Discover what it’s like to drive a race car like the pros do!
This is the perfect experience gift for the stock car racing fan in your life. Make their racing dream come true as they fire up the mighty engine and unleash a 400-horsepower racing machine around a 5/8-mile oval short track.
When you arrive at Holland Speedway, you’ll have an in-depth 45-minute pre-driving briefing with racing instructors and then get dressed in a full-face helmet and a fire-retardant driving suit over your clothes. The pit crew will get you ready to tackle the track and the car.
Once you’re inside the stock car, you'll need to put it all into practice as you unleash that mighty V8. These are real stock cars!
While you are on the track, a crew member will be in your ear the whole time on the one-way radio in your helmet, helping you drive safely while, at the same time, getting your speed up to a spectacular level.
