Hendrick Motorsports has dominated the “Throwback Weekend” paint schemes for Darlington Raceway. Kyle Larson will honor Terry Labonte, Chase Elliott will honor Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Alex Bowman will honor Jimmie Johnson. Now, it is time for [autotag]William Byron[/autotag] to honor one of the NASCAR’s most important drivers in history.
Byron will drive a special [autotag]Jeff Gordon[/autotag] throwback paint scheme at Darlington. The No. 24 car will feature flames on the sides and a classic look on the nose, a nod to Gordon’s “Firestorm” paint scheme from the 2009 NASCAR season. Overall, it is a good paint scheme that represents Gordon well.

Byron won at Darlington in a Gordon throwback scheme in May 2023. While that was a special win for the organization, Gordon might be even more happy if Byron won in this one. The driver of the No. 24 car is good at Darlington, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Grodon’s “Firestorm” paint scheme back in victory lane once again.
