DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Jeff Gordon will be in the booth and Tony Stewart in a bed when the Nascar season begins.
Neither luminary will be in a car when Daytona International Speedway opens Friday for preparations for the Daytona 500, which begins the Nascar season on Feb. 21. Gordon, a four-time champion and arguably the sport’s biggest star, retired after last season and will be a Fox analyst.
Gordon has been highly visible during his newly acquired free time. He and Stewart were on an all-terrain vehicle trip a week ago when Stewart, a three-time champion, crashed, fracturing a vertebra.
