The best run was 24th at Daytona in the season opener.

Despite limited racing, Gordon finished 25th in points.

Driving the Sticks 'N' Stuff Ford she finished 26th in the Discount Auto Parts 300 at Daytona International Speedway and 12th later that year back at the Food World 300 at Talladega.

Her best run with the team was a 26th at Pikes Peak and her best start was a 30th at Darlington.

Her first start for JRR was at Daytona International Speedway, where she finished 32nd.

Gordon made 10 of her next 11 attempts before failing to qualify in five of her last six, which led to her release.

Starting 38th, Gordon was able to avoid a massive pileup on lap four.

In the 3M Post-it Note Ford she finished eighth in the Pork, The Other White Meat 400 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway and 35th in the EasyCare Vehicle Services 100 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte NC.

Gordon crashed out of the EasyCare Vehicle Services 100 and suffered leg and foot injuries causing her not to race or practice until September of that year.

After starting 42nd, Gordon stayed in the race and finished 28th.

However, without full sponsorship, the team decided to start and park, finishing last (43rd) after only competing one lap.

Her next race was her best career outing.

Tina Gordon (born March 14, 1969) is an American former stock car racing driver and spokesperson for the Sticks 'N' Stuff furniture chain.

She is related to neither NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon nor Robby Gordon.

Gordon began racing cars in her husband Gary's short track stock car in 1995-1996 at the Green Valley Speedway.

She won all six events that she entered.

She drove the locally based No. 96 Colby Furniture Chevrolet into the field with a 42nd starting position.

They bought a hobby stock car and competed at Thunder Valley Speedway during 1997.

In her rookie season, she finished tenth in points with 11 top-ten finished in 18 races.

She sold her insurance agency and began racing full-time in 1998, first at Green Valley then at Birmingham International Raceway.

She moved to the NASCAR All-Pro Series in 1999; she finished 20th in touring truck series' points.

Gordon debuted in ARCA on October 20, 2001 at the Food World 300 held at the Talladega Superspeedway driving the No. 22 Sticks 'N' Stuff Furniture Ford.

Gordon made her Busch Series debut in September 2001 at Darlington Raceway.

In 2002 Gordon competed in four ARCA races, two driving the renumbered No. 66 Sticks 'N' Stuff Ford and two driving the No. 66 3M Post-it Note Ford.

She drove the No. 22 Bost Motorsports Chevy in the 2003 race at Talladega Superspeedway.

Gordon entered 2003 with the intent to run for NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year.

She ran for the No. 31 Brevak Racing team with limited sponsorship from Scotch Tape and Microtel.

However, the team did not qualify for all its races and Gordon only completed 11 before her sponsor ended her run.

However, Gordon did well in those starts.

In 2004, Gordon made another start at Talladega, this time driving the No. 10 Sticks N' Stuff Chevy for Davis Motorsports.

For the rest of 2004, with sponsorship from Yahoo!, Vassarette and Microtel, Gordon secured the No. 39 Jay Robinson ride.

Also in 2004, it appeared that during the Food City 250 in Bristol TN, Greg Biffle purposely crashed Gordon out of the race on lap 89 in retaliation for a slight bump to his left rear fender a half lap earlier.

In 2004, Gordon transferred over to the No. 13 ThorSport Racing Chevy, with sponsorship from Microtel and Vassarette.

However, the deal quickly ended and she only was able to run five races.

After being released from her ride at Jay Robinson Racing in 2005 she retired from racing.

Gordon competed in barrel racing, rodeos, and horse shows.

She qualified 5th and finished 10th, just behind future NASCAR journeyman Casey Mears.

From there, she drove home to a 10th-place finish, completing all but one lap.

She earned a top-10 in the race, where all but 12 cars were damaged or destroyed in the lap four crash, one of the largest in NASCAR history.

She finished 13th at Charlotte and at Nashville and finished in the top-20 three other times.
