Description:
Experience real life racing thrills by riding in the passenger seat of a Sprint cup style stock car driven by a professional instructor.

After you've learned the basics about the car and track, it's time to strap on your helmet and racing suit, and buckle up for your high-speed adventure on a real NASCAR Speedway.

Your expert instructor will take you on the ride of your life as you hit real racing speeds!

Side by Side Option
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!

You're in for the ride of your life, so hang on tight!

I'm 67 years old and the "Ride Alone" was more fun than when I was 10 years old riding bumber cars at a caravel! 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.
