The rainbow car is back: Gordon to run special scheme at Bristol
If you were wanting Jeff Gordon to run a rainbow throwback car during 2015, your wish has been granted.
Gordon will drive a car similar to his iconic car of the 1990s at Bristol in August. He’s vacating the seat of the No. 24 at the end of the season and moving to a broadcast role with Fox Sports in 2016.
You’ll notice one difference right away. And it’s Axalta instead of DuPont. The Carlyle Group bought DuPont in 2013 and the company became Axalta. The sponsorship with Gordon stayed.
If you’re drawing a blank on what the original rainbow car looked like, here it is.
Now we just have to persuade Gordon to bring back the mustache for the Bristol race. He brought it back a few years ago, so we know he’s not anti-mustache. Maybe a Change.org petition will do the trick? They seem to be the answer for everything these days.
