2015 will be Jeff Gordon's final full-time season

Jeff Gordon has announced that 2015 will be the last year he plans to compete for the Sprint Cup championship, perhaps a year or two earlier than expected. Gordon is one of the most accomplished drivers in the sport's history with 92 Cup wins and four series championships. He has driven the #24 Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports since the 1992 season finale at Atlanta. Gordon's announcement further fuels speculation that Hendrick development driver Chase Elliott will replace him, although it is not known whether the number 24 will be kept. Some rumors point to Elliott using #94, his father Bill's number from 1995 to 2000. Whatever ends up happening, there's no doubt that Jeff Gordon has had a huge impact in NASCAR and he will be missed on the track.
