Before Todd Gordon walks out the door at Team Penske for the last time, he joins us to do some reflecting. Gordon starts by sharing if it’s sinking in that he’s done and what Sunday at Phoenix Raceway was like leading into the race; if Gordon plans to do any reflecting on the accomplishments he didn’t focus on while they were happening; the significant race wins along the way; the change he saw in Ryan Blaney through two years; building a race car for a college class; designing zero-turn lawnmowers and the influence Gordon’s wife Amy had on making the move to North Carolina; teams Gordon worked with before getting to Team Penske; remembering his first race as a crew chief and driver names that are a blast from the past; navigating AJ Allmendinger’s suspension in 2012; reaction to the hiring of Joey Logano; the Cup championship being the biggest accomplishment; how the sport ages you over time and looking at how it’s a seven day a week job; what Gordon’s kids reactions were over the years and now that he’s retiring; competition amongst crew chiefs; needing a break and having the time to figure out what’s next.
