Race car driver Jeff Gordon just made one of his fans very, very happy!
The fan, a California woman named Lorraine, lost her Jeff Gordon edition of the 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo when it caught on fire.
When she and her idol met over the summer at the Sonoma Raceway, she told him about the accident. They met through the VIP Experience, where he signed a license plate for her.
On Wednesday, he gave her his car — the exact same one she had owned — to replace the one she lost. He even signed the interior of the car, joking, "Just don’t let this one burn down."
Jeff had been wondering what to do with the car since he kept it in storage — he was speaking to his stepfather when he had the idea to give it to one of his most devoted fans. Now she's taking good care of that car and enjoying it!
We love that Jeff Gordon is so generous with his fans. Although we can say for sure that Lorraine will forever be a fan, we probably can't say the same for this car salesman. And we're sure she'll hold onto this car instead of trading it in for a Lamborghini as some have been suggesting. After all, he is retiring at the end of this season, making this gift extra special!
If you think Lorraine is one extremely lucky fan and are happy for her, please SHARE!
