Gordon's main reason for stepping out of the car is his painful spine problems. Getting tossed around in a racecar doesn't help that issue.

That is about all I have in common with Gordon - a bad spine. I had three surgeries last year and now have rods and screws in my back. That is why I can't go to the races any more because I have a lack of mobility - after going to races about 20 - 30 times a year for 55 straight years. Sadly I am done. Very upsetting for me.

Like Gordon did, I am contemplating retirement too.
