He was born in California raised there for most of his life, and moved to pittsboro for a few years. I lived in Pennsylvania for a few years does that make me a keystoner, no it doesnt. Stop disgracing the state of Indiana by lumping him in as a Hoosier.

Any State wouldn't want to be known as a State where Jeffery was born, reared, lived, etc.

Never knew people found such a big deal as to where people call home. I agree that Jeff Gordon is a native Californian and don't get why h'es called a Hoosier, but I can't say that I'm going to get my panties up in a bunch b/c someone refers to him as Hoosier..Home is not necessarily where we spent the most time or even where we were born and raised..it's where we choose to call home.. Home is where our hearts are..
You ask Jeff where home is and he normally answers California..Answer where he's lived and he'll list the places.. Two totally different things..
Maybe some Prozac would be beneficial??

We get it! You aren't a 24 fan.
Saying he's a Hoosier is a way of saying where he's from. And yes, if you wanted to be called a Keystoner you could.

It is just a name people he was called a long time ago when he was younger, if Jeff did not like that nickname he would say so don't you think? If he is not taking offense to it then you shouldn't either I am not so what is the point anyway. it is just a nickname, like I am a southern because I am from the south, or redneck , it is ok because I know where I come from so I take it as a compliment. You should too.

Stop disgracing yahoo! answers with your stupid question. Jeff Gordon is the best, and Indiana should be damn proud to have him in their state, even if it was only a few years.
stop being jealous, seriously.

People say he is from Indiana b/c as a teenager he grew up in Pittsboro, Indiana and began racing on the local tracks in Indiana.
