Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is making several TV appearances today to unveil his new paint scheme for next year's No. 24 AARP Foundation "Drive To End Hunger" car.
Gordon's first stop was CNN's American Morning, where the driver showed off the new colors (which will appear in 22 races next season) and fielded pressing questions from anchor Kiran Chetry such as "How did you get this puppy into Manhattan and make sure nothing happened to it?"
The car is certainly a different look for Gordon. It's mostly red and black with white/gray trim on the sides, meaning it probably won't be confused for his DuPont paint scheme (which will still be on the car for 13 races next year).
Though the "Drive To End Hunger" logo was on the hood for the unveiling, fans should expect to see other corporate sponsors who partner with the AARP Foundation to appear on the car at various points during the season.
What do you think of the new paint scheme, Gordon fans?
Note: If you're wondering those lines in the middle of the 'D' are, just turn your head to a different angle. It's supposed to be a fork.

Way to busy
Busy, fussy, a mess in general.

It’s going to take some getting used to. I’m not crazy with how busy it is and I miss the flames. Who designed it? A big element is going to be how easy (or not) it is to find when it’s running with 42 other cars.

Not sure I see the “busyness” – it actually looks streamlined to me. I think it is a good idea – new sponsor – new year – new car – new crew chief – the Drive for FIVE!! Go #24!
