The race will be broadcast on Fox Sports at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.
“Man, I’m going to give it a try,” Gordon, 48, said. “We’ve been trying to get me behind the wheel of one of these sim rigs and I’m coming out of retirement boys!”
Clint Bowyer, who was also doing the broadcast has been racing in the Pro Invitational Series said, “I can’t wait. It’s been week after week of you giving me heck.”
