Crazy to see Jeff as the wise older man since we have watched him since he was a kid. He is definitely a class act!

I LOVE that Gordon totally gets it. He's smiling inside with the knowledge that this is cup racing and this is what makes it what it is.

The nostalgia just hit me in the feels right now.

My older brother worked for Ford Quality Care in the mid 90's and became a fan of Dale Jarrett when he rocked the red white and blue QC scheme. I always looked up to my brother growing up, which got me into Nascar and wanted to be a fan of DJ as well.

But there's something about growing up in the 90's, as a kid, with the love for fast cars, colors that stood out, young talent which sparked my interest right away with the badass racing name of Jeff Gordon!

Seeing this video of Jeff's interview sparked so much nostalgia! Just hearing him speak, brings back so many memories of his past racing interviews, as well as when times where youngsters like many of us didn't care about anything else in the world but waiting for Sundays to watch him take on the toughest names in Nascar, and looking forward to staying up late at night Saturday nights watching races like the Coca Cola 600 in Charlotte!

I appreciate Nascar and HMS for allowing Jeff to show his input in situations such as many that he had back in the day and giving his honest opinion on the racing situations!

We miss you as a driver Jeff!

The smartest thing said here “I wasn’t in the car…I was not the one driving they have to settle it out there”

Time is crazy I remember when Jeff Gordon was 29 and racing for his 4th title like it was yesterday 😭

I'm a Joey Logano fan but I tell you I respect the way Jeff Gordon responded to the questioning, he's a class act!

[danovereasy]

Spoken like a true CHAMP! Miss seeing you race JG

The man! Great to see Jeff. Would like to see him race an xfinity race, Won’t happen but would like to see him on the track one last time.

I remember seeing Jeff Gordon bump Rusty Wallace out of the way at Bristol. I remember seeing dale Earnhardt Senior do it many times. Why is everybody acting like this is something new that hasn’t happened before.

[Xulriic]

The man himself, miss seeing you behind the wheel.

[Harvst]

Holy shit, I am starting to feel old. Even though Jeff still looks great, he got so much older.

[samiam]

Jeff told most of the truth, the 24 was very loose or 22 doesn't catch him. The 24 checked up a lot in that turn and I think he got hit more than the 22 expected to hit him. Last lap you can expect anything and I think the 22 was intending to bump him but less if he didn't checkup like that.. No skin in the comment, I always want the 9 to win.. Good to see Jeff again.

[waymonhutto]

That move was straight out of Gordon's way he raced in the day.

[stevevet]

As Harvic quoted: I get paid to use my bumper and I'm going to use.

[nobodyjones]

He’s smiling because he knows he would’ve done the same thing

[SPIndy]

Joey did it today the way Jeff’s old rival used to do the bump and run. That’s how he earned the nickname the intimidator.

[mattlincoln]

God I miss him on the track. Always class act.

[ILikeRice]

Jeff Gordon is slowly but surely turning into Rick Hendrick

[moderndimension]

Not defending either driver, but it almost looked like Byron lifted and Joey was just closing too fast to avoid contact.

[aquahombre]

It's kinda funny to hear Jeff Gordon talk about being aggressive. I watched him beat the bumpers off of cars to win a race.
