Drive a Stock Car - Michigan

Description:
Put on your driving suit, buckle up your helmet, and get behind the wheel of a race ready Sprint Cup style stock car at the famous Michigan International Speedway.

Your instructor flips the start switch and your car rumbles to life. Hold on tight as you accelerate down pit road and onto the high banked two mile oval at Michigan International Speedway. A 150 mph thrill ride awaits, an experience like no other.

After registration drivers go to class for "Stock Car Driving 101". This hour long class covers in car and on track safety, reference points, driving the proper line, how to enter and exit corners and pit road, and proper passing maneuvers. Next, it's out to pit road where the race cars are gassed up and ready to go. Your instructor will take you on a few orientation laps in street cars to experience everything you have learned in the classroom.

Back on pit road you will attend a drivers meeting where you'll learn about the safety features, gauges and how to enter and exit your stock car. Your instructor will answer any last minute questions you may have.

Now you are ready to experience what few people ever do. Get behind the wheel of an authentic Sprint Cup style stock car, racing at speeds up to 150 mph. All this at one of the country's premier showcases for speed, Michigan International Speedway!
