The National Enquirer reports that Jeff Gordon's wife Ingrid Vandebosch is afraid that her husband will have a back spasm during a race that will lead to a grave injury.

"She feels he's been lucky until now and wants him to get out from behind the wheel for good while he's in one piece," said an "insider."

According to the story - and let us not forget this is The National Enquirer - Vandebosch hopes Gordon will retire at the end of the season. Wearing the black hat is NASCAR, which The Enquirer says is doing everything in its power to keep its popular driver happy.
