That 24 Chevy in the background is boss
i like to picture him taking it on a milk run
Jeff admires Kyle and its awesome. He doesnt see him as one of his drivers, he views him as a present day super hero. What an amazing boss.
Calm down
I think it was Dale Jr who said Kyle is the best driver he’s ever seen.
Jeff himself in the day could have rocked at Indy. Likely living through Kyle for sure.
I remember Jeff talking about Kyle Larson back when Kyle was driving the #42 and Jeff was still driving . That Kyle was the most talented driver he had ever raced against other than Tony Stewart.
Cross collaborations like this are so incredible for motorsports as a whole. Love it
Jeff is speaking 100% owner and wanting to do it but living through Kyle. I hope all works out well for young money .
So proud of Rick and you Jeff and of course Kyle, being a huge fan of yours Jeff watched you every Thursday Nite Thunder and followed you to Nascar, but now watching you be such a huge support system for Kyle is outstanding. What a exciting time for all of us again also a huge fan of Kyles can't wait for Sunday, GOOD LUCK TO KYLE AND ALL THE TEAMS 17 AND THE 5!!!!!!
Jeff's looking a lot better than he did a couple years ago
Jeff had defiantly put on the “Covid 30”
You would think he would be more stressed but he looks cool as Ice ❄ water full of ice cubes Jeff Gordon is awesome at HENDRICKS super Glad what him and Chad Kanus have done still got love for J.J but Don't pull for LMC Jimmy sold out 😂
@@MichaelWilliams-vb6wr every time I say LMC in full I feel like I need to put on a monocle and a top hat
🤣🤣🤣@@anareel4562
He has tv make up on
Go Kyle! My guess is Arrow McLaren was happy to hook up with HMS for this
'H1100' event!!
Jeff is really steering the ship in a great direction!😊
GOAT. If you disagree, you just don't understand the level of talent it takes to do what he's doing right now. No better wheelman in the world right now, maybe ever!
Sorry, but Mario Andretti is the GOAT. Always will be.
GOAT ignores all those that came before, Kyle is a great driver, maybe greatest driver in our current time.
@@anareel4562 oh I included them. When you look at the level of competition, to do what Kyle's doing in today's world, im not sure it can ever be duplicated. Yes there are a handful of greats before him, but they would race and maybe 10 cars would be on the lead lap. Look at all the milestone races hes won, against stacked fields, all very well funded cars and teams, all the technology to level out the playing field, and if he shows up, hes the favorite to win. Mario and Stewart said the same thing about Kyle in 2021, so 2 of the greats that are still alive agree with me.
Max is the best driver right now
@@drewrockwell8000 who? Whats he race? I honestly have no idea who max is
I did not that Rick Hendrick actually bought a car off of Arrow McLaren , Thanks, I just learned something new today 😊
Me too
Great post, NBC!
Ive been a fan before he went to Hendricks, met him at a local dirt track
NASCAR championship teams, Daytona 500 winners, 24 hours of Le Mans special competitors, now Indy 500 competitors. Next for Hendricks? I want a partnership with Ray Everham and bring back IROC.
I wish Jeff did The Double. I always wondered why he never did it
In Jeff's era all the team owners were much more tight about letting their "franchise" drivers drive anything but a Winston Cup car on Sunday.
He would have been competitive for sure. I’m old enough to remember him coming up. He was amazing on dirt just like Kyle. That was before sims and practice tools. He is way to modest. I think Jeff is wanting to expand Hendrick past nascar and also making it a brand. Most owners don’t like things like this
If Kyle doesn't receive the most popular driver this year, then I know it's rigged. What he has done for NASCAR is priceless. I've never paid attention to Indycar, but this past month I've soaked up every second of film I can find.
Nascar is garbage the whole thing is rigged anyway so it just doesn't matter then some trivia I read somewhere that Stevie Ray Vaughn actually wrote Pride and Joy for Mike Joy
Andretti would be a fool not to take Kyle Larson to F1.
Make it Happen Mr Hendrick!
F1 will never let an Andretti team on the grid now.
Unfortunately the sanctioning snobs at F1 have shut Andretti out even though they have met all requirements. Never mind they have been a part of Formula E since it started and have won championships in it, fielding 2 cars. I’m thinking it has something to do with some of the existing teams being concerned with the new competition and feeling threatened by how well Cadillac has been doing when they run WEC races, and the typical “American cars and motor sports suck compared to F1” attitude a lot of Europeans have.
@@djplayskeys Andretti will be in F1 in 2025. Bet me.
He does not have the super license points and Andretti will not get his loser team into F1 before 28, if GM has the brains to build a F1 power plant.
@@ronbelanger4113 I'm guessing you missed the interview Andretti did at Indy last week. He claims they will be in F1 next year and their car has been under development and will be ready.
It's 30 yrs Jeff won the 600, his 1st career win in 94
If anyone could do it! It’s prime Jeff Gordan!
This is great insights!!
That background music is way too loud
Thanks Jeff 😎
Us in Sactown are all,in for this effort and glued to the TV
Why is music playing over Jeff talking?
Jeff Gordon was my driver ❤now Kyle Larson he is a great driver he can drive anything praying 🙏🏼 for his safety he loves racing hope he can do both races he always has a great attitude smiling ❤You can tell Jeff is excited about the race ❤
I didn't know he was doing both. It slipped my mind cause we haven't had a drivers doing this in a long time!
Stop with the background music.
Random thought: Mike Meyers has a striking resemblance to Jeff Gordon...
Honestly? I would LOVE to see a movie focused on Jeff Gordon with Mike Meyers either as lead or having a role portraying him, kind of like other athlete movies we've seen lately...
Sprint car drivers got hired to be in the drivers like AJ fort Bobby Unser Gary bettenhausen Don pappy Branson and many others
Whoever done the audio for this must have hearing problems as the music is clearee than jeff most of the time. Otherwise great segment
Go on Floracing and watch chasing 200 , Bryan Clauson would be sitting right there too.
We gotta get Gordon over to Goodwood Festival of Speed!!
This! Take the famous T-Rex over! It is probably the most recognized stock car besides Earnhardt’s black Goodwrench #3.
@@djplayskeys I watched a race with Jimmy Johnson wheeling a 60s Cobra I believe to a 4th place finish in his first start. Good stuff.
Jan Opperman,[ THE ORIGINAL OUTLAW] raced in Indianapolis 500, 4 times. But unfortunately he died racing sprint cars..... and at the time my DAD was the best Sprint car driver in US history.[ You can see him at the Sprint car Hall of Fame in Knoxville]My Uncle Jay Opperman, died in 1970 racing sprint cars in Knoxville. And in 1971 Jan Opperman wins the Knoxville Nationals.
this sunday, the day of the indy 500 the storm prediction center has outlined and area for potential sever weather, all hazards on the table. so to those at the track keep and eye to the sky. hopefully weather behaves. just a heads up
Legend has it jeff Gordon's hero is kyle larson. 😊
Father gray is creeping in on Ole Jeff. :)
Let's go Kyle!!!! You can win it all Champ!
The background music during this is horrible. I’m trying to hear Jeff’s thoughts. Not hear B reel music.
Kyle is better then 18th . Hope he gets a shot at running the double next year
I'm pulling for him to double up!
My granddaddy love this dude. I always respected him and what he did. But growing up I was a Dale fan. Jarrett not Earnhardt.
Obnoxious loud background music. Why even have that in there?
Kyle Larson is a great story, I hope he has a great Memorial Day weekend.
I'm just always up for a guy to do the double. It would be great for IndyCar if a dark horse won!
Put Larson in a top fuel nitro car for a season that would be AWESOME!!!
Hope rain doesn’t ruin it. May it be delayed till Monday
Biggest shock was Mr. H has never been to Indy?
Should be a good Indy this year. I stopped watching NASCAR when it got silly
I stop watching Indycar when it got silly
Four left turns only has always been "silly".
Sorry folks, Kyle is NOT a stock car driver. Just like SuperTex, Tony and Jeff, he is a SPRINT CAR racer first and foremost. You ask any of those guys what do they love the most, what cars do they prefer to drive, where did they start at, and ALL of them will tell you sprint cars on dirt. Jeff, Tony and now Kyle went to NASCAR because of the paychecks, NOT because they prefer driving a 3400# barge with fenders. Those guys, along with Mario and AJ are open wheel sprint car racers at heart. Period. Its just that sometimes you gotta go do a job that pays the bills first. You ask Smoke and Jeff BOTH their biggest regret, and both of them will tell you its not trying to get their face on the Borg & Warner trophy. Because them fellas are sprint car racers. Ive talked with AJ about this for hours and he agrees with me. Kyle is a bonafide dirt track sprint car guy and he belongs at Indy, not in some rolling billboard with fenders.
Can you imagine Kyle winning this Indy his first time? I know it might be a far off thought but man qualified 5th on pole his first Indy Race he might have a chance. I pray the Good Lord surrounds Kyle by his guardian angels and keeps him safe. Then race the Coca Cola 600!!! Go Kyle!!!
Bell would be right there with him given everything that Larson got, Bell just got shut down by Gibbs!! Give Bell Truex’s ride and his dirt career back and we’d have 2 great ones capable of doing it together…
Foyt and Andretti!!!
Larson to McLaren F1 please!
How many super license points does he have?
If there was one guy that could win in both races I would think that Kyle Larson could win both.
❤
And he thinks of bubba Wallace as a “……” so that works too.
Now you got petty with 200 wins 7 championships dale earnhardt 7 championships 76 wins jimmie johnson 83 wins 7 championships jeff gordon 93 wins 4 championships then you got larson who no doubt is literally a prodigy of a young jeff gordon he's literally the modern day jeff gordon and Tony Stewart I see him easily winning 3 or 4 championships and 60 plus cup races I personally think kyle larson will surpass the king and intimidator for greatest all round race car driver of all time
Mario was a one hit wonder. Why put him in that class. Wha wha
You could train him a couple months and he would fly a jet
85% chance of rain sunday at indy :/
Let’s hope and pray it stays away. If the race is delayed TK will drive it and Kyle will just go to Charlotte. They made that decision since Kyle is leading the points in Cup.
@@djplayskeysthat sux
Jeff Gordon not racing indy500 was a mistake
Would have liked Jeff to drive an Indycar before he retired... Oh well...
Me too........and Indy was a race I thought he could really win...... disappointed about that also.
@@Fighterjetsteveof1well, he does have the most wins at Indy of anyone that has raced there.
@@djplayskeys the topic here is Indycar......not NASCAR. Jeff Gordon never drove an Indycar in the Indianapolis 500........or ever raced an Indycar that I know of.
Go Motor Mouse 17 5
Comparing Kyle Larson to Mario Andretti is like comparing a kitten to a lion.
Jeff has gained some weight
Not everyone's going to stay the same weight forever
Normal as you get older. The weight seems right for his age and figure.
Larsons the only racing story in the world this weekend.
Double racing,,, this is nothing new,, Larson would not be the first....
Larson will wreck out around lap 30.
He’s that good, making you a hater. 😂
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Kyle Lawson ❤❤2024
I want Larson to win it. If not, I'd like to see Helio Castroneves make history.🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
He’d then tie Jeff for most wins at Indy. Would be ok, Helio is a good guy.
@@djplayskeys Who would tie Jeff for the most wins at Indy? If Helio wins that would be number 5 for him. Helio wouldn't be tied with anyone.
Larson is in asscar for the paycheck He loves real racing
That why he races everything he can Hope he wins Indy cuz that what he is really after
Choke 600 boring
thats funny they took the money .. what pathetic parents
Erm... what?
