Thank God for Jeff's relationship with Sr. And his business mindset. Looks like it stuck with Gordon ever since. And now he's paying it forward by helping others.
It's because of the money aspect of things if you want a job or a sponsor you have to go by there rules basically there is no freedom of speech anymore without some sort of consequences
As a Chase Elliott fan, yes, they should let them have more personality because I'm sick of the other NASCAR fans saying "ChAsE eLlIoTt HaS nO pErSoNaLiTy!".
My dad and Grandpa raced at Atomic Speedway ( Waverly ) Chillicothe ohio. Where Gordon raced his first Sprint Car. My 2 Heroes of NASCAR Dale Jr and & Jeff Gordon..
While HMS drivers may not be the most electric in the personality dept., you can not argue with the success that has come with their way of doing things. I’m all for personality at times, but I also feel it brings distraction. Look at Hamlin, 60 wins and zero championships. As much as I can’t stand Hamlin, I won’t argue with his success driving, but I feel he brings distractions and chaos which prevents him from winning a championship and solidifying him as an all time great.
This right here is the face of the future for NASCAR. Who better than Junebug as our ambassador and the Golden boy as the heir apparent to the greatest race team in history.
Honestly what's missing in nascar right now is commercials with the drivers these sponsors need to go back to the 90's and the commercials with the drivers and learn that's when nascar was at the top of everything because of that one thing bring back the commercials
I think part of the problem is that in the 90's, those drivers were pop culture figures. Even non-race fans knew Earnhardt, Gordon, ect. Now Nascar is so far removed from pop culture that these companies don't want to invest into doing commercials with the drivers.
Dale, there was a reason you were never called out. You are not the unprofessional ass that Hamlin has been to his fellow drivers. He is and never will be the guy anyone respects in or off the track!
No more Camaro, or Mustang. Threatening EV cars to replace gas engine cars. How much more life does NASCAR have. I’m a lifelong fan , was at Richard Petty race in Toronto 1958. Been watching Wide World of Sports on ABC , the Speed Chanel . TNN , Fox , I’ve figured out internet apps to watch now, and frankly I’m not sure anyone can be life contract guys. I’m just saying, let’s pull those belts tight and go racing!
I may be in the minority, but I think an EV NASCAR cup could be the shot in the arm stock car racing needs. NASCAR is already won and lost on pit strategy, ability to negotiate a pack, and drafting -- all areas in which EV's are actually strong as compared to ICE vehicles. The biggest difference would be figuring out how to modularize battery packs, and work battery pack swaps into a pit stop opposed to refueling. Start with a limited series across road and short oval courses, and don't just rein in the overbearing regulations, start offering prize rewards for innovation. If a team brings something special to the track without compromising safety and they dominate for a race or a season, instead of banning it like NASCAR does now, cash it out and publish it for all teams to use moving forward.
You people who cry about change, feel free to leave anytime .. we'll go on without you supporting the new NASCAR.. whatever that looks like and we'll accept it like grown-ups......only ones crying about EVs in nascar are ignorant boomer fans who don't pay attention.... nascar is not going electric anytime soon...
NASCARs 90s/2000s popularity explosion was caused by the sport bringing the drivers to fans/fans to drivers...drivers run the sport. The crop we have now in NASCAR cant run anything.
Sr might have said this. "Denny Hamlin can't get out of his own way to win at being a Champion-because he isn't one mentally. Hamilin talks smart like a wise ass does..but he does not listen to smart" Dale also might have said this while smiling at the cam. "Hamlin is a great 2nd place trophy winner, cause he aint made of championship cloth..simple as that"
Godhardt also might have said he didn't need to mount his seat belts properly and then got himself killed blocking for his cars in a wicked conflict of interest. What a real man of genius that deadbeat piece of trash was.
@@dadshirt6681 i do a great Dale Earnhardt impersonation. there are those who get paid to be santa clause, then there's Me and Dale mode. ask anyone who knows me. they get the chills when im in Dale mode.
Could care less about personality, unless it's really bad, how about not wrecking each other 15 times on the last 10 laps of every race, that's a good start
I think dale jr realized that when Jimmie Johnson toned it down and was professional that’s why fans did not gravitate towards him. I respect Jimmie as a great driver maybe not the best but still probably top 10 Driver of all time in nascar. I was a Tony Stewart fan so I liked a guy willing to be goofy and pissed
Agreed. I work for a small, privately owned company, and the boss spends money as fast as we make it to show a loss every year. Diving trips to south sea islands as a business expense, etc.
This has always been why i cant bring myself to root for hendrick. A rock has more personality. And when they do show a little personality its just spoiled brat whining.
@@rebelsoul5980He is probably talking about Rick Hendrick conviction back in the 1990s and Kyle Larson’s suspension. Hendrick served his punishment and then I believe was pardoned. Larson’s incident was with Ganassi.
@@Kbrady8207Rick Hendrick was convicted as a felon that’s a fact, faked Leukemia , then he was banned from the tracks by Bill France Jr. Then he made donation rumored to be 500k to the Clinton foundation and was presidential pardoned by Bill Clinton going out of office in 1999. Rick used his money and power to get out of trouble so tell the whole story if you are gonna bring it up.

Corporations and sponsorships have people scared to even be themselves
Exactly

Jeff your a great,honest and loyal man ...I followed you around the country for many, many years thank you for all the amazing memories..your #1 fan 💜

The sport is in good hands on this side of things for sure!
Jeff got a great deal with that lifetime Contract ! He is a great leader and Racing experience to keep HMS going for a very long time.

Class of the field! All you need now would be to put JJ in the mix. Interesting!
Funny when Jeff said well it depends on sponsor as far as how Jimmy conducted himself. In other words, Jimmy was bought to walk a certain line
Atomic Speedway Jeff Gordon.. One of Gordon's first Sprint Cars is still sitting right down the road on Blain Hwy
Dale, there was a reason you were never called out. You are not the unprofessional ass that Hamlin has been to his fellow drivers. He is and never will be the guy anyone respects in or off the track!
Jeff seems like a really solid guy, and in a perfect position for him, working for the betterment of the driver's and the team.
NASCAR itself need more personality we have the 2 villain arch’s in bubba and Denny need some chaotic good
LOVE ME SOME JEFF GORDON!!! 24EVER!!
Appreciate you guys 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
God bless you and your family son..😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jeff Gordon needs to open an IndyCar team for Hendrick. If he does, he will finally get an IndyCar title. I guarantee it.

HMS = Best in the business

I've been saying the same thing for years, chase,Larson,byron, bowman, ARE SOOOOO DRY ITS ALLMOST LIKE THEY ARE OUT THERE JUST FOR A CHECK
Who cares they get paid to race not put on fake personalities to please you...
They don't have personalities. They play the snob game.
When are you going to have Bill Elliott on
I want to see fist fights in the garage every 100 laps.

@hxnter2x567 what does your 1cent brain have to say?
“Negotiating with NASCAR…”
Hmmm 🤔
yes.
Hendrick bought Jeff just like he has everything else. The way Hendrick treated Ross is why I finally stopped watching CUP after years.
Then why are you here...no one cares if you don't watch you have no room to comment..
@@truckercowboyed2638 Take care of your own business Pickle Kisser !!!!
Dale Earnhardt Jr . You sign a contract with Rick Hendrick . How did you feel working for Mr. Hendrick ?
All teams should
I think dale jr realized that when Jimmie Johnson toned it down and was professional that’s why fans did not gravitate towards him. I respect Jimmie as a great driver maybe not the best but still probably top 10 Driver of all time in nascar. I was a Tony Stewart fan so I liked a guy willing to be goofy and pissed
Jeff had personality. Ask Jeff Burton,Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer.
Yes it helps us separate the good from the assholes. 😊
While you had Jeff in the Chair you should've asked how many toes he, and/or Jimmie has. 😆
👍🏻
Doesn't matter when nascar has always given Hendrick every win they've ever had
All nascar seems to worry about is appeasing the blue hair equity crowd.
When hayday - drivers dictated the sponsors … NOW - sponsors dictate the drivers AND its boring ZZZZ’fest!
Rick is a brilliant buisnessman.
Jeff Gordon although a good driver has never been a good personality
Hendrick Motorsports may not be profitable but they certainly live very nice lives..spending everything you take in can easily make you unprofitable.
