History

Gordon/Evernham Motorsports 1999

In 1999 Brooke Gordon (then wife of Jeff Gordon) and Ray Evernham formed Gordon/Evernham Motorsports (GEM) to compete in that year's NASCAR Busch Series. The team's Pepsi-sponsored cars ran six races with Jeff Gordon as driver and Evernham as crew chief. DuPont sponsored the #24 car in two races in 1999 with driver Ricky Hendrick and Evernham on the box.

Due to offers from Dodge, Evernham sold his half of GEM to Rick Hendrick at the end of the year

JG Motorsports 2000

The GEM cars competed in the 2000 NASCAR Busch Series under the title "JG Motorsports". The team was jointly owned by Jeff Gordon and Rick Hendrick and attempted 20 races in the year. The team ran sixteen races with Ricky Hendrick as driver and did not qualify for five of the sixteen. Pepsi stayed as sponsor for the five races Gordon drove and GMAC came on as sponsor for the races Ricky Hendrick drove.

In 2002 the JG Motorsports Busch team was merged into Hendrick Motorsports and became the #48 car in the Cup series driven by Jimmie Johnson.
