“Beginning March 10, Jeff Gordon’s familiar “fire and flames” No. 24 DuPont
Chevrolet will vanish. Darren Romeo, a master illusionist, will incorporate
Gordon’s car into each of his 2006 performances at the Welk Resort Theatre
located in Branson, Mo.
The talented magician will make the car disappear during his shows held at
the theater beginning in March in an illusion titled Two Men Living Their
Dream.
“I admire Jeff mostly because he is a man who always believed that nothing is
impossible, and that is how I have lived my life, ” said Romeo, Siegfried and
Roy’s only protegee. “Jeff always wanted to be a race car driver, and I always
wanted to be a magician. My parents made huge sacrifices for me to live out my
dream, just as Jeff’s parents did for him.
“And now, every audience that sees my show will experience a great
impossibility and a wonderful life lesson, too.” Gordon, who began racing
quarter-midgets at the age of five and is now a four-time NASCAR Cup Series
champion, believes the audience will experience a journey during each show.
“Magicians and illusionists have always amazed me, and Darren is no
exception,” said Gordon. “I’m not surprised that NASCAR’s popularity has led to
this opportunity. “The audience should expect a wild ride during Darren’s
performances this year.”
Adding a NASCAR element to each show seemed to be the next logical step.
“We have realized for a long time that a large percentage of Branson visitors
are NASCAR fans,” said Joe Sullivan, executive producer of Welk-Sullivan
Productions. “We are delighted to have an opportunity to include an element in
The Darren Romeo Show that will be fun and exciting for people who enjoy
NASCAR and particularly Jeff Gordon and his No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet.
“We are looking forward to working with DuPont, Pepsi-Cola and the other
sponsors to maximize their exposure in the Branson market and to create an
entertaining experience for NASCAR fans at the Welk Resort Theatre.”
