Race Around the Track in a 400 HP Sprint Cup Style Racecar
Suit Up, Put the Pedal to the Metal and Drive Like a NASCAR Pro

This thrilling Track Day provides racing fans and thrill seekers with the chance to sit behind the wheel and drive a real 400-plus horsepower Sprint Cup Style racecar around a Short Track - an oval track that is 3/8 of a mile to 1 mile around.

Your Stockcar Driving Experience begins with a one-hour Drivers Meeting where you will be given instruction on driving techniques, safety procedures and everything you need to know to prepare you for this racing adventure. Before getting behind the wheel, you will take a narrated van ride around the track to learn the racing line. Once the Driver’s training session is complete, it’s time to suit up, strap in and put the pedal to the metal! Before you hit the track, a crewmember will buckle you in and check your radio. When the thumps up is given, it’s time start your engine, hear that V8 roar, and enter pit lane. Next, it's time to take the Checkered Flag!

So, grab the wheel and prepare for the ride of your life as you race around the track for five thrilling laps. This Racing experience is the perfect unique gift for every NASCAR fan!

Thrilling

Very fun and really lives up to the hype! You really are living the dream as a nascar driver

Fun Day

The day was fun. The instructors were good about driving the stock car. The car worked flawlessly. Doing the ride along before my laps was a good choice. I would not buy the insurance again. Very little chance of a mishap. I ran the car to redline every lap, top speed in the 90s. I wish it went faster. It was a good experience. Pics I bought were al blurred. Too bad, and they gave my money back.

First day of the season was running a little late.
But overall the event was excellent. Shawn the manager was very effective at handling any issues that arose and I believe everyone I talked to was very happy with the event.

Great Time

First, anyone without experience should do the ride along. I did not, and drove like a rookie without a clue. (which I was) It took 10-12 of my 16 laps before I started feeling comfortable and punching the gas. I realized I was way slow when I started getting passed. Without the ride along or experience, I had no idea what the turns were supposed to feel like or the speed or anything else. Once I got a little comfortable I did better, but a short time later my ride was over. I will likely do this again, but I will do the ride along next time so I have a better feel for the in car experience, so maybe I can put the pedal to the metal and get a truer racing experience.

It was probably the most professionally run recreational event that I have ever been to. Very thorough safety instructions, making you feel at ease, and confident. Everybody was very friendly, and encouraging. My only regret was that I only drove the minimum laps, just enough to make you want more.
