Seriously, though why does it matter? Do you think there's something magical about being born a Hoosier?

if its the same follow the corn vidoe im thinkin of u are sadly mistakin. he says right in the interview that his shop and things r still in cali. also states how much he appreciates the fact that brisco is able to help bein from indiana area. as far as the track record goes....hes a very good driver and has raced at terre haute. he has raced at alot of tracks. u only have to race at a place once to set a record. nothing that says you have to do it every week for the record to be valid... again lets ask DG if he would claim indiana..doubt it

settin a track record means nothin by the way. are legacys made on how many track records you have OR wins and championships. not that DG isnt buildin a good rep. but i think that was a silly statement trying to prove something about him because of a track record..i watched kasey kahne set the track record at bulls gap last year in a winged car....but by the end of the night everyone had forgot about that after he wrecked out of the race.

He does have a shop and stuff in indiana, he talks about how quickly the deal came together with trying to secure everything to make the move fulltime to indiana... and i think you are partially correct, i think he would say he is a hooiser by way of California... and all i was saying was he has been comin to indiana for a long time actually cause that track record run was in 2003 i believe...

I hereby propose the first amendment to the constitution of the United States of USAC (Not affiliated with USAC). As it being necessary to establish uniform criteria for the Hoosier adoption of foreign(non-native Hoosier) drivers, this first amendment shall set forth the requirements for drivers to be titled "Hoosiers" and thus represent the racers of the State of Indiana. It shall not be a requirement that said driver be born in the State of Indiana (This shall henceforth be known as the Jeff Gordon clause). Any driver, human or non, from any geographical location of the universe, who meets the following requirements, automatically becomes, without further ado or processing fees, a genuine "Hoosier", certifiable by the United States of USAC (Not affiliated with USAC).
It is now proposed: 1) Driver participate in a non-USAC sprint car show at each of the following tracks: Gas City, Putnamville, Bloomington, Terre Haute, Paragon, Kokomo, IRP, Lawrenceburg, Eldora(OH).
2) Driver participate in a UMP modified event at Montpelier and Brownstown
3) Driver need not give consent to be called a Hoosier
4) Driver need not run a USAC race
Who is so inclined to edit or second this proposed amendment?
You forgot a track way down in southern Indiana. Ever hear of a place called Tri State Speedway? One of the best tracks in the country located in Haubstadt Indiana
