Jeff Gordon revealed

If Earnhardt fans are to be believed, Jeff Gordon is ...

... you thought I was going to write something that rhymes with hay, right? Nope, not here.

... a chardonnay-drinking, book-reading, classical music-listening, smoking jacket-wearing kind of guy.

Not true, according to one of his neighbors in center-city Charlotte. (Gordon's neighbor, btw, is involved in basketball.) Here's the scoop from the neighbor, Bob Johnson:

Q. Do you ever go knock on Jeff Gordon's door and say, "You wanna have a beer?"
A: I would knock on Jeff's door and say, "Do you want to have a Patron tequila. That's Jeff's drink. That and Red Bull. But I don't have to knock on Jeff's door. Jeff's music is so loud I can just hear it and he'll come on down. We just leave the doors open. We have a doors-open relationship. You come down to my place, I'll come up to your place. Somebody's just gotta have the Patron and the Red Bull.

I had no idea.

The full Johnson interview is here.

Hm, I wonder if Jeff knows he's supporting one of Robby Gordon's sponsors.
