Jeff Gordon Raced in Atlanta

Four-time NASCAR® Cup Series Champion Jeff Gordon raced in the Pep Boys Auto 500 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga.  Jeff placed 7th.  He currently is in 1st place in the Race for the Nextel Cup.  The Race is a 10-race series with 12 drivers that will determine the winner of the Nextel Cup.

The DuPont™ SentryGlas® brand appeared on the DuPont No. 24 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS during the race.  DuPontTM SentryGlas® Plus is the architectural glass interlayer for a new generation of building design and protection. Originally created for specialty markets such as high security glazing and hurricane windows, DuPont™ SentryGlas® Plus glass laminating interlayers now are being specified where engineers need a material that can make a difference in glass performance.

SentryGlas® Plus interlayers help create safety glass that protects against bigger storms, larger impacts, and more powerful blasts.  DuPont™ SentryGlas® Plus helps meet the needs of a global society faced with increasing building security challenges and growing concern about health, safety, and sustainability.

Our sponsorship of Jeff Gordon keeps our brands and products in the public eye.  Jeff next is scheduled to race on Sunday, November 4, in the Dickies 500 at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.
