Here’s the car Jeff Gordon will drive at Homestead (Photo)
The No. 24 car will be silver for Jeff Gordon’s final race in it.
The four-time Sprint Cup Series champion is retiring from full-time driving at the end of the season and unveiled the paint scheme he’ll run at Homestead, the final race of 2015, on Fox Sports 1 on Tuesday night.
Gordon’s DuPont/Axalta paint schemes in the 2000s have featured the flames motif. And while the paint scheme isn’t bad — it’s certainly not one of the worst cars Gordon has driven in his career — the Homestead paint scheme was going to be underwhelming. Why? Because of the awesomeness of the rainbow paint scheme he ran at Bristol in August. Nothing was ever going to top this car.
Gordon finished 14th in the first race of the Chase on Sunday.
