FORT WORTH, Texas (Jan. 22, 2015) – Statement from Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage on the announcement that 2015 will be Jeff Gordon’s last season as a full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver.
“I’ve known Jeff since he was a teenager with a really bad mustache. It has been thrilling to watch him develop from a promising Busch Series driver into perhaps the greatest professional our sport has ever seen. Jeff showed last season that he still has a burning desire to win races and championships. You won’t find a finer professional, person or charitable athlete. We have been fortunate to be associated with him for all of these years. I’m sure all fans, even of the other drivers, will want to show their appreciation to Jeff this year.”
Gordon is a four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion (1995, ’97, ’98, 2001). He has 92 career Sprint Cup Series victories, including the 2009 Samsung 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.
