NASCAR: Top-10 Moments From Sprint Cup Awards Ceremony

NASCAR Drivers Pay Tribute To Jeff Gordon

Coming into the night it was clear that a lot of the focus was going to be on four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon. Gordon leaving NASCAR is equal to the likes of Derek Jeter leaving baseball or Michael Jordan leaving basketball. Gordon did things for NASCAR that changed the landscape of the sport forever.

One of the tributes that took place on Friday involved a handful of drivers paying respect and taking some fun jabs at Gordon.

The above video was just one of the many touching things that NASCAR and others have done for Gordon this season. It’s hard to put into words what Gordon has done for the sport and future generations of NASCAR drivers. While the perfect words might be hard to find, these words will do the job until we get to the top spot on this ranking.
