The inception of Gordon’s return to the track, unbeknownst to him, came when drove a 902 Cup Car Don Cusick of Cusick Motorsports had recently bought. Gordon enjoyed himself enough to buy one of his own.
Gordon called Evernham, who immediately agreed to join his friend for the weekend in a series neither had experience running. The pair has been trying to learn as much as possible in a short period of time since they’ve been at the track, seeking drivers and crew chiefs more experienced in this particular series for any additional information they can get.
“It makes you feel good because these guys are pros, and their one, two, three, four up on the board there,” Evernham said. “So when they come to say hi to Jeff and to meet me and talk about how fast we used to be, and I go, ‘What kind of tire pressure are you running?’” Gordon, 51, last raced a full season in 2015 with NASCAR. He’s stayed involved in cars since then, but mostly as an executive. He’s now the vice chairman of Hendrick Motorsports in a role that’s unlike anything he held during his career. After more than 20 years as a racer, taking on a different job on a team was an adjustment.
