Gordon told NASCAR.com this week that watching his 6-year-old daughter Ella Sofia driving a quarter midget go kart “terrified” him. “From a parent’s standpoint,” he said, “it’s kind of tough to watch them go around there and not have any control of what’s going on.”
But Johnson said Friday that he’s “definitely entertaining” thoughts of putting his 3-year-old daughter Genevieve behind the wheel of quarter midgets and go karts.
“In our race shop, a lot of our crewmen have their kids in karts, so I’ve considered it,” Johnson said. “I’ve been serving it (the idea) up to (wife) Chani and she’s semi-OK with it. Genevieve is all about it. She’s been very responsible on her four-wheeler. So, now, if I can find a pink go kart, I think she’s in.”
Genevieve will turn 4 in July.
