47 Years Old and now in the HOF Beautiful 😭😢 #24ever

Congratulations to Jeff. Man, I hated you, in the beginning, being an Earnhardt fan but you earned my respect with your talent, smarts, and professionalism. I will always believe you took a championship from my beloved and late driver but you won fair and square. NASCAR is better for you being a part of the sport. Thanks for all of your contributions and hours of entertainment.

That was beautiful. I was born in 1982 near Darlington Speedway and raised near Charlotte Speedway. I still remember, growing-up in the 90's, how Jeff was an outsider as the Californian good-looking kid who dared to compete with the Carolina legends who made the sport. It took a long time, but he earned respect. He earned it, not just because of the wins but because of the way he treated the sport with such pride and awe. He basically became an adopted Carolinian, and that is high praise.

You will always be my favorite racer GORDON!! 21 years now.. Nascar isn't the same without you.

I was 10 years when I started watching Jeff I’m 34 now and I will always always! Be a fan of Jeff Gordon

I Was A Big Jeff Gordon Fan Since 2001

I've been a fan of his since the early 90's

Jeff made me proud to be a fan week in and week out. Forever my childhood hero

Jeff is such a great guy I watched NASCAR as long as I can remember but when Jeff and Jimmie were winning races week in and week out, I should’ve appreciated it more, he’s such a great guy and has done so much for the sport congrats on the Hall of Fame Jeff

Class act guy.. great speech.. 24ever

This was a truly amazed by his speech you are champion,legend and now Hall of Famer as well! Congrats 24fanForever!

Awesome he always been a great person for years yet to come 🙂

A true icon of the sport i was a fan of his growing up happy to see him in the hall of fame congratulations Jeff Gordon

Jeff, you're a huge reason why I became a NASCAR (& JG) fan back in '99. Thank you for being my childhood racing idol.

Atta boy Jeff!!! You are the best, I'm so blessed to be able to see you race. And win your 93 races with your 4 championships. I didn't miss one race from 94 to your last year in 15 and didn't miss when you filled in for Earnhardt Jr. Will always be my only NASCAR driver I root for.....go Hendrick! Will miss seeing you race man!

Congratulations Jeff looking forward to you this year in the booth

Congratulations to one of the Best drivers to ever get behind the wheel. #Respect

I remember meeting Jeff when I was about 10 through his fam club with my step dad who got me into loving Jeff, it was one of the best moments of my life

Jeff is definitely a huge inspiration to many people and that’s why I love the man. He’s taught people many life lessons, you can go through so much hardships in life, and still persevere in the end.

Congratulations Jeff I've been a fan since I first seen you run sprints and I forever will be thanks for all the great years.

i picked you as my favorite driver in 1997 when i was 3 years old because you had a pretty rainbow car and won all the time. in 2019, now that i have lived the remainder of your career and learned exactly what kind of driver and man you are, i have never been prouder to be a jeff gordon fan. thank you for everything jeff. thank you for the wins, thank you for the losses, thank you for being you ❤

I have never cried so much during a speech. Roger's speech made me tear up, but this one made me bawl like an actual baby. I've been watching NASCAR since 2011 and Jeff used to be one of my favorite drivers. When he announced he was retiring, I was absolutely heartbroken. I'm glad about how far he's gotten in life. #24ever

One of the greatest to ever do it my favorite driver since day one and always will be my favorite my child hood hero

Congratulations JEFF, you are the best. And thank you for all the fantastic memories. I was sad to see you retire, but happy to see you made it out alive and well. I spent many hours pacing the floor in the closing laps and talking to the tv like you could hear me. And it was all good. Again, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE FANTASTIC MEMORIES, and I still wear my favorite, Jeff Gordon hat.

Super glad I had the opportunity to be there live. What an awesome experience to see my favorite driver and childhood hero get inducted.

I can't believe he's came this far seems like yesterday always love Gordon great racer he worked very hard to get there

Don't seem like it's been that long ago I was watching "Thursday night thunder " on ESPN and this young kid was smoking everybody in usac and sprint cars every time he entered and now he is a retired 4x Nascar champ. Wow time flies

Havent watched racing since you left jeff , my favorite all time driver well deserved!

I envy his humbleness and humility. No one will ever live up to his legacy and the legacy that ray evernham left behind. They paved the way for what nascar is today. I certainly look forward to watching history be made with the next HOF NASCAR team, who ever it may be.

Motorsports icon without a doubt.

I will always and forever be your fan. You made your first start weeks after I was born. And it was an absolute pleasure to cheer you on all those years! #24Ever!

It's been a hell of a ride since the Innaugural Brickyard. It was awesome seeing a kid raised in Indiana win the first stock car race at the speedway. Thanks for all the amazing memories Jeff.

thank you so much Jeff for all the wonderful years and all the wonderful people behind all the work on those sweet cars

Was a Gordon fan from the age of 5 to 27 years old... will never forget screaming my head off when he won Daytona in 99 and 05 and whenever he won! He’ll always be my number 1 guy in nascar whether or not he’s behind the wheel!

Congratulations, Jeff. Well deserved. Great speech. A true legend of the sport.

Thank you Jeff. Wish I got meet you one day. But I don’t know anyone else out there who leaves their heart out there every day. Whether it’s racing, family or a HoF acceptance speech. Congratulations. And good luck in your future endeavors.

Thank you Jeff for giving my childhood some of the best racing NASCAR has ever seen!

My favorite NASCAR driver and my hero in the sport. Thank you Jeff for all the memories you gave a little kid from West Virginia who's family are die hard Dale Earnhardt Sr and Jr fans. And thank you for helping make NASCAR and Auto Racing into what it is today. Just isn't the same without you in the 24. Glad to hear you with Larry Mac, DW, and Mike Joy on Fox. I'll always be a fan of yours and Hendrick Motorsports for Life. PS: Thanks for giving us another 7 Time Champion in Jimmie Johnson and the 48 Team. Hopefully he'll get #8 before he retires.

Congratulations, JG! You're my favorite driver!

I love Jeff Gordon. God bless you. 24ever baby! Class act as always.

Great speech. I never could claim to be a Jeff Gordon fan but I do have to say that he was truly a class act for the sport and I am glad to see the career that he had and still has in the sport.

Pulled for Jeff since i was 6 years old. Sad hes gone but happy for him for having such a successful career and to be able to be around for his kids.

Hard to believe this year we’re entering the fourth season since Jeff retired. I’ve been a life long fan of Jeff’s and it started in the 90s when I was a little kid and would watch the races with my father and I began picking Jeff to win because he was always winning and as a kid that’s what you do, you pick the driver who’s always in first and for me that was Jeff. From then on he’s been my all time favorite driver. I miss the hell out of him and wish more than ever that he was still racing but he’s a father and that’s far more important. He probably could’ve kept going for several more years but to me it feels like he chose family and I could never fault him for that. I wish just once I could’ve seen him race in person. I went to my first NASCAR race in 2016 and unfortunately that was the first season we had without him after he retired.

I actually grew up watching NASCAR when Jeff Gordon had the flames during 2006 or 2007. He did show plenty of competition for the fans and has achieved a lot in his racing career. That iconic 24 and his nice paint schemes show something special. He was the youngest driver to win a race in the 90s having to be the rainbow warrior back then. That clip that Jeff showed had me when he said he wanted to be up there with Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip. What a great success he has and hope even more greater things come in the future for him. #24EVER

Jeff Gordon will always be one of my all-time favorite drivers. Good luck in the future..

Damn! Feel like i lost my brother, thanks for the memories...👍

What a career I'm so glad I chose him as my driver in 94 or 95ish when I was 2 or 3. Was fun to watch his whole career. Wish he would have got those 7 championships. He has 477 top 10 finishes which I think is 2nd only to the king himself Richard Petty. He has already been named the successor to Hendrick motorsports when Rick decides to step down so that really gives me something to look forward to in racing

In the 90s I didn't like him but I knew his name and he grew on me. I couldn't even tell you who 90% of the drivers today are. Yes they are that interesting.

At the beginning of his career in NASCAR no one would have ever thought he would get the reception from the fans that he got toward the end of his career. I am glad he did because he seems to genuinely appreciate it.

My favorite driver a hall of Famer. He's a talent and role model

One of NASCAR's best.
