Doesn't surprise me that much, I got the impression during last year that Jeff didn't have the fire in him any more.
It'll be interesting to see what he decides to do after 2015. Maybe try have a go at some other forms of racing?

Was not surprised or shocked. It surprises me more that he decided to race this year. He made some hints that last year would be his final season.

I felt he had the most fire in him last year since 2007. Really surprised at this as he's in bonafide championship contender form so family time is the only reason I can think of for this.Sam wrote:Doesn't surprise me that much, I got the impression during last year that Jeff didn't have the fire in him any more.

As expected, Chase Elliott will take Gordon's spot at Hendrick in 2016.

Curiosity and tradition.
Watched qualifying too. Now if that wasn't a fucking farce from hell I don't know what is...

Qualifying was a farce, but it could have easily been the opposite. You don't know unless you try. At least they tried. And at least they still managed to get the 24 on pole for his final 500. That's pretty much 3 in 3 for Nascar at the 500 now then.
