The NASCAR Racing Experience

This a driving experience like no other racing experience or racing school -- an experience you will never forget!


Enjoy a package for two that provides classroom training AND the ability to drive real NASCAR Sprint Cup cars on a professional super speedway track during two 8-minute racing sessions per driver.

There is no lead car to follow and no instructor riding with you. Personal racing instructors communicate with you using 2-way radio racing electronics, as well as be your spotter, coaching you during the racing sessions and helping you achieve fast speeds safely. Passing is allowed -- pass the slower cars as you catch them, putting the pedal to the metal and seeing if you have what it takes to be a NASCAR driver!

The 3-hour experience begins when you arrive at the race track’s infield at the NASCAR Sprint Cup garage. After check-in, get suited up and attend the Driver’s Meeting with the Crew Chief that covers all training, instruction and a video presentation. Package includes a graduate certificate, souvenir license, liability and insurance.

Participants must at least 18 years of age or older, be in good physical condition, and have a valid driver’s license. Because of safety reasons, cars are restricted to those under 6'8" tall and weighing less than 300 lbs.
