Jeff Gordon will remain eligible for the 2019 NASCAR Hall of Fame class as a NASCAR spokesman confirmed his coming out of retirement to substitute for eight races for Dale Earnhardt Jr. won’t count against the two-year waiting period for Gordon to be on the ballot. He will be eligible to be on the ballot in 2018 for the 2019 class. NASCAR spokesman Kurt Culbert: ‘Jeff’s eligibility status for the NASCAR Hall of Fame remains unchanged. The unique situation in which he drove last year was as a substitute. As it stands, Jeff can be nominated in 2018 for the class of 2019.(ESPN)
