Jeff Gordon's historic fourth Brickyard 400 victory in August 2004 - one of the most memorable moments in the 95-year history of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway - is captured in a unique collectible from Mounted Memories now available for purchase.
The framed collector's piece measures 15 inches wide by 17 inches tall. It includes an 8-inch by 10-inch photo of Gordon raising his arms in triumph at the Yard of Bricks start-finish line after becoming just the fourth driver to win a race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway four times, joining Indianapolis 500 legends A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears.
Also included in the collectible is a piece of asphalt measuring approximately 1 ½ inches by 2 ½ inches from the start-finish line area of the Speedway's famed 2.5-mile oval, and a 1/64th scale die-cast model of the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet that Gordon drove to victory in this year's race.
Only 400 individually numbered of these Gordon-Brickyard 400 collectibles ever will be made, with a certificate of authenticity from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Mounted Memories.
Fans can click here to buy this collectible via the World Wide Web at the Online Store of the official Indianapolis Motor Speedway Web site, www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com, or at the IMS Gift Shops in the Speedway's Hall of Fame Museum or at the Brickyard Authentics Stores located at Circle Centre Mall in downtown Indianapolis and the Indianapolis International Airport, respectively.
The Gordon-Brickyard 400 item is part of a series of collectibles including pieces of asphalt and brick from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which became available due to the first complete repaving of the Speedway's racing surface since 1995. ***
