http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2015/1/22/jeff-gordon-2015-final-season-hendrick-motorsports.html

this sucks ive been a life long jeff gordon fan. its been coming though so i guess i was kind of prepared.

on another note im torn between kyle larson and chase elliott. chase will undoubtedly be piloting the 24 car (maybe a number change to 9 like awesome bill?) and he is showing the apple didnt fall far from the tree. and kyle larson is just downright badass in his first sprint cup season in a car that juan pablo montoya made seem like it was a joke.

oh well i hope we can go out on top celebrating championship number 5. also hes keeping his ownership stake in hendrick motorsports and he still has a lifetime contract with HMS so the door is open to run select races if he wants.

He has had a great career no doubt. I wasn't impressed with him as a person though. I was in his hospitality tent at an Atlanta race about 15 years ago and I vividly remember him being quite a dick. The other drivers around were having a good time and cracking jokes. He came into the Dupont tent and said 3 or 4 sentences and proceeded to blow off everyone that tried to talk to him for the next 10 minutes he was obligated to stay for. I would say it could have been an off day, but it fits in with what a lot of people have to say about him.

Great driver, not a people person. That's fine. By all means he was focused on his job. He lost a possible 10 year old fan that day though.

I like that Larson kid. I really don't watch NASCAR anymore though. I rarely have time to watch an entire football game, much less a NASCAR phantom caution fest.

i like larson too but i think ill go with chase elliott as my main driver. im always cheering on larson though. on another note today on sirius nascar they were having people on talking about gordons career and one of the callers was bill davis himself. he not only threw jeff gordon under the bus but he pretty much said if mark martin had not set up the car that jeff gordon would never have had the success he did in busch series.

im guessing bill is still pissed off that gordon left and went to rick hendrick instead.
