Does Jeff Gordon have any siblings? All you need to know

Jeff Gordon is an influential personality in the world of motor racing. He debuted in NASCAR in 1990 in the Busch Series (now called the Xfinity Series) and a little over two years later, he went on the track in Atlanta to mark his debut in the Cup Series with Hendrick Motorsports.

He continued to race with the team up until 2016 before retiring and is still associated with the team as its Vice Chairman. In all these years, it is apparent that Hendrick Motorsports is like another family for Gordon.

He originally hails from Vallejo, California. His biological father William Grinnell Gordon and mother Carol Ann Bickford separated when he was an infant. His mother then married John Bickford in 1970, his stepfather. Jeff Gordon has one sibling, his sister, Kimberly “Kim” Coykendall. She is four years older than him. Although Gordon has earned himself quite a name in motorsports, his sister has kept her life private.

Although he does not have any other siblings, he is also related to James Bickford. Gordon is Bickford's paternal cousin. The latter is also a racing driver, having participated in the K&N Pro Series in 2014 and 2015.

It is interesting to note that while four-time Cup Series champion Gordon is considered to be a superstar in the NASCAR world, intricate details of his family have been kept private.

"It's been fun. Jeff Gordon always had a great business head on his shoulder. He was always good at business. He knew the organization so well and I go back to that chemistry and that being able to grow people from the inside and character is huge and when people come visit that place, they talk about the professionalism and the character of the company. And Jeff Gordon is a big part of that," Hendrick said on the Business of Motorsports podcast. [at 29:10]
