There are a number of options for all levels and all ages at the race track, including a ride-along, where a professional race car driver takes you on a 3-lap NASCAR-winning run at 160 mph! This costs about $99 for adults and $59 for kids. There are also options to drive for yourself; who knows, you may end up on the Richard Petty Driving Experience hall of fame!
Reservations are not required for ride-alongs, but it’s worth knowing that the crew take a lunch break between noon and 1pm. Other experiences must be booked in advance.
