In tough economy, Gordon would consider salary cut
By Reid Spencer,Sporting News NASCAR Wire Service, December 8
Back in the early 1990s, California-born Jeff Gordon caught a wave.
The four-time Sprint Cup champion has ridden the surge of NASCAR's popularity to a 37th-place ranking in this year's Celebrity 100 as selected by Forbes magazine, which lists Gordon's annual income, including endorsements, at $32 million, a figure Gordon says is overblown.

1975: Kevin Harvick turns 33 today. Harvick, a two-time Nationwide Series champion, has 11 wins in the Cup series and finished fourth in the Cup standings in 2008 for the second time in his eight-year career. Harvick has only 13 DNFs in his 286-race Cup career and has not had a DNF in a series-record 80 consecutive races. Harvick's last DNF was Sept. 24, 2006, in the Dover 400 at Dover International Speedway when his engine failed 34 laps short of the finish.
