This Nascar Driving Experience was a Christmas gift from my wife. We scheduled my drive for Saturday October 21st at 9:00 AM. This was one of the most exciting experiences of my life. Everything went smooth from beginning to end, including directions to the Media Center where signs were posted along the way. Parking was very close to the Media Center. Once inside the lady was very nice and helpful explaining everything and fitting us with a driving suit which was a perfect fit. Next we watched a training video and after the video there was someone to answer any questions that we had. Just a short walk to the pit area where my wife had a covered area and chairs to sit in to watch. We were fitted with a helment and a short wait to get in our cars. The people at the pit area that got our helments and helped us get in the car were very helpful and reassuring. Dillon, the person in the tower that I talked with on the radio was very helpful and patient and gave detailed instructions all the time I was driving. The car I was driving was very powerful and once on the track it was a great thrill and a very exciting experience. It is hard to describe in words. I loved every minute of it. In summary, I would highly recommend the Nascar Driving Experience.

What happens on the day
Put the pedal to the metal with this NASCAR stock car racing experience at the EchoPark Speedway near Atlanta!
Your action-packed day kicks off with a quick classroom session, where an expert instructor covers racing fundamentals and essential safety. You’ll get familiar with your powerful 500-horsepower stock car, learn racing lines, and understand track rules before heading out to the course. A crew member will buckle you in, check your radio, and give the all-clear. With the V8 engine rumbling beneath you, you’ll roll out and wait for the wave of the green flag. Then, it's time to race!
With real-time coaching from your instructor via a built-in helmet radio, you’ll learn how to navigate corners, build speed on the straights, and even experience the thrill of overtaking other cars. And the best part? With this flexible racing package, you'll have access to a variety of time slots, including sessions during peak hours (pending availability).

Hold on tight! During a 3-lap ride along, you'll ride shotgun with a professional driver as they put the stock car's power and speed to the test.

Most awesome experience I ever had. I did not believe they were actually going to let me drive a NASCAR around Atlanta Motor Speedway until I was strapped in the car. Everyone was ver nice and helpful.
