Four-time NASCAR Champion Jeff Gordon recently announced he is opening a driving school designed to provide the most exciting and entertaining experience in the motorsports world. Cleveland-based Lincoln Electric Company, already working with the Mario Andretti Racing School, will partner with the Jeff Gordon Racing School in supplying welding and cutting equipment, technical training, and welding application support.

“We are extremely excited to align our brand with two of the biggest names in racing, and I am confident we will make a formidable team,” said Phillip Fulgenzi, director of motorsports marketing for Lincoln Electric.

The school will begin operations in August at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will expand to multiple NASCAR speedways in 2006. The racing school cars will be authentic cars actually raced by top NASCAR drivers. Many of the cars have been raced to victory lane by drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and others behind the wheel.

"Jeff Gordon Racing School is very proud to be associated with Lincoln Electric as they celebrate their 110th year as the worldwide leader in welding and cutting products,” said Robert Lutz, president and chief executive officer of Driving 101, the parent company of both Jeff Gordon Racing School and Mario Andretti Racing School. “We share in their commitment to excellence and providing customers with the best products in the industry. Lincoln Electric products are vital to our daily operations and consistently exceed our expectations for quality, durability, and functionality."
