Rainbow Warriors continue until 2005.
One of the most enduring images of the world of NASCAR racing throughout the 1990's will be the technicolour pit-crew that so ably aided Jeff Gordon to 50 Winston Cup race wins and three Winston Cup championships. The 'Rainbow Warriors' as they became known, due to the immense spectrum of colour that adorns their overalls, were one of the most efficient and reliable crews in the entire pit-lane. On many occasions Gordon's Rick Hendrick owned Chevrolet has won a race thanks to the expert attention he received in the pits.

Thankfully for many NASCAR fans, the 'Rainbow Warriors' will still be a part of the Winston Cup scene until at least 2005. Du Pont auto finishes have announced that they are extending their current contract with Hendrick Motorsports for a further five years, continuing one of NASCAR's most recognisable combinations.
Jeff Gordon has won one race so far this season, The Die Hard 500 at Talladega. The 1995, '97 and '98 Winston Cup champion currently lies ninth in the points standings, 200 points behind the leader Bobby Labonte.
