Montgomery, Alabama Stock Car Driving Experience

A unique experience gift that will make their dreams of racing a stock car come true!

This thrilling day at Montgomery Motor Speedway begins with meeting your veteran racing instructors. In the 45-minute orientation session they will cover safety procedures, driving techniques, and everything you need to get you driving like a professional!

No pace car to follow, no instructor in the car, and passing allowed! How fast you go is up to you!

Once the driver’s training session is complete, it’s into your racing suit, full-face helmet and slide through the window into the driver’s seat. Your instructor will connect the one-way radio to your helmet and make sure you are strapped into your 5-point harness. While you are on the racetrack, they will be communicating with you the whole time helping you drive safely, while at the same time, getting your speed up to a mind-blowing level.

No previous racing experience required!

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