Las Vegas Race Car Driving - Richard Petty Rookie Experience

Description

Reach speeds only legal on the race track in an once-in-a-lifetime experience. Get in the drivers seat and enjoy 8 laps around the speedway in a 358 cubic inch V-8 NASCAR style racecar that roars with 600HP. The Rookie Experience lasts 3 hours and if that’s not enough you can upgrade to the Rookie Tour with transportation included and behind-the-scenes action!

You’ll begin your Rookie Experience with a mandatory orientation which includes two elements of safety and instruction training, in-car and on-track instruction. This will give you a chance to ask questions and learn everything you to need to know about the racing experience. You’ll also get a photo session outside of your racecar before taking off on the track.

After the driver’s meeting, you'll be suited up in a regulation helmet, neck guard and drivers suit for your safety. Then you can enjoy 1 to 2 hours of fun-filled driving in your professional NASCAR stock car. After successfully completing your 8 laps, you’ll receive a graduation packet that includes a time sheet with a breakdown of each lap driven.

Upgrade to the Rookie Tour option with transportation to and from the Speedway. Additionally, receive an overview of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the largest sporting venue on the West Coast of the United States. Tour the Richard Petty Driving Experience Race Shop as well as a stop at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Gift Store to find your favorite race gear.
