Bristol Motor Speedway NASCAR Style Racing Experience

Get behind the wheel and drive a stock car used in competitions by a real NASCAR team!

Your stock car racing experience begins with a classroom orientation session where you will learn driving techniques, safety procedures and everything you’ll need for a safe but ridiculously fast race car driving experience.

Next, it’s time to get suited up in your racing suit and full-face helmet. Climb into the driver’s seat, get buckled into your 5-point harness and check the one-way radio in your helmet. While you are on the track, your instructor will be communicating with you the entire time helping you to drive safely as  you get your stock car racing around Bristol Motor Speedway’s oval at incredible speeds.

No previous race car driving experience required!

This is the perfect gift for that special person in your life who loves to go FAST. Make their dreams come true with a racing experience where they’ll fire up a 500-horsepower racing machine and drive a NASCAR style race car like the pros do!
