Four-time premier series champion Jeff Gordon was a guest Tuesday on “FOX & Friends,” and he discussed more details of his new job as a FOX race analyst.
“I am going to do three races this year for FOX and FOX Sports, XFINITY races,” Gordon said. “I’m excited to get in the booth and see what it’s like. Who knows what might come out of it?”
Those three races comprise nearly a quarter of the 14 NASCAR XFINITY Series races that FOX and FOX Sports 1 will televise in 2015.
When asked whether he would consider going into the booth full time after handing the reins of the No. 24 Chevrolet SS to Chase Elliott, Gordon reiterated that he’d be ready but knows he has a lot to learn this year.
“I love to travel and I love racing,” Gordon said. “I’m always going to be a part of Hendrick Motorsports. It’s not going to be like focused on driving a race car, but I don’t take it for granted. It is going to be tough to do, and we’ll see. We’ll find out this year.”
Gordon was on the FOX News Channel morning show in support of new sponsor 3M and its work during National Children’s Dental Health Month.
“This is a new partner of ours this year, 3M,” Gordon said. “You think of innovation and technology, you think of 3M, but they also do a lot of great things for charity like Give Kids a Smile. It’s about the American Dental Association, and this Friday is Give Kids a Smile Day where dentists all over the country are going to get involved with giving kids an opportunity to get dental work.”
