Charlotte, N.C. Listen up, race fans! Lucasfilm Ltd. and Pepsi-Cola Company unveiled the new,
Star Wars themed, Gordon-Evernham Motorsports #24 Pepsi car on May 26, 1999. The car features characters from the new movie, Episode I, and will be raced by Jeff Gordon at Lowes's Motor Speed Way on Saturday, May 29th. Collectibles of the car are being marketed and distributed by Action Performance, who will also have hats and t-shirts trackside on Saturday. Gordon, a
Star Wars fan, says he "jumped at the opportunity," of driving the car: "I was only six years old when the first
Star Wars movie came out and I loved every minute of it."
