Item Special Note

NASCAR Driver For a Day

NASCAR Racing Experience, 2-Night Stay for 2

This Experience Includes:

  • NASCAR car racing experience for 2 at your choice of participating locations throughout the contiguous U.S.
  • 2-night stay in a standard guest room at a Hyatt Place, Hampton Inn, or comparable hotel

The NASCAR Racing Experience
This is 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 tracks infield at the NASCAR Sprint Cup garage. After check-in, get suited up and attend the Drivers Meeting with the Crew Chief that covers all training, instruction and a video presentation. Package includes a graduate certificate, souvenir license, liability and insurance.

Note:  Indy-style open-wheel racing, which puts you behind the wheel of a full sized Indy-style race car, may be substituted for the NASCAR Driver for a Day adventure.
