ESPN.com news services
A woman who claims to have had an affair with four-time Winston Cup champion Jeff Gordon is posing nude for Playboy. She has also recently appeared in Mystique Magazine.
Deanna Merryman, who has worked as an actress and a model, says she met Gordon in 2000 in Palm Beach, Fla., according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Merryman reportedly discusses details of her relationship with Gordon in the October issue of Playboy.
"He got married when he was 23 and has been on the race track since he was a kid," she said in the interview, according to the paper. "He used to tell me all the time that he never had a chance to have fun."
Merryman says Gordon left her for another model after an 11-month affair. A spokesperson for Gordon declined to comment.
Gordon married to former Miss Winston Brooke Sealey in 1994. Brooke Gordon filed for divorce in 2002, citing marital misconduct on Jeff Gordon's part. The divorce was finalized this year. Brooke Gordon received at least $15.3 million as part of a divorce settlement.
