NASCAR: Jeff Gordon eyeing future Truck Series race at Martinsville?

A fan asked if former NASCAR Cup Series driver Jeff Gordon would be open to driving in the Xfinity Series or Truck Series in the future. Will he?

Four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon, 46, retired from full-time Cup Series competition following the conclusion of the 2015 season.

However, Gordon came back in the 2016 season and drove in eight races as the replacement for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the #88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet after spending his whole 23-year full-time career driving the #24 Chevrolet for the team.

Gordon, who won his four Cup Series championships in the 1995, 1997, 1998 and 2011 seasons, was recently asked whether or not he would consider returning to NASCAR to drive in an Xfinity Series or Truck Series race.

Gordon, who won 93 Cup Series races, which is the third highest win total of all-time, in 805 starts, also drove in 73 Xfinity (Busch) Series races and won five of them. However, he never drove in the Truck Series.

Here is what he had to say about potentially driving in the Xfinity Series or the Truck Series in the future.

When Martinsville Speedway officials hear his answer, here is what they had to say about Gordon potentially driving in the Truck Series there at some point on Twitter.
