NASCAR: Breaking Down Jeff Gordon’s Final Run

The curtain has closed once again for four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon after coming home in sixth-place at Martinsville. Gordon’s return to NASCAR was unexpected for his fans but they certainly enjoyed every moment of it.

Gordon getting back into the car in 2016 was weird at first. Watching him driver the No. 88 machine with the No. 24 machine on the track was odd, but then it wasn’t. A couple of races in, Gordon fans were simply happy to have their hero back on the track, something they never imagined would have happened at the beginning of the season.

In the end, how did it go?

Was Gordon’s time in the No. 88 machine a success? Was he the right driver to run the races that he did or should Alex Bowman have run all of them. Let’s take a race-by-race look at what Gordon was able to do in his return to NASCAR in 2016 and you can be the judge at the end.
