opportunity, and I look at the successes and the failures. Prior to me being hired by Raleigh Helming to drive on ESPN's Thursday Night Thunder the night before the 500 where we set a new track record and won that race in fairly spectacular fashion, prior to that I was racing for McBride and Shoff in a sprint car in the All‑Star Series and got fired because I was tearing up too much of their equipment and wasn't winning enough. To me that moment where I did not succeed in that sprint car gave me a new opportunity to go and be very successful in a midget in a sprint car on pavement in front of a big audience that took my name from being an up and coming sprint car driver to being a talent in the open‑wheel field as well as a couple years later being a driver that even an owner in NASCAR would consider. I don't know if it was a specific moment, but I guess winning that race the night before the 500 would be the specific moment.

1153:. Bickford made it to clear to Jeff that they were not competing to try to win, but "we were there for the experience, for the laps." By the third night in Tampa, Gordon was running competitive lap times. On the final night, Gordon qualified for the C main event; he started sixth and finished second in a field of twelve drivers. With that performance, he advanced to the B main event, where he started sixteenth in a field of twenty-two drivers; he moved up to the top ten but briefly pulled off the track after dirt from the track wedged into his helmet, resulting in a seventeenth-place finish. Gordon qualified eighteenth in a field of fifty-four for the overall event.

Following his performance in Florida that week, Gordon was featured on 3171:

car to the finish in fifth place. Though he suffered another engine failure at Hickory, Gordon won the pole and finished 10th at Lanier. Meanwhile, Gordon continued to ignore requests from Graves to meet Hendrick. Desperate, Graves called Bickford to inform him about the situation, and after a discussion with Carol, John decided to call Hendrick himself. Gordon, who was waiting for Davis to put their own Cup deal together, agreed to speak with Hendrick. Gordon was impressed with the way Hendrick operated his businesses and felt confident they had a future in Winston Cup together despite having no sponsor, team, or car set up yet. Gordon was eager to pitch Evernham as the crew chief when Hendrick did not have one in mind. Amid rumors that Gordon may jump to a Chevrolet team, several folks at Ford attempted to convince Jeff to stay with them.

2561:. Gordon started off slow, so Evernham asked Bown if he could get into Jeff's car to see whether the car itself was slow or if it was the driver. Bown agreed to help and outran Gordon's initial laps, which proved the car was fast. When Gordon realized the car was capable of going faster than he expected, he went ahead and outran Bown's laps; Jeff ultimately continued to improve throughout the day and was second fastest overall, just behind Allison. As impressed as Evernham was with Gordon's laps, he was even more impressed by Jeff's feedback. Gordon felt that his partnership with Evernham reminded him of that of his stepfather. Gordon's stint in the Busch Grand National Series marked the first time in his fifteen years of racing he did not have any input or hands-on assistance from Bickford. 1149:" proved to be difficult for Gordon, who started off slowly in a field of fast drivers. When the car finally took off, Gordon lost control while making a turn, shooting the back end around and hitting the wall with the right rear tire. Gordon confronted his stepfather in the pits, believing he was not prepared and capable of racing the faster sprint cars. The features in Jacksonville were cancelled due to rain, which allowed Gordon to calm down for the night and turn his attention to the next four races in Tampa. At East Bay, Gordon was again faced with disapproval from Emrick, who had allowed Gordon to compete in the hot laps at Jax. John convinced Emrick to allow Gordon to race if he started in the back, a move that required a 3021: 3071:. When Gordon questioned Evernham and was told about the split, Jeff offered Ray to return as his own crew chief. Gordon knew he was in no position to offer Evernham the job, so he had to pitch him to Davis first. According to Bickford, Davis was not interested in bringing Evernham on, but he felt that if Ford could commit to covering half of Evernham's $ 50,000 salary (worth $ 109,417 in 2023 dollars), he would personally cover the other half. Lee Morse was sold on the deal, and felt the partnership would contribute to a successful season.

On the following Monday, Hendrick discussed the possibility with general manager Jimmy Johnson at their shop. They were under the impression that Gordon had a multi-year deal with Davis and Ford, but Andy Graves, a crew member for Rudd and Gordon's housemate, informed them this was not the case. Then Graves approached Gordon and told him that Hendrick was interested in meeting him to discuss a potential ride.

Rischitelli worked with Target in Indy racing and the company was interested in expanding to NASCAR with Gordon as their driver. The Target camp was impressed with Gordon in the meeting, as was Davis, but neither of them were aware of Gordon's secret contract with Hendrick. While preparing to leave Minneapolis to return to Charlotte, Gordon informed Davis of his intentions to drive for Hendrick following the end of the season. Davis was so shocked that he left alone to return home, while Rischitelli returned to 28: 73: 1539:. Hemling considered the win to be Gordon's "most dynamic" performance in a midget.

Gordon won a combined 15 midget races for Helmling between the National and Western States Series.
