Jeff Gordon Offers Fans a Behind-The-Scenes Day With Him At The AAA Texas 500
The NASCAR Champion Will Fly the Prizeo Winner Out to Texas for a Racing Weekend
Los Angeles, CA (August 18, 2014). NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon has announced via exclusive video, alongside top Formula One drivers Esteban Gutiérrez and Adrian Sutil, the launch of a campaign on the celebrity charity-fundraising digital platform Prizeo.com to raise awareness and funds for Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research and the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation.
Pole-sitter, Jeff Gordon took the lead from Logano with 17 laps remaining in the Pure Michigan 400 to take his third win of the season, and regain the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points lead.
“The last one, I thought he had a good start. But I had a good one, too,” said Gordon. “I really think what happened to him on that last restart was Kevin was having some trouble getting going. This is a big, fast place. There’s a draft there. My lane moved along as a group. Even though Joey got out there, he was sort of sitting on an island by himself. We kind of tracked him down. I was able to get to his left rear. When I got to his left rear, drug him back, gave me a ton of momentum. I was able to get to the bottom and get by him.”
