Daytona Has Your NASCAR Racing Experience

By Melody Schubert @USATM

The countdown to the DAYTONA 500 has begun. Let the thrills begin as you slip behind the wheel of a car for your very own NASCAR Racing Experience. It's your turn to get behind the wheel and race the high-banks of the iconic superspeedway with the NASCAR Racing Experience this February.

"Race fans will have a unique opportunity to test their skills on the same track where their idols will compete for the legendary Harley J. Earl trophy," said Robert Lutz, chief executive officer for Diving 101. "Just like playing Augusta National during Masters Week, this DAYTONA Speedweeks experience is for the die-hard race fan and an ideal way to complete your ultimate DAYTONA 500 bucket-list trip."

The NASCAR Racing Experience will offer driving and ride-along opportunities at Daytona International Speedway on:

  • Friday, Saturday and Sunday, February 11-13, prior to DAYTONA Speedweeks
  • Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, February 15-17, alongside DAYTONA 500 Qualifying Presented by Busch Light
  • The Bluegreen Vacations Duel Races on the evening of February 17
  • Plus, Monday, February 21, following Sunday's DAYTONA 500

The NASCAR Racing Experience provides the most realistic racing experience available. Passing is allowed, there is no in-car instructor of lead car to pace the field. It makes the ideal holiday gift for any race fan or thrill seeker.

Fans, check the DAYTONA 500 schedules, news, and get tickets at the Daytona International Speedway website.
