Today Axalta (formerly DuPont) announced a partnership with my school (University of Michigan) for research and other stuff. That meant Jeff Gordon came to our shop and talked to all of the car teams that compete in Formula Hybrid, FSAE, Baja, and Solar Car. I got to talk to him for 5 whole minutes about composites and our team. He's a really really nice guy and very easy to talk to. Hopefully we can get him to come back and take our car for a spin!

At first, I thought this was a photoshop, then i realized that Jeff Gordon really is that short.

In all seriousness, sounds like a great experience!

He’s a lot shorter than I imagined.

Maybe it’s Don’t Bet Hat Guy? Could be good advice, or a warning. I dunno.

I didn’t know axalta used to be dupont. I always just figured he dropped the dupont brand
