Nascar Star To Test Bar.
British American Racing is likely to give NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon his first run in an F1 car, but the American has admitted that his future continues to lie with stock cars.
Gordon has always expressed a desire to try a grand prix car, and BAR boss Craig Pollock has apparently been in contact with the multiple Winston Cup champion for some time. A test drive now looks imminent, but Gordon has denied the rumours that he could drive for the new team in F1 in the future.

(If I was making a serious effort at F1, I would have been doing Formula Ford about ten years ago,) he told the NASCAR magazine Winston Cup News, (because you need somebody with experience in that type of car, on that type of track. You don't just go and compete with those guys.)
(As much as I'd like to drive an F1 car just to see what it's like,) he continued, (I don't plan on doing it. My worst season was my first in Winston Cup. I won the Rookie of the Year title, but I can't imagine doing another season as a rookie. Psychologically, it's too difficult.)
