There’s good reason for Jeff Gordon fans to be ambivalent.
Sure, they’d love to see the driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet win a fifth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.
But if Gordon does snag a fifth title this year, chances are his supporters won’t see him on the track in 2015.
“If I win the championship this year, I’ve put in 20-plus great years,” Gordon told reporters Thursday during Media Day interviews at Daytona International Speedway.
“I do this now because I love it, because I like being competitive, and because I want another championship. I want to get a Sprint Cup championship.
“I go home and I look at my trophy room. I see four trophies, championship trophies. But they say ‘Winston Cup’ on them. You can name me a four-time Sprint Cup champion for technical reasons all you want, but to me, I’m still not. I want that before my career’s over.
“If that happened, that would be all the reasons I need to say, ‘This is it, I’m done.’ Go out on a high note, and start playing baseball.”
