Teammates to pay tribute at Homestead with ‘Jeff Gordon yellow’
CONCORD, N.C. – Sunday will mark a momentous occasion in the history of Hendrick Motorsports and NASCAR as a whole. Jeff Gordon will make his final start behind the wheel of the No. 24 Chevrolet SS.
To honor the event, Axalta has provided a special paint scheme for Gordon to drive as he attempts to win a fifth NASCAR Cup Series championship in the final race of his final full-time season.
But the remaining three Hendrick Motorsports cars will also celebrate the close of an iconic career.
In a collaboration Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick announced Tuesday morning on Twitter, Gordon’s teammates and their partners worked together to run the familiar “Jeff Gordon yellow” for the car numbers on the No. 5, No. 48 and No. 88 Chevrolets as well.
Take a look at what Gordon’s teammates had to say about the occasion – and check out 3D renderings of the cars that will hit the track with the yellow numbers.
