NASCAR Racing Experience to include Gordon's school

NASCAR announced on Thursday that it reached an agreement with Jeff Gordon Racing School to rebrand the school into the NASCAR Racing Experience, bringing an authentic racing experience in real stock cars to fans, sponsors and business partners throughout the country.

The NASCAR Racing Experience allows fans several different options from riding in the front seat of a stock car to actually getting behind the wheel of one at some racetracks nationwide, and the program will now include real cars used in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Gordon was excited to merge his school with NASCAR so that it would serve more fans at more tracks, he said, while continuing to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
