NASCAR: Five Drivers Who Need To Close The Season Strong

Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports

Jeff Gordon

Yes, Gordon is in the Chase.

2015 will of course be the final NASCAR Chase for Gordon as it’s his final NASCAR season. Gordon made the Chase without winning a race and if he wants to remain in the Chase he will need to improve his on-track performance over the final 10 races.

Gordon exiting the Chase early in his final NASCAR season would be disappointing. Gordon not making it to Miami and also not winning a race in his final season would also be disappointing. Gordon has 10 races to make his final season a success.

Yes, Gordon is a four-time champion, future member of the NASCAR Hall of Fame and a legend in the sport. All of that doesn’t change the fact that his team has looked lost at times in 2015 and a flop of a performance in his final Chase would be disheartening for all of those who are a part of Gordon Nation.
