Underdog to Partner with The Jeff Gordon Foundation on 2007 Fantasy Car
Indianapolis, IN (July 26, 2007) – “Have No Fear”, the canine hero from the Walt Disney Pictures’ upcoming comedy “Underdog” helps “evil get licked” but still finds time to pose on the hood of The Jeff Gordon Foundation No. 24 car. The 2007 Foundation Fantasy Car was unveiled today at the Foundation’s annual Bowling Tournament with the help from former patients at the Riley Hospital for Children.
The limited edition die-cast features Underdog prominently flying across the hood with the words “One Nation Under Dog….” Underdog also appears on the sides of the car —scaling a building — and on the back deck lid where he handsomely sits upon his
trademark U beside the words “Have No Fear”. Also showcased is the official Jeff Gordon Foundation logo on each rear quarter panel and on the rear bumper.
The Foundation began issuing these special collectibles in 2001, with proceeds benefiting children with chronic and life-threatening diseases.
“Underdog was one of my favorite cartoons growing up and The Jeff Gordon Foundation is excited to partner with Disney on this program,” said Gordon. “The fantasy paint schemes we’ve done are very popular, and they seem to get cooler every year.”
Diecast models and officially license merchandise of the Underdog car will be available for sale at trackside merchandise trailers and available in the Fall through the MA Dealer Network, online at www.goracing.com or at The Jeff Gordon Foundation store at
www.jeffgordonfoundation.org.
