Experience first-hand the thrill and excitement of racing in a Sprint Cup NASCAR stock car.
After a short classroom session where you will learn vehicle dynamics, racing lines, and safety instruction, you will head out to the track to find your 600 HP Sprint Cup stock car waiting.
A crew member buckles you in, checks your radio, and gives the "thumbs up" sign to your instructor. Start your engine, hear that V8 roar, and pull onto the track! Then the green flag flies and it's "pedal to the metal".
As your instructor coaches you over the radio you will drive at your own pace, passing slower cars when you catch them.
You can choose from a variety of lap options, but don't be surprised if you leave wanting more!
