Jeff Gordon XS Racing is a 1999 racing video game for Microsoft Windows and Game Boy Color. The game features then three time NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon. The game's Game Boy version has link cable support.[3]
Set in the year 2012,[4] Jeff Gordon XS Racing lets the player drive a "next-generation" stock car against 39 other drivers (four other drivers in the Game Boy version), and any damage that the car sustains will repair itself. The game has a time trial mode, where the player can practice and try to achieve their fastest lap on the track.[5] The game has a championship mode, where the player takes part in a ten-race series. After the player finishes the first season, Gordon will appear as an opposing driver, with a higher AI than the others. The game also has sponsorships from companies like Pepsi, Fritos, and 7-Eleven.[6]
