Oh, the fun you can have if you’re a NASCAR driver.

In this video posted to NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon’s personal website, Gordon disguises himself as an older man named “Mike” and goes on a test drive in a Chevrolet Camaro, giving an unsuspecting car salesman the ride of his life.

Jeff Gordon will be driving his Chevy race car for real this weekend in Bristol, Tennessee.  NASCAR comes to North Carolina in May for the Charlotte Motor Speedway All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600.

In 2011, North Carolina declared stock car racing the official state sport.
