Instruction is offered by professional racing instructors, and authentic race day activities are reenacted, including drivers’ meetings with crew chiefs and in-car radio communications. The track is one of three tracks in the nation to offer the program’s Advanced Racing Experience, which allows participants to embark on a full 40-lap course experience.
