Jeff Gordon's 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup car will make its Canadian debut in the Canadian Motor Speedway display at the Canadian Motorsports Expo. The 8th annual CME takes place February 7, 8 & 9 at Toronto's International Centre.
For the fourth year in a row, the Canadian Motor Speedway (CMS) exhibit at Canada's Ultimate Racing Show will feature one of Gordon's cars. Racing fans in attendance at this year's show are in for a special experience as the CMS booth will present - for the first time anywhere in Canada - the 2014 paint scheme that will appear on Gordon's brand new #24 Axalta Chevrolet SS NASCAR Sprint Cup car when he takes to the track, one week after the Expo, to qualify for the season opening Daytona 500.
The car's new paint scheme is being kept under wraps until Hendrick Motorsports and Axalta unveil it at the end of January in Charlotte, NC. The timing of the embargo will give Canadian racing fans who visit the Canadian Motor Speedway booth at the CME an exclusive opportunity to be among the first anywhere to see Gordon's new ride in person.
“The fan interest in an actual NASCAR Sprint Cup show car - especially that of a driver as popular as Jeff - really gets the cameras clicking! We are always honoured to have the #24 with us at the CME,” commented Canadian Motor Speedway Partner and Executive Director Azhar Mohammad.
In addition to seeing the #24 car, visitors to the Canadian Motor Speedway will also be able to meet John Bickford, the Vice President and General Manager of Jeff Gordon, Inc. Bickford is Gordon's stepfather and is widely credited for much of the on and off-track success achieved by the four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion during his illustrious career. Gordon, one of NASCAR's top racers, is the designer of Canadian Motor Speedway. John Bickford will greet fans at the CMS booth on Friday, February 7 and Saturday, February 8.
