For one day, at least, the most talked-about story in NASCAR wasnt the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship.
It was the rebirth of Jeff Gordons mustache.
Hes got to grow back the eyebrows, too, Tony Stewart said Wednesday at the House of Blues, where the 12 Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship qualifiers gathered to promote Sundays Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. It was kind of a matching set.
Gordon is growing a mustache for the second time in his career, harkening back to his early NASCAR days during the 1990s when he was dubbed Wonder Boy and challenged the late Dale Earnhardt for championships every year.
My wife [Ingrid] started all this because she reminded me, and Twitterville, of the commitment I made a month ago [to grow one], Gordon said Wednesday. Someone brought up the mustache and I said, Listen, we make this Chase and Im bringing back the mustache.
Hes hoping it also brings him some luck.
