What happens on the day
Ready to make your racing dreams come true? Climb into a stock car and conquer the track at World Wide Technology Raceway!
After a quick classroom session covering vehicle dynamics, racing lines, and safety essentials, you'll head out to the track, where a powerful 500-horsepower stock car awaits. A crew member will buckle you in, check your radio, and give your instructor the all-clear. With the V8 roaring beneath your feet, you’ll pull onto the track and wait for the green flag. Then, it's time to race!
With real-time coaching from your instructor over the radio, you’ll navigate the track at your own pace, overtaking slower cars, drafting, and even experiencing the thrill of side-by-side racing. And the best part? With this incredible racing package, you'll have access to a variety of time slots, including sessions during peak hours (pending availability).
