Jeff Gordon has left Fox Sports to join Hendrick Motorsports as vice chairman

After six seasons as a Fox Sports analyst, the four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion will become vice chairman of Hendrick Motorsports, the team where he spent his entire driving career.

Since 1999, Gordon has had a stake in the team.

“I cannot put into words what Hendrick Motorsports means to me,” Gordon said. “In many ways, it’s my home and the people here are my family. I’ve never lost my passion for the organization, for our sport, and for the sheer challenge of racing and winning at the highest level. Being part of the competition is where I’m happiest and feel I can make the biggest contribution to the continued, long-term success of the team. Rick and I have a shared vision, which is based on the values he’s instilled, the culture he’s built and our desire to be the very best in all categories, on and off the track,” Gordon said in a statement on the move, which officially takes place on Jan 1, 2022.

Gordon will be the team’s second-highest executive, behind owner Rick Hendrick, and will work closely with the organization’s competition and marketing teams on a daily basis.

“Just like he did on the track, Jeff distinguished himself as an all-time winner on the Fox Sports team. While we are sad to see him go, everyone at Fox Sports wishes Jeff continued success,” Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks said in a statement on Gordon’s departure.

Gordon has not been replaced by Fox Sports, however Clint Bowyer has been added to the broadcast team as an analyst for the 2021 season.

With 271 Cup Series victories, Hendrick Motorsports is the winningest team in NASCAR, with 93 of those coming from Gordon.
