Who's taller? Jeff Gordon or Tom Cruise?

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- We've always wondered about that one.

Now we have our answer: It's Tom Cruise...and by a least a couple of inches, it appeared.

When Jeff Gordon was summoned for the driver introductions, Cruise was the second man in the receiving line. Cruise clearly towered over the four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion as they exchanged pleasantries.

Cruise, however, was dwarfed by three-time and defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who Cruise treated to a man-hug.

The drivers introductions have been completed. We're about 20 minutes from going green.
