Morris, Illinois NASCAR Style Driving Experience

This is real racing, real FAST!

Your race seasoned instructors will get you prepared with all the racing theory and the information needed to make sure you get the fastest possible laps. They’ll explain how to enter and exit the track, flags used, passing, finding the line, and much more.

Then, its time to feed the need for speed and climb into the driver’s seat. A crew member will make sure you are secured into your 5-point racing harness and your one-way radio is connected to your helmet. Once you're in the drivers seat it's all down to you and your driving skills to get the lap speeds up and lap times down!

No pace car to follow - No instructor in the car - All laps are hot laps - Passing allowed

Just like in a real race, you'll be allowed to pass other cars as you battle to get the checkered flag. It’s just you alone in the car.  Stock car driving experiences don’t get any more authentic than this!

Feel the freedom that only comes with controlling a real race car at Morris’ Grundy County Speedway.

No previous stock car racing experience required!

Whether you are a NASCAR fan dreaming of driving like the pros do or looking for a unique experience gift for some who loves to go FAST, this NASCAR Style Racing Experience in Morris Illinois is the definitely the way to go!
