He turns right very well. JG has won more road races than any other Cup driver, 9 to Stewart's 7.

Funny, but I would guess it was staged, & I bet Gordon wasn't even driving for many of the scenes.

Yes it is, he was off pace by about 1-2 seconds. Granted, Gordan is there five or six times a year, so Gordan has a leg up on experience. Then again, I see some of those cup guys pick it up real fast their first time.

Seems they pulled the same prank on the auto blogger who said the last prank was a fake:

Watch Jeff Gordon give an auto blogger the terrifying ride of his life

Yeah, that's pretty good.

Still doesn't negate the fact that the first video was indeed a fake...
