The entire staff at the Monster Mile Racing were friendly and helpful not only to myself, but my family members who accompanied me just to watch me drive. From start to finish they provided a friendly and confident atmosphere for all of us that simply added to my own personal thrill with the experience itself. Thank you to all.

Amazing experience. Loved every minute!

Harvey Skolnick

The overall experience of driving the vehicle was awesome. So awesome, I will come back again.

Robert Habel

The "Ride and Drive a Stock Car" experience was amazing. Of course I expected to be blown away by driving the car, which I was, but I was also highly impressed with how professional and courteous the entire experience was. The instructors and crew were all pleasant and wanted to ensure that I/we enjoyed ourselves. Further, they truly seemed interested in ensuring that all of our questions were answered. In fact, I was so impressed with the event that I'm going to purchase the same package for my father who is a huge race car fan. For the past few days this experience is all Ive talked about. I'm sure my friends, family and coworkers are tired of hearing about it, but it was by far the highlight of this year. Not only was the experience great, but the crew, staff, and entire event made me feel like an actual race car driver. I'm waiting by my phone from some NASCAR team asking me to come drive their car for them. I could have been out on the track racing at 120 MPH all day. I truly thank Cloud 9 and the racing school for giving me such an impressive gift. Thanks to everyone and I'll definitely be seeing you all again soon. John

  1. How fast can I go?
    FAST!  Participants can reach speeds of up to 120 MPH.  You might be thinking anyone can run 120 MPH, but remember at the "Monster Mile" the track has over 3420 feet of corners and only 1800 feet of straight-away.  So when you're hugging the wall on a curve at top speeds, the thrill and excitement is unbelievable.
  2. What are the driver requirements?
    To drive you must be 18 years old, possess a valid driver's license, and should be in good health and have enough physical ability to enter & exit a race car of your own accord.
  3. Do I have to know how to drive stick?
    No, if you're a little rusty there is an automatic transmission car to accommodate you.
  4. What kind of car will I drive?
    Real 600 horsepower, Sprint Cup style race cars.
  5. What is the track like?
    Dover International Speedway, nicknamed the "Monster Mile," is a 1 mile (1.6 km) race track located in Dover, Delaware. Dover is unique in many ways. It is exactly one mile long; technically this means that it is neither a superspeedway nor a short track. The speedway surface is concrete; most NASCAR track surfaces are asphalt. Dover is one of three concrete ovals used in NASCAR's three major series.
    Distance: 1 mile, Shape: Oval, Banking: 24 degree turns, 9 degree straights
