Bring a friend for twice the fun! With our side by side option, you and your companion will climb into separate cars and race next to each other around the track. With an expert instructor at the wheel you will be door-to-door going down the straight-aways and nose to tail weaving between each other in the corners. You'll feel like you are in a real race!

I'm 67 years old and the Ride Along was more fun than when I was 10 years old riding bumper cars at a carnival! I'm looking forward to next year so I can ride, or maybe drive, a Nascar again. Great fun. I enjoyed every split second of the ride.
