Sounds like Jeff Gordon is driving his last full time season for 2015

Team Hendricks still has some of the best.

Making room for Chase Elliott to take over the 24 car.

He is going to be a great driver too.

Sounds like he will beheading to Cup ~

As far back as August, team owner Rick Hendrick was open about trying to get Elliott into a Cup car for a handful of races in 2015.

¨"I think you'll probably see him run a few races next year," Hendrick told the SiriusXM NASCAR Radio in August. "Before he ever won a Nationwide race, I watched him test Jimmie's car and Jeff's car at Nashville, and Jimmie and Jeff both commented to me, 'This kid is super smooth and super fast. He takes care of his equipment, and he doesn't get in a jam.'

"I said before he ever ran a race, I would put him in a 600-mile race at Charlotte and think he'd finish in the top 15, top 10, because he's so smart," Hendrick added. "He just understands the car and takes care of it. I think he's going to do a super job whenever the time comes. I think we'll surely, probably the second half of next year, we'll probably see him in some races."

Dale Earnhardt Jr., the co-owner of JR Motorsports and owner of the No. 9 car, has repeatedly said that Hendrick has "a great plan" for Elliott.
