Since 1992, Bass
has worked with Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports, unveiling the "Rainbow
Warrior" paint scheme that became synonymous with the team and more than
50 subsequent paint schemes for Gordon.
This weekend at
Michigan International Speedway, Gordon will take to the track in another Sam
Bass original design. The new, No. 24 Standox paint scheme is sure to turn
heads as Gordon circles the speedway with his trademark flames.
"The
Standox special paint scheme was a chance for me to really try something new,” said
Bass. “It marked the first time that I had ever been able to use so much white
on a car for Jeff. The pristine white of the hood looks classy and rich,
beautifully feeding into the flame graphics and is surrounded by the
immediately recognizable Standox blue. The traditional neon yellow No. 24's
really pop off the new colors which should really attract a lot of attention at
Michigan.
"It
is always a pleasure to create new paint schemes for AXALTA and Jeff Gordon.
Our 21 year working relationship has produced a lot of memorable looking race
cars with stunning paint and appearances, topped off with a driver who knows
how to show them off in victory lane! I am extremely proud of the work I have
done for them over the years and this new Standox car continues that
tradition."
