This Track Day provides racing fans and thrill seekers with a unique chance to sit behind the wheel and drive a real 500-plus horsepower Sprint Cup style racecar around an 5/8 Mile High Banked Oval! Your Driving Experience begins with a one-hour Drivers Meeting which covers instruction on driving techniques, safety procedures and everything you need to know to prepare you for this thrilling adventure. Before getting behind the wheel you will take a narrated van ride around the track to learn the all about the racing line. Once the Driver’s training session is complete, it’s time to suit up, strap in and put the pedal to the metal! Before you hit the track, a crewmember will buckle you in and check your radio. When the thumps up is given, it’s time start your engine, hear that V8 roar, and pull onto the track! So, take a deep breath and prepare for the ride of your life as you race around the track for ten electrifying laps. This Stockcar Racing experience is the perfect unique gift for every racing fan!

My family and I had a great day at the track. However the waiting was to long. Very disorganized. They said to be there at 11:00. I did not drive until 2:00 pm. My car was very slow compared to other ones #5. The host was wonderful the people were so friendly. It will be a memorable moment in my life.The day could use some improvements.

Stockcar Short Track Driving
From begining to end, this was a pleasure. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The cars were 'the real thing'. They race the cars that you drive. Some of them were actual cup cars. Make sure to buy extra laps if you're really interested in driving. The time goes by much too quickly and it takes a few laps to get the feel of it. This is a great gift to give yourself or anyone who thinks they want drive a race car.

LOVED IT!
The entire process was handled very professionally. The pre-ride information was very detailed, the class was informal but extremely detailed and having the track in front of us helped me clarify the written materials provided. The entire team is very experienced and the radio communication during the driving was very helpful in making the entire day fun and safe.

Nascar Experience
A gift from my kids, what a great time. It was a super day, I talked my wife into the ride along with a pro, she loved it and wants to drive next time. The staff was great everybody puts a lot of work into making it a special day. My instructor Tom made me feel at ease and safe with the car. It was so worth it. Glad we did it! Thanks to everybody who made this happen for me. Get out there and do it, you wont regret it.

Had a great time, I've worked on race cars for a lot of years but never had a opportunity to drive one. This experience completed my racing career. Thank you!

Lane Driving School Review
They were great. This is about the only place that actually lets you 'race' their cars, going as fast as you can and passing. The people are helpful, friendly and interested in you having a good time. Highly recommended.

There was a bit of a mixup with our time which was our fault but the staff was extremely professional and were able to accommodate us after. We traveled from long island ny and would return and recommend this xperience to anyone!!! My husband came out with a cheese smile and thas what counted!!!

Stockcar Short Track Driving
The whole experience was exceptional! Far exceeded my husband's expectations! Over all A GREAT DAY @ the races!! We will be back!!!

Great experience
Do it! If you even are considering getting this for your partner, do it. It was my first time driving a race car and it was so much fun. I recommend doing the drive along with a pro before doing it yourself. It was an eye opener to learn what the car could really do. You then take either the same car or a similar car out on the track and have a point of comparison. The drive along was very fun in itself so get that for yourself as well. I would definitely do this again!

My Birthday Gift
Fantastic experience! It surpassed all my expectations, the Staff at Thompson Speedway were great too. Will definitely do it again.
- Aimee Colon - Thompson International Speedway, Wednesday, June 20, 2012
A LOT of fun
This is as real as it gets. A lot of fun and they really let you open up the throttle unlike most places. AND they encourage passing and racing at your own speed. Great place to race!
- Travis Hopkins - Boston MA, Tuesday, June 19, 2012
Awesome Driving Experience
If you love driving you will definitely enjoy this experience! I had high expectations and it surpassed even that. A much different experience from street driving one every enthusiast should try at least once. I will be back for more!
