Full description

This is no virtual reality experience; it's the real thrill of NASCAR, with you in the driver's seat of an actual stock car that's seen more action than a blockbuster movie. With options to race for 8-48 minutes, you get to decide how long you want to dance with the "Monster," hitting speeds that make 100 MPH look like child's play. And the best part? No annoying lead cars to follow or pace cars holding you back—just you, the track, and the freedom to push your limits.

Before you hit the gas, you'll get schooled on everything from vehicle dynamics to mastering those nail-biting 24-degree turns, ensuring you're not just fast but also safe. Then, suited up and strapped in, it's go-time. Feel the power of 600 horses rumbling beneath you as you unleash the beast on Dover's legendary concrete oval. Every lap is a battle against the "Monster," with each 9-degree straightaway and turn an opportunity to prove your mettle. And when the dust settles, you'll have more than just the rush of adrenaline to show for it—a graduate certificate with your top speed and a souvenir racing license will be your badges of honor. So, are you ready to tackle the "Monster Mile" and carve your name into the Dover International Speedway's history? Let's burn rubber and find out!

Robert H.

The thrill of speed on the tracks was exhilarating, and the staff's support and professionalism throughout the experience were truly outstanding. I'm grateful to the team for their exceptional service.

John Z.

The staff were incredibly welcoming, offering helpful reminders and advice on how to reach the venue. The wait was brief and well worth it, especially seeing my daughter's joy during her ride-along. The entire process, from arrival to the adrenaline-pumping ride, was seamlessly coordinated. I would definitely recommend this experience – it's an investment in pure excitement.

Elizabeth L.

The driving experience was nothing short of thrilling. We managed to fit in three sessions within eight minutes, which felt like the perfect amount of time. Being from the UK, we're no strangers to manual gears and sharp corners! A guide provided instructions through a headset, which helped us navigate the track and progressively increase our speed. Hitting speeds over 140 mph was exhilarating. Despite a brief interruption for a VIP guest, the staff accommodated us generously with extra track time, which was much appreciated.
