    Jeff was my favorite driver growing up, and seeing the legacy he's had over the years is amazing. Now with Byron in the car they've had tremendous success and having Jeff back at HMS now in the office is much needed not only for HMS' future but for NASCAR's future as a whole. Having Jimmie back in the sport and Jeff leaving the booth for the office were two big moves that'll help the sport's growth this year and beyond. Jordan and Pitbull being owners the couple years have definitely helped it with 23XI and Trackhouse respectively. Having very talented young drivers like Harrison Burton and Sheldon Creed in the developmental series (Xfinity and Craftsman Trucks) are also very important.

    • @devonmartinez780

    Jeff Gordon is right up there alongside Jordan, Shaq, Tom Brady, and Jeter. Athletes who were so great and iconic that they transcended just being popular in their respective sports to become household names. Hasn’t raced in a decade but is still called upon by NASCAR to be an ambassador for the sport on a national platform. That says a lot.

    @lynnstallbaumer897 Год назад +1

    Nascar is dying, My opinion on what needs to be done to fix it.
    1.Cars must remain the same color scheme the entire year. I turn on the race now and I have no idea who is leading or who is in the current screen and can not immediately or eventually recognize the cars. Usually after a few minutes I see where my drivers are running. Then fire up youtube and watch a 80s-90s or early 2000 race and then return to the current race at then end.
    2. No downforce and about 1,000 horsepower. An interview with Carl Edwards asked him if he would come back and run just a couple races, his response was if the package was zero downforce and about 1,000 horsepower he could get excited about that. THis crap of a car trying to pass another as soon as they get close it aero pushes. There is no good side by side racing for more than a corner.
    3. On restarts the lap down cars on the inside row. Some of the best racing is someone trying to get a lap back or someone trying to keep them a lap down.
    4. If you cause a wreck you go to the back of the lead lap cars intentionally or not. The BS of the demo derby at the end.
    5. The interview needs to return to victory lane. The wives family etc needs to be included
    6.Scantily dressed females that look like ladies of the night need to put some clothes on or not be in victory lane. What decent wife would want to deal with that.
