WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Jeff Gordon's wife has filed for divorce after seven years of marriage to the four-time Winston Cup champion, The Palm Beach Post reported Saturday.
Brooke Gordon said the marriage is ``irretrievably broken'' in court papers filed Friday, the newspaper said. It did not specify the problems.
She and her husband are considered the highest-profile couple in NASCAR, appearing together in commercials and magazine articles.
Jeff Gordon, in Darlington, S.C., for the Carolina Dodge Dealers 400, would not elaborate on the report Saturday.
``I hope you guys can respect me at this time,'' he said. ``We're going to say something next week about it.''
Telephone messages by The Associated Press to Gordon's lawyer, Georgia Newman, were not immediately returned Saturday. No one answered at the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts office.
Brooke Gordon is seeking exclusive use of the couple's oceanfront home, valued at $9 million, as well as alimony, two cars and periodic use of their boats and an airplane, the newspaper said.
Gordon's 32-year-old wife also wants her husband to continue to pay the salaries of their housekeepers, maintenance workers and chef.
Jennifer Brooke Sealey was a Miss Winston when she met Gordon in victory lane after a race at Daytona International Speedway. They married Nov. 26, 1994, and have no children.
Jeff Gordon is in his 10th full season in Winston Cup. The 30-year-old driver has won four championships, 58 races and more than $45 million in prize money.

Hailing from Indianapolis myslef...I have always been a fan of Jeff Gordon (and Tony Stewart) and to me anyway, It looks like Brooke is taking him for most of what he's got :frowning:
On another note: Brooke is back on the market...maybe I stand a chance now
