Hendrick Motorsports will unveil a familiar paint scheme on the No. 24 race car this weekend at Phoenix Raceway. William Byron will honor Jeff Gordon with a red flames on yellow and black scheme sponsored by Axalta. This will be the final Axalta paint scheme for the car as the company is set to rebrand under a new name in 2027. Hendrick Motorsports has urged fans to stay tuned for the reveal of their new 2027 paint scheme and company name.
Jeff Gordon, now serving as Vice Chairman at Hendrick Motorsports, is the winningest driver in the team's history with 93 victories, also ranking third all-time in wins. Gordon claimed the championship in 1995, 1997, 1998, and 2001, finishing third in the 2015 standings. Byron has driven the No. 24 since 2018, securing 16 wins, including consecutive triumphs in the 2024-2025 Daytona 500, both featuring Axalta schemes with the iconic door flames.
This specific Phoenix paint scheme is a throwback to the 2013 Axalta color scheme Gordon used, where he won two races at Phoenix in 2007 and 2011.
