From #24-Jeff Gordon’s media availability Friday at Watkins Glen:
Q: Can you talk about the dinner in DC this week?
Gordon: ‘Yeah, I was very fortunate to get an invite. I think the work that we are doing in Rwanda [with the Jeff Gordon Foundation] had a big influence on that.’It was great. I got an opportunity to shake hands and meet the president of Rwanda President Kagame. That was a first for me and it was important. What an incredible event just to be a part of Ingrid and I felt very fortunate to be there. It was great to see the President and Mrs. Obama for a short period of time. We even danced next to them on the dance floor which was probably one of the coolest things I think Ingrid and I have ever had the opportunity to do at the White House. That was pretty neat. It was really special. The President asked me to break dance. But unfortunately it wasn’t the proper music playing and he also suggested right after that, it probably wasn’t wise of me to do that with getting towards the end of our season. I agreed with him.’(Chevy PR)(8-9-2014)
