Jeff Gordon: 4-time Cup champion and trike race master (Video)
Jeff Gordon was at the Washington Wizards game on Tuesday night and competed in a tricycle race with a fan.
Gordon is apparently very good at trike racing.
Gordon got a good start (what do you know?) and smoked the fan, who wasn’t even in the camera frame by the time the video ends.
You can tell there’s carryover from Gordon’s day job.
Gordon then had some fun with his NASCAR race restart issues after the trike race on Twitter.
“@NASCAR: First win of the season? SMOKED this @WashWizards fan. https://t.co/9KQSoA7SVw Who says I need to work on restarts?

Well done, Jeff. If the Daytona 500 comes down to a green-white-checker finish with a bicycle pedal start, our money is on you.
