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

A crew member will buckle you in, check your radio and give the "thumbs up" sign to your instructor. Start your engine, hear that V8 roar and pull onto the track! Then the green flag flies and it's "pedal to the metal".

As your instructor coaches you over the radio you will drive at your own pace, passing slower cars when you catch them.
