Jeff Gordon's new paint scheme


Jeff Gordon unveiled his new paint scheme for 2009, the first change to the basic look to his car since 2001 and only the third time in his Cup career.



One of NASCAR's most popular and successful drivers, Jeff Gordon, unveiled his brand new 2009 paint scheme before a national audience live on NBC's "TODAY Show" this morning, marking the first change Gordon has seen on his DuPont Chevrolet since 2001. Designed by popular motorsports artist Sam Bass, the new car features a sleek and stealth black body emblazoned with bold neon red, orange and blue flames. "I'm fired up about our new paint scheme," said Gordon. "I've always loved cars with flames and the current 'Fire and Flames' paint scheme has been one of my favorites. But now I think we've improved upon that with the 'FireStorm' design and hopefully we'll be as fast on the track as the paint scheme makes us look." The four-time Sprint Cup Champion will debut his new colors on-track at the 51st Running of the Daytona 500 in February when he celebrates his 17th season with primary sponsor, DuPont, and the 25th Anniversary of Hendrick Motorsports. "We have such a solid, longstanding relationship with both Jeff and Hendrick Motorsports, so continuing that relationship and debuting Jeff's new DuPont Chevrolet in conjunction with Hendrick's 25th Anniversary is very exciting for us and the sport as a whole," said David Bills, chief marketing and sales officer for DuPont. Motorsports Authentics, through its Action Racing Collectables die-cast brand, will be offering a collectable die-cast version of the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet. Pre-orders are being taken on goracing.com, nascar.com and at Motorsports Authentics authorized dealers nationwide. The Racing Collectables Club of America (RCCA) will also offer a version of the die-cast through its RCCA Elite brand.(Motorsports Authentics PR),

i saw him and car on espn earlier today and do think car looks good. looks like black is going to be a dominant base color this year after Jeffs and Carls cars are both heavy in black with strong accent colors . have always liked the flames but never his cars until this one
speaking of cars , Jrs car for this weekend turned out awesome as well . whoever came up with idea of putting 70,00 signatures on car needs a pat on the back ! kudos for sure !

well, kudos to Dale himself then! That is the one who thought of it. And if you happen to find a way to decipher how to read the names on the diecast, you will see both of my children on there!

Only wish I had the opportunity to eyewitness the car itself and find their names!

Supposedly the diecast is coming with a card that lists all 70,000 names. Must be one big card!  My name is supposed to be on there I think.

Of course I thought Amp was supposed to email you prior to the race and let you know where your name would be on the car, but I haven't received anything.

Ok, well I just went to the Amp Energy site. You can put your email in to see where your name is located, which is pretty frickin' cool.

My name is on the roof, in the first 8 of the 88 number.  So look real close! lol

my son is under the first Eight on the roof dead center - Sage Sealey

my daughter is at the top left of the drivers side rear quarter panel where the two colors meet, her name is printed in two colors - Andrea Sealey

I never told them about it as to keep it a surprise, I just told them and they were excited to find out that their names are on Dale Jr.'s car that he will race Sunday.
