Dover Motor Speedway NASCAR Style Racing Experience

No pace car to follow, passing allowed, no instructor in the car, and all laps are hot laps!

Your amazing NASCAR style race car driving experience begins with a classroom session where you’ll learn safety procedures, how to drive the racing line, braking techniques, and much more so you are ready to put the pedal to the metal.

Next comes the exciting part! You’ll get dressed in a full body driving suit, helmet, and HANS device. Then, climb through the window into the driver’s seat and buckle up the 5-point harness. The pit crew will connect the one-way radio to your helmet so you can hear your instructor while you’re on the track. They’ll be giving you advice on changing gears and braking points as you are racing around the track, helping you drive safely as you bring your speed up to an incredible level.

No previous race car driving experience required!

While you are laser focused on the track ahead and the roar of the engine drowns out every other thought, your friends and family can be on the sidelines cheering you on.

This experience gift is the perfect introduction to the fast and furious world of stock car racing, the perfect gift for someone who loves to go FAST!
