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]
In 1997 NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon and ASC Games announced that they were collaborating on a line of racing video games.[7][8] Gordon was involved in the development of the game, giving developers feedback and tuning instructions.[9] Plans for PlayStation and Nintendo 64 versions were cancelled.

The game received mixed reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[10][11] Daniel Erickson of NextGen called the PC version a "well conceived yet repetitive effort [that] lands squarely toward the back of the pack."[20]
