Prepare for the thrill of a lifetime when you drive a Stock Car at Thompson International Speedway!
Experience first-hand the thrill and excitement of racing in a Sprint Cup style stock car!
After a classroom session where you will learn vehicle dynamics, racing lines and safety instruction, head out to the track to find your 560-plus horsepower Sprint Cup style stock car waiting. A crew member will buckle you in, check your radio and gives the "thumbs up" sign to your instructor. It's time to start your engine, hear that V8 roar and pull onto the track!
As your instructor coaches you over the radio, you will drive at your own pace passing slower cars when you catch them. Feel the exhilaration from flag to flag as you experience side-by-side racing, passing, pit stops and more.
You can choose from a variety of lap options, but don't be surprised if you leave wanting more!
