His “Drive for Five” will last one more year. The driver won his four championships in a seven-year span from 1995-2001.
In a statement, the 43-year-old Gordon, who has raced with back pain in recent years, said: "I won't use the 'R-word' because I plan to stay extremely busy in the years ahead, and there's always the possibility I'll compete in selected events, although I currently have no plans to do that."

The network argues the school is subject to the Access to Public Records Act.

In September and November of 2014, ESPN reporter Paula Lavigne filed a public records request for incident reports involving Notre Dame student-athletes. The university did not comply.
The school says they are exempt from the reach of the Access to Public Records Act because they are a private university. However, Indiana Public Access Counselor Luke Britt does not agree with that claim. When ESPN expressed concern with the school's refusal to release the records, Britt advised Notre Dame to comply with the request, explaining that though the school is a private university, its campus police department qualified as a public institution.
Reporters often file requests for public information, often to universities and police departments.
The result of this lawsuit could define how and when private institutions are subject to public transparency.
Brandon Browner hilariously defended his team’s monstrous, controversial win over the Colts.
Teams provide 12 footballs bearing their logo that are tested two hours prior to kickoff. The first under-inflated ball was noticed when Patriots QB Tom Brady threw a pass that was intercepted by a Colts defender, who then told an official that the ball felt under-inflated.

Watson, 22, later said that she was suffering from side effects of her period, and she was going to consult with a doctor to prevent this from affecting her play in the future.
"I think it's just one of these things that I have, girl things," she told the BBC. "It just happens."
Watson's remarks drew immediate praise from some in the women's tennis community, who said the effect of periods on a female athlete's performance is a common problem that is rarely discussed.
Annabel Croft, a former British tennis champion, called the topic the "last taboo in female sports."
"Women dealing with these issues at any time is hard enough, but actually trying to go out there and play high level sport... it's just really unlucky," Croft told the BBC's Radio 5.
Tara Moore, another British tennis player, told The Telegraph that she also struggles with balancing her menstrual cycle and her professional career, saying she mostly just hopes her tournaments don't line up with it.
Moore said she has nightmares about bleeding through her uniform during Wimbledon, where all players must wear white.
"If something like that happens it's mortifying – it's a nightmare," she said.
BuzzFeed News has reached out to the United States Tennis Association for comment on this issue.

Everyone knows you can’t be that good without cheating. Except for the Yankees. And MJ. And the Spurs. And Kobe. And Joe Montana. And the Montreal Canadiens. And Michael Phelps.
I'm sorry, but it's pretty deceptive to act like he was a wide receiver for that long just so that you could win a playoff game. He's clearly the second best QB in the AFC East.

Um, you think Bill Belichick didn't plan that? Yeah right. It's so much harder for another team to play in a blizzard and he knew that.

By "Rob Gronkowski" I mean "an illegal football robot" and by "somehow" I mean "they created in a lab." It's so obvious.

So Brady's biggest rival lost miserably in his playoff game because his "body is falling apart" and his "neck is pieced back together?" I don't buy it. That has Belichick written all over it.
