Jeff Gordon Talks Racing Against Teammates

Auto racing tends to have more rivalries than other sports, especially amongst teammates; NASCAR, Formula 1, you name it, there are deep-seated rivalries between most of the drivers. NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon knows a thing or two about racing against teammates, and not letting rivalries get to you.

Speaking post-race in Las Vegas, Gordon spoke on the important lessons he learned early on. “When I came to Hendrick Motorsports, it was ‘Race Hard, but don’t wreck your teammates,” said Gordon. “You want to go race your teammates for wins and settle it among [yourselves].” The Hendrick Motorsports vice-chairman said that the team raced “clean” but “very aggressively” towards the end.

Gordon spoke with defending champion Kyle Larson about his racing against teammate Alex Bowman. Larson admitted that he was “trying to get to the outside of Alex,” but Gordon claimed he thought Larson “pushed a little too hard on the outside.” According to Gordon, Bowman stated that he “drove it as hard as he could.”
