Chuck Norris doesn't worry about high gas prices. His vehicles run on fear.
He does worry, however, about drinking pure water. That's why he will be stopping at six Utah Maverik gas stations from Logan to Provo this week.
Norris just launched his new bottled-water brand, CForce, which he will promote in Utah on Wednesday and Thursday. The nutrient-rich water comes from a natural aquifer under Norris' ranch in Navasota, Texas, according to the product's website.
At the event, fans can meet and take photos with Norris, as well as enter a contest to win a new, customized Chevrolet called Truck Norris. To enter the contest, fans must be members of the Maverik Adventure Club, buy CForce water and spend Trail Points (which are earned from buying stuff at Maverik).
The truck is painted like an American flag and includes a decked storage system and rear suspension, among other special features.

This isn't the first time Norris has been to Utah recently. In February 2017, Norris made a surprise visit to a former missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints living in Sandy who had been diagnosed with cancer. The missionary, 33-year-old Mark Parry, said he had always been a huge fan of Norris.
"I am still amazed they would come and do that," Parry's mother told the Deseret News. "They could not have been nicer. Chuck Norris was as kind a person as I’ve ever met."
