# New look for the #24 in 2009: Jeff Gordon announced on QVC's shopping show "For Race Fans Only" that the primary paint scheme will change on the #24 DuPont Chevy in 2009. The primary scheme seemingly changes whenever there's a new occupant in The White House. Gordon raced the rainbow-themed DuPont Chevrolet from 1993-2000 while Bill Clinton occupied the highest office in the land. Gordon experienced his greatest career success in the rainbow car. In 2001, he changed to the fire and flames scheme and raced that for the next 8 years while George Bush ran the country. And now, the third -- and likely, final -- incarnation of the DuPoint paint scheme will be raced in 2009 and beyond. The new 2009 DuPont paint scheme is expected to be unveiled during the week leading up to the October 11 race at Lowes Motor Speedway.(Gordonline.com), am hearing the base color will be BLACK.(9-20-2008

Yea, I was watching that, and their is no way I would order a car like that w/o knowing what it looks like, although that was a great starting price.

From Blue To Black


NEW YORK, N.Y. (October 2) - - Jeff Gordon unveiled the 2009 DuPont paint scheme on October 2 in New York City. Most striking is the change from a base blue to black, and more red on the hood area. In addition, National Guard replaces Nicorette on the quarterpanels. The scheme seemingly changes whenever there's a new occupant in The White House. Gordon raced the rainbow-themed DuPont Chevrolet from 1993-2000 while Bill Clinton occupied the highest office in the land. Gordon experienced his greatest career success in the rainbow car. In 2001, he changed to the fire and flames scheme and raced that for the next 8 years while George Bush ran the country. And now, the third -- and likely, final -- incarnation will be raced in 2009 and beyond.

It looks good but I love the blue. I'll get used to it. As long as it's bright up front, which it still is, then I can pick him out of the crowd.
