The future of NASCAR took some laps in a quarter-midget go-kart this week (Monday). Ella Sofia Gordon turned laps in a red #24, and was grinning from ear to ear as her Cup Series Champion and points leader dad Jeff set her up in the car. The young Gordon will turn 7 in June, and thinking ahead would be the NASCAR class of 2025 when she turns 18, if she’s interested of course.
