So my b-day was wednesday and after going to Dunnville Saturday my wife got some inspiration and bought me the Richard Petty Drving Experience!!!
I’m going to Lowe’s Motor Speedway in July and I’ll be doing hot laps in a 600hp NASCAR racecar all day!!! My wife is the greatest wife on the planet.
Anyone ever do it?
EDIT: I had to edit the title so that people don’t think my wife is Richard Petty… thanks Josh

I thought you were saying that your wife was Richard Petty, lol.
I’ve never been, but you better get some good pictures!

You are going to “love” your wife like never before after this.
I did this a few years ago at Lowes. IT WAS AWESOME.
Do you know what level she bought you?
I did the Rookie experience. 8 laps following an instructor. The better you pace with the instructor, the faster you will go. (up to about 145mph)

I did this in Vegas 2 years ago. Was a great time. I suggest a ride along as well because then they really get you up to speed.

I hope thats not serious or where were you on the boards for like a 2 month span.
Also nice pic Jagermeister of the #25 car. I beileve that was Vickers car? I have a model of it on my desk. Too bad GMAC got out of the Nascar business, I enjoyed the free tickets.
