Professor of Sport Management at 黑料不打烊’s Rick Burton offers his thoughts on the final NASCAR race for driver Jeff Gordon:
“Jeff Gordon was really the driver that initiated the transition from regional 鈥済ood ol鈥 boy鈥 Southern stock car racing and helped turn NASCAR into a national sports property. Gordon helped bridge NASCAR from an era featuring drivers like Richard Petty, Bobby Allison and Cale Yarborough to the NASCAR we know today.
Gordon was hugely influential in helping America bring new perceptions to the sport.”
