JEFF GORDON and NICORETTE® RACE INTO CHICAGO

Jeff Gordon, current points leader and four-time NASCAR NEXTEL Cup champion will run the special No. 24 DuPont Nicorette Chevrolet paint scheme at the USG Sheetrock 400 on Sunday, July 15 at Chicagoland Speedway . The special paint scheme coincides with one of the most unique sponsorships in motorsports history with Nicorette helping race fans and crew members quit smoking through its QUIT Crew program.

"I am proud to be involved with a sponsor such as Nicorette that focuses on making a difference in people’s lives and helping people achieve better health by quitting smoking," said Gordon. "Nicorette continues to be an excellent sponsor and I look forward to a big weekend in the special DuPont Nicorette paint scheme at Chicago."

Nicorette’s QUIT Crew program is currently helping over 200 NASCAR team members from 11 different race teams quit smoking through counseling, support, and the proper use of the smoking cessation products Nicorette, NicoDerm CQ and Commit.

Quit smoking support is also available to NASCAR fans throughout race weekend at Nicorette’s interactive Winner’s Circle Exhibit located in Chicagoland Speedway’s fan area. At the exhibit, Nicorette’s certified smoking cessation coaches will be on hand to provide individuals with free, quit smoking counseling.
