Madame Tussauds was set to unveil a life-size wax statue of four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon this week, adding Gordon to its SPEED attraction at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas.
SPEED is an interactive attraction dedicated to auto racing. It was opened in August 2005 with a $200,000 wax figure of the late Dale Earnhardt, a seven-time NASCAR champion.
Adrian Jones, general manager of Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, said that Gordon consistently has been voted one of the most popular sportsmen in the U.S. "and is heavily requested by our guests."
The wax Gordon is wearing a driving uniform and is depicted celebrating another win in Victory Lane.
