This is the perfect experience gift for the stock car racing fan in your life!

Your racing adventure begins when you arrive at Oswego Speedway. At the driver’s orientation session, seasoned racing instructors get you ready for the incredible power and speed you are about to experience. They’ll go over safety procedures, entering and exiting the track, finding the line, the flags used, passing and much more. You’ll get geared up in a full-face helmet and a fireproof racing suit over your clothes.

Then comes the exciting part! You’ll slide through the window, into the driver’s seat, get strapped into your 5-point harness and connect your one-way radio to your helmet so you can hear your instructor while you’re driving around the track. As you’re driving, you'll get advice on all aspects of racing including cornering, break points, changing gears and accelerating the whole way through. Their aim is to get you driving safely and faster and faster.

No previous stock car racing experience needed!

With their loved ones on the sidelines watching, this is guaranteed to be an unforgettable adventure for racing fans and thrill seekers alike and makes a truly unique experience gift!
