Originally I booked a driving experience for my husband, but he insisted I had to try it too, and I'm sure glad he did. Even if you aren't a NASCAR fan, this is a fantastic experience and one you should add to your list of 'life experiences'! The service was excellent, the drivers and crew were top-notch, the price was... More

I recently took part in the Mario Andretti Drive Along Experience at Phoenix Internation Raceway--thoroughly enjoyed myself and decided to also do the ride along in a Nascar so went back to the same track on Fri.-4/26 at approx. 10 AM. By going on a weekday in the morning there was hardly no crowd or waiting around and temperatures were... More

If you're a petrol head, then this is a must if you're in Vegas, I could have stayed out on the track all day!!

So after telling myself "if I ever go to Las Vegas I will do this" and passing it up the first time I just had to do it the second trip. Will where do I start. Got to the track a little early so just walked around outside for a bit near the open bay doors. Everyone was really friendly... More

Ok, it's riding in a 600 horsepower NASCAR style race car, on a real race track, going over 160 miles per hour, feeling the corners, and not seeing much, because your going so fast. It is an experience, and a FUN one!

We treated my father in law to this experience for his retirement present, my partner went to watch him and ended up driving to he really enjoyed it, he went 150mph but said he wanted t go faster but couldn't as he was following the pace car. He would do it again though as he enjoyed it.

Although on the expensive side, you without a doubt must do this. I did both the ride along and the rookie experience where I drove 8 laps. It was one of the best experiences of my life. My only disappointment, it went by too quickly. My pro drivers Robert and Jenny made me feel very safe and comfortable. I will... More

My husband and I both did the Ride Along during Nascar weekend. What we didn't like was confusion at the beginning. We were told to meet at the Lost and Found. But there were was no signage anywhere saying Richard Petty Driving Experience. And we were told to be at the lost and found at 4:30. Wow at 4:20 we... More

While the ride along was a blast once you got to actually do it and not just stand in one lineup after another, doing it on a race weekend was not the best idea. Here is what they don't tell you until after you book the experience. Reality is on race weekend you have to be there before 2 PM... More
