It’s a tough business,” said NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon, a Hendrick executive.
“I think you need to win races whenever you’re at HMS,” he said. “But certainly nobody has made me feel like I’m on the hot seat. There’s never been a single conversation with a single person that has questioned anything to do with that at all. It’s all been, what do you need, how can we help you, how can we support the team.”
“The concussion and then to straight away go break my back after recovering from that and then to just tremendously struggle through last year and kind of lose our way a little bit, it was really difficult,” he said.
