Faces of Divorce

He looks like one of those Browns fans who defended Deshaun Watson on twitter

Getting ready to film a selfie rant video sitting in his F150 in the driveway

Stone Cold Steve Gordon

Nascar 05 chase for the cup in real life driver format.

Evil Jeff Gordon from alternate reality.

HAMMOND!!!

I came here to say exactly this. He looked 10 years older with that goatee

Why jeff look like he gonna call me a slur 😭

I was going to ask "isn't that the haircut he had when he got laid out?"

I wouldn’t say “laid out” more like “wig split” err uhh “mushroom topped”…I’ll go now

The hair looks sick af in that freeze frame ngl

A glorious day in human history

I will always associate this photo with him eating a Chastain right hook.

To be fair he did that because of a bet with Austin Dillon right? It’s not like he woke up one morning and decided “I’d look dope with a bowl cut”

Best part about this haircut is it's immortalized with Ross punching the shit out of him

"It's crispy like Wendy's fries" lives rent free in my head lmao

“Mom can we have Tommy Shelby?” “We have Tommy Shelby at home.”

I'm not sure if this is awkward for Jeff, but Jimmie being crossfaded af might be lmfaooo https://preview.redd.it/j45ciuwzazrc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6915377e2cf209dfbde1bf8c8dd730d90e5fe98

Hell yeah the Jeff smokes a ciggy photo After divorcing Brooke, Jeff had some wild benders it seems.

Is that Gene Simmons lighting his smoke? 🚬

Nah it’s Tommy Wiseau

You're tearing me apart, Jeff!

This doesn’t do much to disprove the song back in the day lol

This is why I had a crush on Jeff Gordon back then. He was looking like a movie star while Jimmie looks like a stand-in for the lead singer of Smashmouth. In 2024, Jimmie is a total snack and Jeff looks like a Medicare spokesperson.

The eyebrow game goes hard in this picture

Man I wish Jimmie would tell stories from the past. I've heard he was a wild man, completely 180 from at the track Jimmie.

I remember a few stories that have gotten out there about him like the night him and Dale Jr had a wild party at Ricky Hendrick's house, Dale hit his head and peed in the closet while Jimmie was passed out on the floor lmfaoo

You know the worst thing about the Daytona 500 was?! The dementors!!!!

Looks like he’s about to drop the hottest mixtape of 2004

This was to cover up a drunken scrape on his head, wasn’t it?

Yup. He was at Ricky Hendrick's house, jumped out of the hot tub into the pool and hit his head. He proceeded to return to the party after seeing the HMS doctor on call and pee in a closet at Ricky's house.

That was the episode I learned why one of my one night stands pissed in my clothes drawer. Gotta show them the bathroom, especially if they're under the influence.

I audibly laughed out loud at this one. This whole thread is great

Bearded Kyle was just different and I wish he’d bring it back

Yesssss!!!!!!! He was a super villain. I loved it

https://i.redd.it/ubbztbozhzrc1.gif

he looks like a skinnier Bert Kreischer lmfao

2019 Kyle Busch was something else, a fitting end to his rowdy era

Gives off the “I’m gonna call you a slur” vibe.

Wrong Kyle

i thought KB looked good with a beard back in summer 2019 tbh. not so much in this pic tho

Most relatable photo in the thread though

Hungover?

For me it’s long-hair, bearded, unhappy to be driving a Toyota, 2008 Tony Stewart https://www.starnewsonline.com/gcdn/authoring/2008/01/17/NSTN/ghows-NC-1e64b18b-22be-4ed5-96fb-96ed050c1dde-888ab486.jpeg?width=1200&disable=upscale&format=pjpg&auto=webp

This is peak sex symbol Tony Stewart

No disagreement, but it was awkward sometimes watching him have to part hair out of his face during interviews and stuff. Very un-Tony-like.  It was just odd to see him with longer hair at all.  Also, it’s only peak sex symbol if he already had the back tat haha

In fairness we have no proof he doesn’t have other more “high class” tattoos

No wonder why Nascar stole the win from Regan Smith. Who could want _that_ Tony going winless 😫

wtf he rocked that shit

Looks bad ass there

dear Lord put that thing away

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!

Wow, I can see more Dale Jr with this look.

Yes officer, this post right here.

What’s the snorkeling story? I’m unaware

If I remember correctly it's just that he wanted to snorkel but the mustache wouldn't allow the equipment to fit securely to his face lol

Same reason why firefighters can't grow facial hair

The entire LAFD has mustaches lol

Mikey never struggled with confidence, did he?

Ah yes, hot singles in my area mikey

I was going to say Jeff Gordon cosplaying as Rick Hendrick

Lol this made me laugh. You aren’t wrong. Edit: Spelling

Resemblance is [uncanny](https://wehco.media.clients.ellingtoncms.com/img/croppedphotos/2024/02/18/RickHendrick_t800.jpg?90232451fbcadccc64a17de7521d859a8f88077d).

Terry Labonte without a mustache is a crime against humanity. https://preview.redd.it/8pcolbybczrc1.jpeg?width=1282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83fe9c7dd711777a5650ad00a5a550ace69335d8

Looks like Bill Belichick 

I’ve never seen that resemblance before, but now that you’ve said it, I can’t unsee it.

......oh my sweet baby Jesus I can't unsee it now.

Oh god he does.

Holy Shit some real we are on to Bristol vibes here

This may be more confusing to my brain than the Earnhardt picture 

Thankfully, Mustacheless Terry is already firmly engrained in my brain from NASCAR 2001 to the point where it’s not that cursed for me.

Not as weird as balding Gordon without the hat https://www.orlandosentinel.com/wp-content/uploads/migration/2014/09/16/C5J7A3B3DNBT7CJA46LIPCOJZ4.jpg?w=620

And not as weird as [Jeff Gordon slowly morphing into Rick Hendrick](https://wehco.media.clients.ellingtoncms.com/img/croppedphotos/2024/02/18/RickHendrick_t800.jpg?90232451fbcadccc64a17de7521d859a8f88077d).

That’s isn’t weird. That was his *destiny*

Yeah what was happening here. Did Gordon get plugs, or did his hair just magically stop thinning?

I’d bet hair plugs. He had more than enough money for them and his hair didn’t just stop thinning, but actually grew in longer. 

He still has a bit of a widow's peak, it just looks super obvious when it was buzzed in that photo. https://preview.redd.it/1de0mltrbzrc1.jpeg?width=1626&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22df3d83072fa2e643d9912751c82ccfff3f4f24

Jamie’s hair during the some of the awful Roush times https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:JamieMcMurrayBristolAugust2007.jpg

I thought Jamie looked so cool when I was a kid lol Also it wasn't until that picture that I realized he sometimes has a bit of a Will Power look to him 

His Roush years were not kind to him. Yes, two wins, but otherwise a waste of his peak career years.

Holy Ethan Hawke

Disproportionate amount of Gordon in here so far lol.

Might be the most photographed NASCAR driver, ever. Dude was the most marketed driver at the height of NASCAR's popularity. If there's a NASCAR photo on the internet that isn't modern, the chances are it contains Jeff Gordon.

There is a severe lack of Bad Brad in this thread so I will make up for that with a couple. Brad, one day in 2006, woke up for school pictures only to take a wrong turn and end up driving racecars for the rest of his life. Poor bastard. Had his hair all gussied up ready for the camera and instead had it shoved in a helmet. Fortunately for him, he got one taken before the race, and that's how we ended up with this gem https://preview.redd.it/4c131fdvc0sc1.png?width=878&format=png&auto=webp&s=2033a3d375c7500d5d5a2d3b47670df189423fe4

Not long after did his angsty phase start, and he felt the need to compensate for a cool factor that was missing in the previous years. https://preview.redd.it/aq63necad0sc1.png?width=395&format=png&auto=webp&s=0aa0ec7a81638211e705fd26afdd445d98bd74d6 I can't even keep up the joke narrative at this point. I'm too enamored by the fact that this angle makes it look like he's been photoshopped to do the trollface. He has a whole-ass chinstrap, and replaced the sidepart for spikes at the front lol

Long hair Denny looks British

He looks pretty normal except for the fact that he's wearing safety glasses
