Friday the 13th was anything but unlucky for Jeff Gordon and the No. 24 team. In an unprecedented move, NASCAR announced that Gordon would be added as the 13th driver in the 2013 Chase for the Sprint Cup. The news sent the Twitterverse into a frenzy. Obviously, Gordon was thrilled.
Almost immediately, the congrats started flowing in - including one from a racing legend.
Not everyone was happy, especially those in Martin Truex Jr.'s camp.
Many were having fun with the news.
There's really only one thing left for Gordon to do.
Here's a look at a few other tweets.
Wow we just gained 1250 points! Very appreciative of @NASCAR consideration on this matter as well as fans overwhelming support.

Think this is the first time I could actually hear the excitement in all of your tweets not just read them. Thank you all! #Team24

The only thing that would be more shocking right now is if Keelan actually went down for his afternoon nap! #comeonman #takeyournap

Hey @JeffGordonWeb - by my count, you're suddenly several days behind on growing the Chase 'stache. GET CRACKING. #nascar
