Description:
Climb into a real Sprint Cup style stock car with a professional driver, sit back and enjoy the ride. Experience first hand what it's like to run qualifying laps at Michigan International Speedway!

Feel the G-force and the rush as your race car dives down into turn one then accelerates out of turn two just inches from the wall, reaching speeds up to 150 mph. Slower traffic up ahead? No problem as your driver puts the pedal to the metal and you blow right by.

After this heart pounding experience making laps, we guarantee you will climb out of your race car grinning from ear to ear. You're in for the ride of your life, so hang on tight!

We had purchased this experience as a surprise birthday gift for my nephew, Nick. My experience in both booking with you and in speaking with the racing school was a pleasure - both parties were very friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either of you. Thank you for helping us make my nephew's birthday one he'll always remember!
