3bolt main]

Gary let me say this first i hope you didnt take my question the wrong way wasnt trying to start trouble just wasnt sure what you meant by sportsman class cause i consider sportsmen class to be the stock classes in the nhra including comp and super comp, down to super or pro gas i wouldnt take any thing away from "tail chasers" as i too have been through the petty experience i just like the acceleration of speed probably would chase my tail if werent for the guys who make you replace fenders every week got enough problems keeping drive lines for my car no time for body work too

[GaryS]

Maxwedge, I don't know where you are hearing all these "gay" charges about Jeff Gordon! Once in awhile, some moron will make that comment, but it's not something brought up often on racing forums, and I've never seen it published anywhere.

I see far more posts making groundless, derogatory comments about those of us who live in the South than I see from Southerners making derogatory comments about Jeff Gordon.

I don't care about anybody's sex life as long as they don't come to me and make it an issue.

[3bolt main]

Gary, i dont see anywhere in these posts that maxwedge accuses jeff gordon of being gay seems to me that somebody else eludes to it and maxwedge was hoping it wasnt "another gorden is gay" thread he seems to refer to it as a BS conspiracy a couple of times and as far as the REDNECK thing it aint nesessarily refering to "southerners" as rednecks are everywhere in this country i know im sticking my nose in where it dont belong but you are after the wrong guy and the original question remains unanswered does brooke deserve all that or not

[GaryS]

That's my question! Where is anyone making the charge that Jeff is gay? I frequent a lot of racing forums, and it is not a topic of conversation, yet it's suggested that "rednecks" are making an issue of it.

I just get a little irritated with the constant reference to Southerners being rednecks and the rest of the country being the cultured chosen. If you believe the redneck term is used for those who live in the North, you are one of the few who believe it.

Here is part of the post I'm refrerring to. Call me thin-skinned, but I see a few snide comments about the part of the country I call home.


"The real reasons for people to not Like Jeff Gordon(the Gay thing is so lame, got any Proof???)
1) He isnt a southerner and he winns all the time.
2) he doesnt have a dumb nick name like Buckshot or Earl.
3)He isnt common looking or ugly
4)He had a hot freakin wife
5)He gets paid alot of money
6)He doesnt have a southern accent(hes a Yankee..for those that care)
7)Hes not a redneck...
8)he isnt your stereo typical Nascar driver"


Stock car racing started in the South. Now some folks from other parts of the country seem to think they have to join our sport yet want to change everything about it. They proceed to insult those who started it and complain about the fans who do not adore their favorite drivers.

As for Brooke being a gold digger, suffice to say she considered her financial future when she began dating Jeff. I can't look in her heart, so I don't know who is at fault . Time will tell.

[3bolt main]

OK Gary, i see your point about some of these comments The real reasons for people to not Like Jeff Gordon(the Gay thing is so lame, got any Proof???)
1) He isnt a southerner and he winns all the time.
2) he doesnt have a dumb nick name like Buckshot or Earl.
3)He isnt common looking or ugly
4)He had a hot freakin wife
5)He gets paid alot of money
6)He doesnt have a southern accent(hes a Yankee..for those that care)
7)Hes not a redneck...
8)he isnt your stereo typical Nascar driver"

number one not all great drivers come from the south /most have because thats where nascar basicly started/ i agree number two guess that ones a little predjudist/along with number 6&7 lots of backwoods northern boys are known as bubba and bud / i also dont remember cali being a chosen side of the civil war now as far as im concerned you are showing your own predjudist by calling it "our sport" and make it sound like anybody but southerners are outsiders
and as far as the term redneck you should see all the idiots up here who actually proclaim to be one they even advertise it saw alot of it in colorado too and alot of those people migrated there from cali. ok maybe maxwedge was refering to southeners i'll leave that for him to answer but when i refer to rednecks im refering to those uneducated backwood asses that feel the world rotates around nascar & hunting doesnt matter where they are from im sure i just insulted alot of people with my comments but i've never been known for my political correctness. if you feel that the term redneck applies to you then....................... if it doesnt then we just spent alot of time for nothing my reason for not likeing jeff gordon is simple HE DONT DRIVE A DODGE;)

[Stoga]

my reason for not likeing jeff gordon is simple HE DONT DRIVE A DODGE;)
I gotta say, that works for me too!:p

[GaryS]

Yes, I think stock car racing can rightly be considered a Southern sport, and Southern drivers do hold a slight edge in wins. I did a quick check and of those drivers who won over 20 races, only 2 are from the North or West, and those two handsome gentlemen account for 84 wins between them versus 1308 for the 25 uneducated, ugly, back-woods bubbas on the list.

You ask if I consider myself to be a redneck. Well, I guess y’all are going to have to judge that. I was born and raised on a farm with no running water and no electricity. I attended a one-room country school for eight years. I attended high school, but never went to college. In my younger days, I worked in the fields every day and my short haircut gave me a sunburned neck, so I guess I looked the stereotype. I still live in the country and the only sport I follow is auto racing, so that fits too. About the only disparaging thing you mentioned that I don’t do is hunt, but since I did that in my youth, I guess you hit it 100%!

Since we determined that I’m a redneck, you may now consider my opinion less worthy of respect and everyone should feel free to insult my intelligence, looks, sexual habits and marital choice. My dogs are also rather dumb looking, so have at them too.

Unfortunately, my so-called prejudice in calling Winston Cup racing as “our (Southern) sport” doesn’t really apply. I’ve been following the sport since the Daytona race was held on the beach, and that’s why I refer to it as “our sport”. The Johnny-come-lately-bunch started showing up in the last 10 years...about the time the cars ceased being anywhere near stock. I contend the regional prejudice doesn’t apply because I was born and spent over 50 years of my life within 100 miles of the Canadian border.

I guess Bubba-ism is contagious, because my cousin's lookin' pretty foxy, and I'm getting a burning urge to change my na

[3bolt main]

Gary all im really saying is not to take the redneck thing personally. i grew up in rural western virginia (not west viginia--dont have any problems with them either) in a small town called Brookneal about 75 miles from south boston(where the burton brothers are from)worked a farm on Patrick Henry's last homestead in Red Hill where he is buried, pulling brightleaf tobacco, not a johnny come lately either cant say i watched them on the sands of daytona(that only makes you old not a redneck ....not that there is anything wrong with being old either.....as old age and treachery will overcome youth and exuberance................... but i've watched nascar since it was grand national and busch was late model stock..... moved outside of Richmond Va. where Lenny Pond's house was on my way to school went to school with his kids(Lenny(Kent)jr and Lenzie) watched Sonny Hutchins tear it up at southside speedway and i worked at Junie Dunlevy's shop when he had the truxmore sponsership......still i've never considered myself as a redneck....always associated rednecks with bigotry and narrow mindedness(mainly towards "african americans" evidently you went to school and learned something we've carried on a discussion for couple of days now over a machine that you and i probably never imagined would ever exist...i apologize if i've ruffled any feathers...and i never called y'all ugly.... HOOTER's started down south also...now your dogs ..well....;)

[3bolt main]

OH Yeah Bubba, dont change your name to Earl, Gary is much better as Johnny Cash said "name him Bill or George anything but Sue":p :p :p

[MoPaul]

What does she deserve?
Well, Chris Rock said the following about O.J. "I'm not saying he should have killed her... but I understand."

[3bolt main]

ha ha ha ha ha :D :D :D :D

[mopartodd]

If it's my wife, no she doesn't deserve it.


If it's jeff's wife, sure, why not. Give her what she wants.

I always wondered about them. Seeing them in victory lane together, she would come over and he would peck her on the cheek like he was kissing his sister or something. Guys, put yourself in that position. Would you only kiss her cheek, or would you lay a good old Roto-Rooter kiss her. I'm not saying he's gay, just a strange little dude.

[3bolt main]

Hell if i had just won Daytona they would have to censor the first 30 minutes of the interview when i found my wife in victory lane just like WHEN i win bracket finals gonna have to stop me to give me the trophey:D :D :D :D

[modracr41]

Now, I think I've seen it all! I can't believe that anyone would stoop so low as to post a copy of a person's divorce petition on the web.
I personally do not like Jeff Gordon. I think he's a spoiled brat with some sort of personality complex. He will pull some underhanded stuff when it suits him and cry foul, then, when it backfires, he's a victim.
With that said, this divorce is their PERSONAL business and for them to iron out. He married her and supported her knowing all the while it could lead to this. Let him take his lumps like a man, and GET OVER IT!! Besides, he doesn't even drive a MOPAR. Why are we reading about it HERE?

Just my two cents and ............................See ya at the track!!

[3bolt main]

too bad modracr it also happens to be public knowledge and considering that jeff is a very public person it is one of those prices you pay for fame you could have skipped over this thread but you chose to read it so.............obviously you had some of your own morbid curiosity going on by the way i understand that it is your opinion and i'm sure glad you stopped in to express it jeff would be a great driver if he were in a DODGE:D :D :D :D i've discovered that pretty much MOST Winston Cup & Busch drivers are a bunch of whiners most of us dont like these giys because of it and the fact that they drive something other than a Dodge. some people like the drivers..... me i pull for the car dont care who drives it or who the sponser is....just my 2 cents with a couple extras in there for luck...........why is it we have to put our 2 cents in but we only get a penny for our thoughts?:rolleyes:

[modracr41]

3bolt main, no, I didn't say that Jeffy boy was a good driver and I wish he was in a Dodge. If you got that from my post, you must have mis-read something. I think he's a prima donna chebby punk that cries foul when things don't go his way. He ALWAYS has an excuse and he ALWAYS has a good car...........just listen to him. Secondly, I heard about the post from a friend of mine that read it and I thought he had lied about seeing that here. I couldn't believe that anyone would stoop to that level. I guess I was sadly mistaken. The final point I was trying to make was that I could have read about Jeffy's divorce on ANY NASCAR or racing site. I didn't expect in a million years to see that on a MOPAR site. Anyway two cents for two thoughts and ............................See ya at the track!!

[3bolt main]

no, I didn't say that Jeffy boy was a good driver and I wish he was in a Dodge. If you got that from my post, you must have mis-read something ......definately didnt get that from your post what i read in your post is what you said YOU DONT LIKE HIM i agree I DONT LIKE HIM EITHER CAUSE HE AINT IN A DODGE like all WC drivers they all swear they had a car capable of winning and they feel bad for their crews who worked so hard to get them thereand they would like to thank god first and then thank their sponser yatta yatta yatta most NASCAR interviews are the same and originaly this post was in off topics forums but since it is a poll to see if BROOKE deserves all she is asking for........... answer the question ........... but we do thank you for expressing your opinion of JEFF.................................... and i couldnt find any info on the NASCAR site guess they are minding their own business:D :D

[3bolt main]

what better a place to make fun of a chebbie drivers misfortune than a competitors (MOPAR) chat? chebbie likers would feel sorry for the non DODGE driving sorry good for nothing excuse making low down varmit cause he wont be tagging that no more :p :p :p

[bestfishwife]

Well, gee. All I was doing tonight was logging on (a brand NEW Mopar chat member) to find out how fat a set of tires/wheels could be put on our recently inherited 1972 Dodge Charger (I think we have been convinced to go with 275/50/15 on 8" wheels--Nascar style wheels, of course) and then I get all mixed up in this Jeff Gordon thing.

All I have to say is: soon-to-be ex-wife seriously appears to be a gold digger and PLEASE no more comments about his personality being that of a gold fish-----by my name you can see how it would be that I feel it necessary to defend the GOOD NAME OF FISH everywhere!!!


Love N Big, Wet, Red Lipstick Kisses, but keep that tongue in your own mouth.

[3bolt main]

sorry bestfishwife didnt mean for you to get caught up in this especially for a new member just happened to come in at a bad time ps.....my gold fish has lots of personality as does any MOPAR fish WELCOME ABOARD and thanks for getting to the point about Brooke

[FILTER]

for what it's worth, I heard that he had messed around with Britney Spears. She was a guest of his at the Daytona Race. We all know that that is probably bullshit.

[3bolt main]

like his car he can only run them so many years????????? had to trade for a newer model??????????:D

[3bolt main]

Jeff is now counter suing say she dont deserve all shes asking for cause he is the one who risked his life to aquire it .............

[glhsfan]

While agreeing that his marriage is "irretrievably broken," Jeff Gordon denies his wife's divorce claim that he is guilty of "marital misconduct," according to this petition filed yesterday (4/10) in Florida's Circuit Court. Responding to his wife Brooke's March 15 lawsuit, the NASCAR star also argues that he is entitled to more than half the couple's marital assets since he has made "extraordinary contributions to the acquisition of the funds as a result of his hazardous, life-threatening occupation."
