It always seemed a matter of time before Jeff Gordon took on a more significant role with Hendrick Motorsports.

Hendrick Motorsports announced Wednesday that Gordon had been named vice chairman of the company.

He will be the second-ranking team official behind chairman and team owner Rick Hendrick (pictured at left, above, with Gordon).

Gordon, who already has a daily presence at Hendrick, will work alongside team president Marshall Carlson and general manager Jeff Andrews.

Additionally, Gordon joins Hendrick on NASCAR’s team owner council and will assume the Hendrick Motorsports’ seat on the diversity, equity, and inclusion committee.

“I cannot put into words what Hendrick Motorsports means to me,” Gordon said.

Gordon became an equity owner of Hendrick Motorsports in 1999 and remains Hendrick’s only partner.

In the years to come, I couldn’t be more energized about working arm-in-arm with him and cementing the future of Hendrick Motorsports together.”.
