Product Description

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to drive a real Sprint Cup stock car? Experience the adrenaline rush as you race around at top speeds in the Drive a Stock Car experience at the Thompson International Speedway!

After a short classroom session where you'll learn about vehicle dynamics, racing lines, and safety instructions, you'll head out to the track to find your 500 horsepower Sprint Cup stock car waiting.

A crew member will buckle you in and check your radio, and then it's time to race! Put the pedal to the metal as you speed away under the waving green flag. You will be able to drive at your own pace, passing slower cars as you catch them. Experience side-by-side racing, passing, pit stops, and more!

Choose from a variety of lap options, but don't be surprised if you leave wanting more! This is the perfect bucket-list experience for the racing enthusiast!

About the Thompson International Speedway
