This man saved NASCAR. Its stars were aging rapidly and they desperately needed someone to take the torch from Earnhardt/Petty and they struck gold when he came up.

Kyle Larson may be saving it now. After Jeff, Jimmie, Tony, Matt, Carl etc have retired, every owner is looking for the next Jeff Gordon. Once again Hendrick has 4 young guns that can fill the void. Larson will be a force to be delt with for years to come.

does the world know how much in esteem we fans hold JG ?? For us under50 he took Nascar from the "spittin, ceegar smokin, good ol boys" of the 1950's to a 20-30 year old watching Nascar for the first time and feeling there was a place for us; the environmental, "let's change the world" gen. Special guy. Besides great driver, dad, Hall of Famer, intelligent and talented speaker. He changed Nascar.

I was absolutely torn when I heard Jeff was retiring. I grew up a mega fan of him thanks to my grandpa (love you pops) but now seeing the position he’s being put in, has got me just as excited as the 2015 Martinsville win that put him in the Championship 4. I’m blessed to still be young at 21 and knowing I’ll be able to see his career grow even more and see what history he can make with Hendrick in the future. I’ll be a 24 lifer ‘til my last breath. Respect to the legend.

Brad is more of a partnership, Tony has a team? Denny has his hands full with racing and owning a team alongside Space Jam Jordan. Junior was originally meant to inherit his late father's business with Michael Waltrip acting as the face and PR of the team and the former's sister Kelly as financial advisor. Alas, the 3 were screwed out of it by she-who-is-always-a-witch to everyone. And Jeff Gordon is no longer the Kid or Wonder Boy, he is Jeff Hendrick Gordon, the VP of Hendrick Motorsports and the eventual successor for when the founder retires. No other racer can fill that role but him. I wish him nothing but the best in his new role and not let anyone drag him down

Being an old Dale Sr. fan for many years, Jeff being his nemesis, therefor by extension he was also mine, lol. I have to give Jeff props for doing such a good job over the years, both on and off the track. Hendrick will be around for a long time at the top of the sport with the great folks Rick employs, Jeff Gordon and Chad Knaus will be a huge part of that management team. Chase and Kyle as drivers will definitely be getting it done on the track well into the future. My driver, Kyle Busch and JGR as a team, have plenty of competition and their work cut out for them trying to stay atop the Hendrick crew. Looking forward to 2022 with the new car, however I would like to see 950+ horsepower again eventually, taking the aerodynamic advantage away from the leader. I wish them all God speed and a great (safe) future!

Can Jeff Gordon bridge the generation gap between the rookies and the old salters? Happy H. said he thought his problems/clashes with youngster Elliot (Chase, not Bill) were generational. I see it being a paradigm shift. But a good shift because it can be captured and used to promote the sport! Mr. Hendrick will age out eventually (yes a huge empire, but the Romans are also gone) - Jeff has all he needs to continue at that great organization esp. if he is the appointed one at HMS. But the focus to make the sport great should be the pass off between "the old/experienced and the young/blazing." I believe that HMS will keep on, Jeff or no Jeff. Let's agree, encouraging competition will keep the sport viable - we need small teams like The Wood Bros - and we need a good portrayal between the great and the rook(ie) to keep the edge spontaneous and edgy and great! BTW, this sport needs to be ota on regular free TV (no for a fee), because it is the regular working guy that supports it - do not feed the chasm!

Larson Pulled a Jeff Gordon 10 wins and a championship that's Classic Jeff back in 95. I would love to see Larson switch into the 24 car.

Jeff Gordon: *has 3 seasons in a row where he wins 10+ races Also Jeff Gordon: “I’m not as talented as Kyle Larson is…” I love this man so much

He's right. Not may are. Gordon isn't as talented as Tony Stewart either. But the difference from Gordon/Johnson and Stewart/Larson is that Gordon and Johnson could harness all the raw talent they had, apply it to the vehicle. Being a race car driver takes more than just talent. Is Larson a greater talent that Gordon and Johnson? In a vacuum, sure. Is he a better race car driver? Absolutely not. Gordon, Jimmie were smarter, have a longer body of work executing at a high level. Etc.

@@SirMan48 I see where you’re coming from, I would say that Tony and Kyle are all around better race car drivers, but Jeff is the better Nascar driver (so far) but we are still early in kyles career, and he could end up passing Jeff in certain categories. But we also have to keep in mind that Jeff was doing this type of stuff in 95 when he was 24-25, and winning a total of 40 races between 95-98 when he was 24-27, meanwhile Larson hasn’t really hit a big stride until age 28-29. But we also have to take into account that Jeff started his cup career in premier equipment, while Kyle had to work his way up through Chip Genassi and miss an entire season, so it’s not exactly possible to know if Kyle would have had more early success. But also age isn’t always an indicator of all-star success, as Earnhardt won his first cup at 29 and didn’t win the last ones until he was in his late 30s/early 40s.

@@SirMan48 Honest question, man. How does someone judge talent in a sport like NASCAR? I’m new to the sport and trying to learn more, so I’m intrigued on how we can judge one driver as more talented than another. Is it reflexes, peripheral vision, or is it something else. Honest question.

It's so cool that nascar has a billionaire owner in Mr Hendrick I bought my 2021 tahoe from one of his dealerships. Most rich owners are stick& ball sports. I'm glad I'm a nascar fan jeff is going to be It's next billionaire owner

Never was a huge Jeff fan, I loved Earnhardt, but your being illogical if you don’t recognize he is a champion and knows what it takes. Just like Tom Brady, never a big fan but now I admire him and Jeff.
