Daytona NASCAR Drive Customer Reviews

Average Rating: 5 stars out of 5

It was a real thrill to be on the track alone in the car. I could not understand my coach, but it didn't matter. I am a very aggressive and fearless driver. I really enjoyed the first 2 laps with pedal to the metal. The 3rd lap I caught up to the next driver and the governor kept me from passing. They set it up so you can't pass - no passing on the curve and they pull to the center on the straight so you can't get around plus if you try they turn the governor on. More time would have been a waste of money. They pulled me in on the 4th lap. I really enjoyed the first 2 and understand why they won't let you pass due to safety issues, even though they don't tell you. Would not repeat it, it was enough. I really enjoyed Dawn's coaching and personal touch. Thank you for the experience and opportunity.

8 Laps on the High Banks

Want to make fun of those NASCAR guys that drive around in circles on Saturday and Sunday? Do 3 8 minute sessions on the famous Daytona Race Track in a (King) car and see if you still think going around in circles is something someone can do with one hand on the wheel. A Great time and I would do it again.

Racing Experience

This is one of greatest experiences of my life! Everyone with the Team was super and Matt was a great class instructor. After the classroom, Greg gave in-car instruction and then OFF you go. I ran thru the four gears coming out pit-row following Miichael and eight of the fastest laps of my life around the Daytona Tri-Oval! I also have a new found respect for NASCAR drivers and their teams.

Questions about Daytona NASCAR Drive

Question: I would like to purchase this gift for my father, who does not have a very flexible schedule. What happens if it rains on the day of his race and the experience is cancelled?

Answer: Safety is of utmost importance on the track. If the NASCAR experience is cancelled due to weather by the operator or any other uncontrollable circumstances, you will be able to reschedule directly through the race operator.
Question: How many other cars will there be on the racetrack? I did a racing experience once before and we followed a pace car the entire time and were not allowed to pass. Does this NASCAR experience allow us to pass?

Answer: An actual NASCAR race has 43 cars at the start, but for this experience there will be only 20 cars total on the track for each session. There is also no lead car and passing is encouraged. You will have a spotter talking to you through your headset and he will let you know when to move up.
Question: I am looking to give this as a retirement gift. What happens if the person I give the gift to gets into an accident?

Answer: Safety is top priority, therefore incidences are EXTREMELY rare. All drivers are covered with Vehicle Liability Insurance that is included in the price.
Question: My parents gave me this as a gift, but I have an expired license. Will that be a problem? Also, are the cars manual or automatic?

Answer: All participants MUST be 18 years old and possess a valid driver's license. These are real race cars driven by professional NASCAR drivers. They all have manual transmissions. If you don't know how to drive stick, this should be the proper motivation to learn!
Question: My husband and I would like to buy this for our Son as a Congratulations gift. What is included in each add on package?

Question: I purchased this gift for my husband, a longtime NASCAR fan. I would like to bring the whole family to watch him race. I have two young kids and would like to know if concessions will be available or if I need to bring snacks along for my children.
