Hate him or love him, Jeff Gordon is one of the best. And his retirement speech is probably one of the most emotional I’ve ever seen.

also a super nice guy. i met him at a sponsorship event at a race when i was a kid (one of my moms friends was a high up for one of his sponsors) two weeks after the race i get a random box and it was a bunch of memorabilia from him- signed used race helmet, a few of those diecast cars sighned just stuff like that which was super cool for him to do

Arguably THE BEST!! Always hated him as a kid growing up in the 90s because he was a Chevy driver and because he was so goddamn good lol. But he became the elder statesman of the sport of NASCAR as the years went by and I don't think there was anyone who didn't respect his greatness and everything he accomplished. Gordon was a once in a lifetime type of talent.

The first person I ever idolized as a little kid was Jeff Gordon. I haven't watched or been involved with Nascar in a little over a decade, but this pretty much made my cry. What a genuine, true, real, humble human being that man is. Beyond sad I won't ever see my childhood hero race again. So beyond happy for his accomplishments.

@AJPennyPacker2 Жыл бұрын

He was mine too. Like you, I haven’t kept up with NASCAR for a long time…that Martinsville race that just happened with Ross Chastain rekindled a lot of old love for the sport for me. Now I’m watching Dale Jr. download all day along with tons of other clips from old drivers I used to love, Jeff being number 1. When I was a kid, my dad and I didn’t watch football on Sundays. We watched the race. We watched NASCAR and my dad was a big tennis player, so we watched tennis a lot too. My two heroes were Jeff and Federer. Two GOATS of their respective sports who dominated throughout my childhood, (Jeff already being established before I was a kid in the early 2000s). I remember having all the little NASCAR cars and racing them on the carpet. Jeff always ended up winning. That DuPont Chevy with the ocean blue and lava flames was always the coolest looking car on the track, and Jeff could back it up with top class driving.

Dale didn’t come into this life with a silver spoon stuck up his ass like The Pu••y Gordon. Dale would get in there and work on his cars while “don’t get my fingernails dirty” Gordon would sit in the corner playing on his PlayStation.

Tim's and Gordons starts were so similar.. movie works for both.

With that said, I remember Jeff Gordon tossing a sprint car over the fence and down the hill at my local dirt track during speedweek, when he was 14 years old, then getting right into his backup car and getting right back after it! I came up helping my uncle with his dirt late model but fell in love with drag racing and I do that on a local level to this day. However, I knew Jeff was someone special that night and he proved me right!

I'm not crying. YOU'RE crying! Class act and as competitive as they come. Glad he could walk way still at the top of his game and healthy. You did well Kid.

As sad as it was to see Jeff retire, I always enjoyed watching this. What a great speech from a great man! I'm so glad he's commentating. He's doing a great job IMO.

Jimmie should have gotten a farewell like this.

Jimmie hasn't retired though. Plus he has open dates that he can fill with some Nascar races if he wishes to do so since his Indy team also has two cars in the Nascar series. Teams are allowed to have four cars.

Even as a non JJ fan, I'd want to see him get one race when covid is gone, and get to say farewell to a full speedway.

Gordon's Reaction is priceless

@dianaberdine8864 6 жыл бұрын

I remember the very first NASCAR race I watched. Jeff Gordon, had won that race and I fell in love wit him (not literally) but my dad was a huge ass fan over him and to hear on that day that he was retiring, man, I was so sad. My sisters had met him. But through my grandfather. My grandpa was a state trooper in VA and Jeff's car had broken down and he was late to a pre-race meeting and he drove him there. Meeting him, I was dead the whole time. I almost cried. I miss him. Much love, Jeff.

Crazy it flew by! Im really not a NASCAR person. But i remember. He got alot of bs thrown at him! He seems like pretty cool guy! And the emotion seemed real! Hope him and his family enjoy the rest of their life!
