Raleigh NASCAR Style Racing Experience

No pace car to follow, no instructor in the car, passing allowed, and all laps are hot laps!

Your amazing race car driving experience begins with a classroom session where you’ll learn how to drive the racing line, braking techniques, safety procedures, and more to get you ready to put the pedal to the metal.

Once your orientation session is complete, you’ll get dressed in a driving suit and helmet, and climb through the window into the driver’s seat.

Before you step on the gas and soar out onto the track, a crew member will make sure your 5-point racing harness is tight and connect the one-way radio to your helmet. Through the radio, your instructor will give you advice the entire time you are on the racetrack, helping you get your speed up to an incredible level in a safe way.

No previous race car driving experience required!

This experience gift is a great introduction to the fast and furious world of stock car racing, perfect for someone who loves to go FAST!
