Product Description

Have you ever dreamed of being a professional racecar driver? It's time to make that dream a reality with the DRIVE a NASCAR experience at the Richmond International Raceway!

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

It's then time to get suited up in your racecar driving suit, strap on your helmet, and buckle up! You will start your engine, and speed away under the waving green flag, racing just like the professionals on Sundays!

Bring your family and friends to spend a day at the track, and watch you debut your racing skills.
