Full description

Darlington isn't just any track; it's the "track too tough to tame," with its infamous 1.36-mile asphalt snaking through 23-25 degrees of banking in the turns that have made legends sweat in their fire suits. After a drivers' meeting packed with training, instruction, and probably a few racing secrets, you're not just hitting the gas—you're setting the pace, driving a NASCAR race car through timed sessions that are all about you finding your fastest self.

Forget following a lead car or having an instructor cramping your style in the passenger seat. It's just you, the car, and a spotter's voice over the in-car radio, giving you real-time tips to shave off those seconds and hit those eye-watering speeds. Every 8 minutes of track time, you'll pull a quick pit stop, then it's back to the asphalt to push even harder. And when you catch up to slower cars? Pass them. Oh yes, passing is not just allowed; it's encouraged. Darlington is waiting to see what you've got, and this is your shot to leave your mark on one of NASCAR's most storied tracks. Strap in and show the "Lady in Black" what you're made of.

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.
