Summary

In an effort to learn more about the current charter negotiations between Cup team owners and the NASCAR organization, Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with Vice Chairman of Hendrick Motorsports Jeff Gordon. If a guest makes a repeat appearance on the Dale Jr. Download, it’s likely because they are such a monumental subject that it's impossible to cover with just one interview. That can certainly be said about Jeff, who first appeared on the show in December 2018 as he was working at Fox Sports as a commentator following his storied racing career. Since then, he has moved into an integral role at the Hendrick Motorsports organization, and provides listeners with great insight into the current talks between the Race Team Alliance and the NASCAR brass. Dale also inquires about Jeff’s thoughts on the NextGen car in Cup competition, to which Jeff details the challenges teams face in the race shop and how consistency is crucial to on-track success. The story of transitioning from the broadcast booth to an executive role at HMS is covered, which began all the way back in 2000 when Jeff signed a lifetime contract with Rick Hendrick. Dale fields a few questions from fans for Jeff, and they chat about how post-racing life has affected their at home environments with their families.
