NASCAR Fans in California Cozy Up to the #24 AARP Drive to End Hunger Car

See driver Jeff Gordon's stand-in at a food drive

from: AARP, August 3, 2011

NASCAR fans are infamously zealous, and fans of four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon are no exception. Recently they turned out in force in Fontana, Calif., for an AARP Food Drive ahead of the Auto Club 400, where the star of the event was Gordon's No. 24 AARP Drive to End Hunger car. Second Harvest Food Bank of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties collected 300 pounds of food and more than $4,500 at the event, and the Drive to End Hunger chipped in another $10,000.

Hey, That's Jeff Gordon!

Well, actually it's not the champion NASCAR driver, as it turns out. Look close and you may detect that the "Jeff Gordon" in this photograph is actually a cardboard stand-in that accompanies a second AARP Drive to End Hunger No. 24 car at promotional events from coast to coast. — Photo by Daniel Hennessy
