Gordon and Stewart playing for charity

Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart will gamble next month for a worthy cause. The two NASCAR champions will be among the central figures in the Jeff Gordon Foundation Poker Classic in Las Vegas on March 7-8.



Gordon has recruited a host of celebrities for the $1,000 buy-in tournament at Caesars Palace, including poker professionals Chris Moneymaker, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson and Steve Danneman.

The public is invited and encouraged to participate.



Among the charities Gordon's foundation supports is the Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.
