FireStorm

I've heard about this for several weeks, following the rumors and speculation with trepidation. Wasn't sure when the unveiling would be, this season or waiting for Speedweeks 2009, but the best kept secret in NASCAR is out! On the Today Show, Jeff Gordon revealed the new paint scheme for his car and crew for next season: FireStorm

I'm glad it stayed similar to what he's had the past 8 years but it's different enough that I will have to go out and buy some new souvenirs. The flames blend further back on car, the yellow graduating to orange on the front make it necessary for me to update my collection. Sigh, the trials and tribulations of a fan LOL. I actually like this paint scheme a lot. It was designed by Sam Bass, as all his cars have been. It's better than some of the specialty paint schemes he's used off and on. The Nicorette (green) car and some of the Pepsi cars are hard to see and keep track of during the race. I am used to looking for that bright orange/red so hopefully this car will stand out against the others next year.

Jeff still has a chance to win the championship this year as you can see from my "At A Glance" in the sidebar. I think it's a slim chance but at least he's not out of it yet. From the way it looks, his teammate Jimmie Johnson is going to steal the show again. But how cool would it be if Jimmie were to win 3 championships in a row?!

Notice how I didn't bring up anything political or the word debate? I'll save that for later...

Off to get some work done that I'm actually getting paid to do :P Have a safe weekend

Until next post....
