Home/NASCAR

We’ve all been, at some point in our lives, seen a NASCAR car of one of our favorite drivers and wondered, ‘Damn! It’d be nice if I had that,’ haven’t we? Well, for all the Jeff Gordon fans, the opportunity to do so, to own one of his cars, one of his more iconic cars, is here.

The #24 Chevy Monterey that Gordon drove in the Bud Shootout at Daytona from 2002 to 2004 is going to be up for auction at RM Sotheby’s sometime in the middle of August.

With this car, the four-time Cup Series champion finished in the top five each time he drove it in the exhibition race. Oh, and also, the chassis 24-224 has the iconic DuPont paint scheme, so that’s a big deal.

As for what it’s gonna cost, the last time this car was on auction, which was in 2015 when the world was a very different place, it went for $110,000.

So to say it won’t come cheap would be a gross, disgusting understatement. But hey, it’s Gordon’s car.

For those of you who have the dollars, it’ll be worth it.

“Jeff’s been terrific,” O’Donnell said. “Jeff is such a well-respected guy, and it’s very tough for anyone outside of NASCAR to look at the sports as a whole.”

O’Donnell described how Gordon is someone who has always been able to think broadly about NASCAR and involve as many people as he can. That he brings an important element to the table, which is the things that need to be done so the sport can grow along with those who are making it grow.
