I Boo'ed this man unmercifully for years, he was so damn good that he stunk up the show. I realize now that I was sitting on the front row witnessing greatness. Jeff Gordon was a generational talent and a great ambassador for the sport. I didn't appreciate it at the time but I sure do now.

Jeff Gordon is a true gentleman. Several years ago my girlfriend  (I am a widower and this all occurred before we started seeing each other) had recently tragically lost her husband of many many years. She had a friend who had worked in public relations for NASCAR and knew all the drivers. There was a race up at the Michigan Speedway and this friend invited Jana to go up and hang out the night before race for a bit. Jana was around 60, her friend was in her early 30’s. She was reluctant to go but decided to get out of the house and go. Once there, her friend found Jeff and explained the tragic loss Jana had suffered. Jana did not know any of this was going on. When Jeff met Jana he spent several hours taking Jana around on his golf cart introducing her to other drivers and making sure she had a great time. He was an absolute gentleman and fantastic human being. He did not have to this, he was not looking for any recognition, he was doing it because he wanted to help a grieving widow through a difficult time. He is a fantastic person and I wish him all the happiness in the world, thank you Jeff.

I've personally met Jeff Gordon and had drinks with him, and didn't appreciate him until then. I even told him that and we chuckled about how many times he's heard that.... great guy, and have good memories with him

Win #93 was the most epic that I saw and the crowd were cheering him hard that day in Martinsville.

NASCAR has never been the same since Jeff, Tony, Dale Jr, Kurt, and all those guys from the early 2000's retired.  What a great era the late 90''s and 2000's was!  Great racing, awesome cars... and so many big personalities!  They have not replicated this in the new era and likely never will.  All the young guys are just robots more or less.  NASCAR needs more personality that's what it's really missing.

Well that and the rules suck... there's that too.  Stage racing is terrible and nobody understands the point system.

I was fortunate enough to be at this race in Martinsville.  So cool to see Jeff's last win as a die hard Gordon fan!

I really miss seeing him out there every week,  I didn't appreciate him until late in his career.  He's definitely on the Mount Rushmore of nascar drivers in my book.

I still remember the 06 Pocono wreck, the 08 Las Vegas wreck, and the 09 Watkins Glen wreck.
What could have been

I am a semi driver. I know what it's like to spend hours in a seat, and I can understand his pain. Most people don't realize that every time you hit a bump, it pile drives your spine. That's not factoring in the accidents he has had that most people don't experience.

Stage racing is got to be the worst idea

Our family was in Indianapolis to see Jeff win the first Brickyard 400, that was a great day. Thanks Jeff.

Mett Jeff when he was still driving around 14-15 at daytona before the 500 he signed my program, such a nice guy and a legend. Thanks Jeff

This interview is so wholesome, I hope he does get an opportunity to comeback someday, my hero! ❤❤❤

I’m a long time NASCAR fan, and there has never been any racing that compares to the racing that Jeff Gordon and the late Dale Earnhardt gave us to appreciate.  Whether Jeff was on Dale’s rear bumper, or vise versa, that was two incredibly talented drivers battling each other like nothing that we’ve ever seen before.  They made each other better.  I am glad that I was able to watch those intense moments.  Great entertainment!  Thank you Jeff, and God bless you Dale! ❤

Me and my papaw was at his last race at kentucky speedway. I walked right next to him trying to get some cars signed. Even though he didn’t it was still an awesome experience and will never forget about it.

I was an Earnhardt fan and honestly I wasn't a gordon fan but the Earnhardt and Gordon rivalry was awesome it was the greatest thing for nascar and to find out that Earnhardt tought him alot of things is awsome

I met Jeff at I-55 raceway in 1987. He was racing the World of Outlaws. I was 13, he was 16. I still remember that vividly.

I miss Jeff, but Byron is making Rick proud in the #24 just picked up his first 500 as of this writing!

I met Jeff in the Dupont tent many years ago, back when people in the industry gave out hospitality tickets like crazy. We had shrimp cocktail and took pictures together and nobody cared. It was cool back then.

Great race car driver I’m so glad he’s still involved in nascar racing his knowledge of the sport is so valuable for the fans he knows what the driver is going through during the race yes it’s sad not to see him and Tony and dale jr and Kurt not race anymore I wish they would do old timers day racing like they do in baseball  that would be exciting to watch them all again

Gosh , i remember his younger years. I would watch him and some of those amazing races. I was mostly an F1 fan but always respected and would watch when i could , nascar. Seems different now, not the same as it was back then. Time moves on. I See him now and still is that young guy but father time always wins.
