Who will fill Jeff Gordon's shoes when he retires in a few more years?

Question

Even though he's not my driver I do have to agree he is a big part of the sport and has a lot of fans. Who will Hendrick have in the 24?- (just a guess)

Answer 1

i'm betting they'll lure Clint Bowyer away from RCR. He's doing great again this year, with the right team behind him, he will win more than once a year.

Answer 2

Anthony Green is my bet.

Answer 3

No one will be able to fill his shoes. He will be remembered as a legend, others will be compared to him, but none will be able to take his place. As far as the 24 car, that's still too far away to speculate.

Answer 4

i emailed him, and asked if i could drive the 24 car when he retires....he said OKIEDOKIE!!!

LETS GO..i'll do it!!  If im not in 1st...i'm LAST.

Answer 5

Brad Kesolowski is a good driver and has a lot of potental, You can see it in the nationwide series. But hopefully it'll be a long time before jeff retires.

Answer 6

They should try to get Kyle Busch back

Answer 7

I will always fear the day one of my favorite drivers retires and...hopefully Gordon doesn't retire soon. But I'd say that time will come in say another 5-20 years but he will stop being successful within the next 10 like Ricky Rudd or Dale Jarrett.

Answer 8

NOBODY could ever fill his shoes!

i'll admit, when i first started watching, i really disliked him. but now, after learning more about him, i realize he's a great driver & a great person too. (but that still doesn't mean i'll completely cheer for him in the race lol).

& as for the 24...i think it's too far away to have any guesses yet.

Answer 9

How do you know he is retiring in a few more years?

I don't see that happening at all.  If I had to guess it would be more than 10 years away.  

I also don't know what has to be filled when in that amount of time we won't know how many titles other drivers have or their accomplishments to know they are ambassadors of the sport.

Answer 10

Thems mighty big shoes to fill......As far as who would take his place if he does indeed retire in three years like he has hinted....maybe an up an coming driver? It will be interesting.
