Report: Jeff Gordon's New Sponsorship Deal to Be Announced Wednesday

Filed under: , , ,

The AARP Foundation and Jeff Gordon will team up in 2011, with the charity arm of the retired persons organization becoming the primary sponsor on Gordon's No. 24 Chevrolet for most of the NASCAR Sprint Cup races to promote a major anti-hunger campaign, the Charlotte Observer reported Monday.

The paper reported that the campaign will be coordinated by the foundation and will eventually involve other companies.

The new deal, however, doesn't mean that fans will no longer see Gordon's longtime primary sponsors, Dupont and Pepsi, on his No. 24 Chevrolet. Those two powerhouse companies are expected to sponsor the races that AARP Foundation doesn't cover, the Observer said.

More details of the sponsorship are expected to be announced at a Wednesday news conference.

Dupont is one of NASCAR's longest-running and most dedicated sponsors.

If Dupont steps away completely from some of the 2011 races, it will be the first time since the company began sponsoring Gordon beginning with his very first race at Atlanta at the end of 1992.

Wednesday Afternoon Crew Chief: Ferrari Makes Hay

Okay, at mid-season, who thought that Fernando Alonso would be leading the world driver’s championship with two races left to run? At that time, a McLaren or a Red Bull was the car to have and Ferrari looked to be out of the picture.
But while Ferrari put all of its (considerable) resources behind Alonso as [...]
