Feel the thrill of authentic stock car action first-hand from the passenger seat
as
you experience side-by-side racing, drafting, passing and more!
RPDE is taking you one step closer to experiencing first-hand the thrill and excitement
of stock car racing with our Ultimate Race Experience (URE) Ride-Along program.
Your day begins with an
introductory session in the media center. You'll climb in your driving suit and
head to pit row with your team to meet your driver. Each team works together to
determine the best pit strategy and technique for members to rotate through pit
crew duties, acting as bucklers, sign holders, window washers and more. Then the
first rider is buckled in the car while the rest of the crew prepares for some fast-paced
pit stop action!
After the drivers scuff their tires and prepare to race, the flagman drops the green
and the race is on. The yellow flag is dropped after the first round and all cars
return to the pits. The competition really heats up as the first passenger climbs
out of the car and the pit crew gets to work.

Just like real racing, the team with the best pit stop usually ends up in winner's
circle so speed, accuracy and consistency are essential each time the car enters
the pits. Each team must complete all tasks before their car races to the inspection
line to secure a top position on the starting grid. RPDE officials inspect each
car for race-readiness and assess a penalty for any infractions, which can result
in your car being sent to start at the back of the pack!
Following inspection, the cars roar to life and take to the track again. Cheer your
driver on as the pace car leads the pack back to the battle ground. When the flag
drops, the high-speed adventure continues as cars race, pass and draft toward the
waving checkered flag and a Victory Lane celebration!
