With baby on the way, Gordon not thinking of retirement

Jeff GordonWith a new baby on the way in July, Jeff Gordon isn’t making noises about retiring. Far from it. Gordon has insisted all winter that he’s more fired up than ever this year, though his teammate Jimmie Johnson said he wouldn’t be shocked if Gordon retires from driving within the next five years.

“A five-year window? I wouldn’t be surprised,” Johnson said Thursday during Media Day at Daytona. “This is the start of his 16th year. So in 20 years, I think 20 years of doing anything you’re probably looking for a change. So I wouldn’t be shocked with that.” Johnson added that Gordon hasn’t made any such pronouncements about the future.

As for Gordon, he laughed. “I hope there’s a Jeff Gordon sitting in victory lane with a five-year-old daughter in his arms is what I’m hoping for.”
