#24-Jeff Gordon wants to set the record straight about a proposed Formula One deal offered to him by BAR-Honda. The Toronto Sun reported last week that Craig Pollock, BAR’s former team principal, said he had offered Gordon a contract to drive with Canadian Jacques Villeneuve when the team was formed in 1999. Gordon, however, told The Sun it wasn’t quite as simple as the way it was described by Pollock. Gordon said that while there were discussions about him going to F-1, the deal Pollock offered was dependent on him driving in the CART Champ Car series for two years as a teammate for Toronto’s Paul Tracy at Team Kool Green. “There were discussions about it. I was flattered that they wanted to talk to me about F-1,” Gordon said. “But it never got to the stage of ‘Okay, you’re going to come over here and you are going to test our car and be our driver.’ “( Toronto Sun )(6-24-2003)
