When Rihanna Revealed Her Experience With Hendrick Motorsports Legend Jeff Gordon Amidst NASCAR Rendezvous in 2007

Many NASCAR fans might not know this, but Rihanna, the global pop-star, who has recently been in the headlines for two very different reasons, was spotted with Jeff Gordon. Although, this was a long time back.

In 2007, Rihanna and Gordon drove together to the California Speedway’s ‘Running Wide Open’, an event hosted by the former Hendrick driver.

Speaking of her experience of being driven around by a four-time NASCAR Cup champion, Rihanna said, “It was fun, I mean I was screaming, but it was rockstar, it was fun.”

The pop star did confess then that she knew little to nothing about NASCAR because of her background.

“NASCAR is something very new to me because growing up in Barbados, NASCAR isn’t known that much, not at all actually. So I’m not really very familiar with it,” she added.

However, since then, both cultural icons have come a long way. The pop star has carved out an incredible career and a fan following for herself.

She was recently in the headlines for her epic photoshoot in which she flaunted her baby bump. But a few days later, she was once again on everyone’s lips for something else.

That something was the rumor of her split with ASAP Rocky.

The fans of the power couple were dealt with a shock when it was rumored that things were over between them. It was recently reported that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have called it quits after she caught him cheating.

Jeff Gordon isn’t sure if he’ll be competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Hendrick

Jeff Gordon, who is currently the Vice Chairman of his former team, Hendrick Motorsports, recently revealed whether he’ll drive for his team next year at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

“As far as competing (again), I don’t know,” Gordon said.

However, he did mention that he would be doing “a little simulator” work for Hendrick Motorsports.

Gordon added that the Le Mans program is something that would be exciting, something he wants to be a part of. “We are a part of it with Hendrick, but I just don’t know if I’ll be able to get behind the wheel and drive it in that race,” he said.

“I’m certainly going to go play around with the car when we get it. Play around with the simulator and see if it’s something that’s realistic.”
