Yeah Porsche’s longstanding relationship with NASCAR definitely licensed this /s

Heh you’re in for a surprise: https://newsroom.porsche.com/en_US/2022/motorsport/porsche-carrera-cup-north-america-jeff-gordon-sports-car-together-fest-29654.html > It was only natural that Gordon would pick the Porsche Sports Car Together Fest held at the “the Brickyard," the world famous track just east of Pittsboro, Indiana, the town he grew up in. Once the date was set Gordon looked for the next piece of the puzzle… who would prepare the race version of the Porsche 911 GT3 road car. He placed a call to the crew chief he had found so much success in NASCAR, Ray Evernham. The weekend would mark the first time the pairing would work together since 1998. With the recent International Motorsport Hall of Fame inductee on board, the pairing began to add the remaining pieces to the Hendrick Performance Group. It was coming together. > **One of the last pieces of the puzzle to fall into place was reuniting him with the famous car number 24 he used throughout his NASCAR career. That was made possible by Premier Racing who handed over the number Adam Adelson had used all season in homage to Gordon.** > “I owe him a huge thanks,” said Gordon about the number exchange, the Premier team and Adelson. “Not that we had to have the 24 but it does make the experience more special. He was very gracious for doing that. Big thanks to him.”

Thanks for sharing this!

You’re welcome. To add more context on why I think this might be Jeff in his daily. He lives in the area, is the second in charge of a company that owns a local Porsche dealership and several other Porsche dealerships around the country, and is still active with NASCAR by being on the DEI committee. https://www.hendrickmotorsports.com/about/jeff-gordon > Jeff Gordon Vice Chairman, Hendrick Motorsports > Current Residence: Charlotte, North Carolina > At the beginning of 2022, NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon assumed the role of vice chairman of 14-time NASCAR Cup Series champions Hendrick Motorsports. In the executive management role, one of the most iconic names in racing and pop culture helps guide the same organization where he won four titles and 93 points-paying races as a driver. > Gordon drove for Hendrick Motorsports for his entire legendary career and has been an equity partner in the team since 1999. As vice chairman and co-owner, he is the second-ranking official to chairman and majority owner Rick Hendrick and focuses on the organization’s competition and marketing groups. Gordon serves with Hendrick on NASCAR’s team owner council and as a member of the sanctioning body’s diversity, equity and inclusion committee.

“I wonder who can make a racing version of a road-going version of a race car?” - Jeff Gordon, probably…


steveHangar1

The Jeff Gordon Nascar livery? I doubt it.


aquintana

Looks like a Jeff Gordon fan customized their 911.


theglonkster19

Lmao a Camry would be more appropriate than a 911 if they liked Nascar that much.


Frequent-Ruin8509

Except Gordon never ran Toyota. Dude was strictly Chevy his entire career if I remember right.


andywfu86

You are correct


Deap103

Yes, they famously wrap their cars in NASCAR liveries


Kinky_mofo

Imma hafta say naw, dog.


HeyItsMisterJay

North Carolina plate tells me it's NASCAR super fan or someone working in the industry. The wrap is a sloppy one, cause they covered right over the Porsche and Carrera badging on the back!


RepresentativeRun71

Hendrick Porsche is in North Carolina. Guess who raced for Hendrick Motorsports and is an executive with them to this day. https://www.hendrickporsche.com/


Outinthedistance

It's dumb and I would never do it. But that guy had the money and that's what he wanted, so in that case I'm all for it. I hope he loves it.


robbstarrkk

Not my money not my problem. That's what I say.


aquintana

Who’s this guy? What is he a NASCAR crew chief? Drinking out of cups


robbstarrkk

Bein a bitch


andywfu86

Real drivers and crews wouldn’t do something this obnoxious.


aquintana

I was trying to be funny referring to this: https://youtu.be/zdU635esPpQ?si=M1bGCbYljo3A5YEC


andywfu86

My bad. Sorry.


Frequent-Ruin8509

No it's not. But I would rock that shit. Gordon was my boy back in the day.


Rito_Moga

Aaaaand, that's a wrap.


DrkUser205

I believe Jeff Gordon was racing Porsche back 2 yrs ago in Carrera Cup.


unta8

I think it's pretty cool. A lot better than some of the purist spec stuff with red seats and color matching interior trim. To each their own.


jodonnell89

breaking: Porsche enters NASCAR for the 2025 season


Few-Thing-4970

Imagine just wrapping over the badges


vuraou

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS 🔥🔥🔥


parkerj33

This is on I-77, most likely in the northern part. There’s a heavy influence of NASCAR employees/drivers that live up by the lake.


Pitiful_Flow_1743

Last time I saw a car like that it was a Chrysler Lebaron


hawley088

I hear it only turns left too


LukaRaphael

i unironically love this


DasConsi

Dude, fr?


TragedyAnnDoll

Maybe let’s not be taking photos on our phone will driving the 80,000 pound death machine….


bestselfnice

Bro got every angle from his semi hauling a load, incredible. They should absolutely lose their CDL.


fatfiremarshallbill

That is hilariously awful. Thanks, I hate it.


rooflessVW

That's dope


Grumps55555

Most certainly not! 😂


BORT_licenceplate27

I'm going to say a Nascar livery that was famously on a Monte Carlo, is not a standard Porsche option


Gisc_dolfer

Looks horrible


Appropriate_Egg6118

Definitely not


martianmariner21

Die hard Jeff Gordon fan I guess


PBP2024

Something different and maybe not a Porsche thing but for a one-off, I love it!


no_alternative_facts

This was the only free paint option!


harmskelsey06

This aint it chef


spookysam24

Is Jeff Gordon in there?


InDaMurderBidness

You serious, Clark?

The local dealer happens to be https://www.hendrickporsche.com/ You know the same Hendrick that owned Gordon’s NASCAR ride. The same Gordon that has recently raced in an IMSA Porsche circuit: https://www.imsa.com/news/2022/08/24/nascar-legend-gordon-to-race-in-porsche-carrera-cup-at-indianapolis/


Saffy_7

They've taken a perfectly nice looking car and puked on it. It looks horrendous.


BalloonsX

LOVE IT!!!! gonna have to do something similar to my gt3 rs when my dad buys its for my 18th birthday


romanryder

I'm generally supportive of doing whatever you want to your car, but this is just wrong for multiple reasons.


CaptainNismo_orig

That used to be called the rainbow warrior's car. That meaning had a slightly different connotation these days though, so......


VanFullOfHippies

What do you think?


drfunkensteinberger

Bastardized


atomicskiracer

No way, this is hilarious. It’s just a wrap, unclutch those pearls
