It's the closest thing you'll ever get to driving in a real stock car race as you put pedal to metal in a lean, mean racing machine and blast off around the awesome Pocono Raceway..
Prepare to burn some serious rubber over 32 laps as you follow in the scorched tire marks of the legends of NASCAR. You'll enjoy four timed racing sessions and will be amazed at how you gain in confidence and ability as your speeds increase and your lap times drop.
This fantastic driving experience begins with a pre-drive briefing where race seasoned pros will arm you with all the theory you'll need. But once behind that wheel and in full race gear, it's just going to be down to you and your raw driving skills!
Have you got what it takes to hit speeds of over 160mph as you swoop off the banks and power down the straights of this fabled track? Time to buckle up and find out what you're made of!
This is your chance to drive a real stock car, exactly like those driven by the pros on Sunday, at the super slick Pocono Raceway. With its incredibly long straight-aways, this amazing track allows participants to run faster speeds than most other locations. It also features three distinct corners, providing an excellent opportunity to experience the unbelievable cornering ability of a Sprint Cup Style stock car.
Cars will be assigned by height and weight on the day. All participants must be able to enter and exit the car on their own through a window opening 15" high x 30" wide and 36" off the ground. It is recommended that you have experience of operating a manual transmission car.
This experience takes place on regular pre-selected dates throughout the year. You should book well in advance of your preferred date.
