Yes you heard right, drive YOUR car around the big Nascar 1.5 mile oval track. I have done this before with a car club and it's a great event. Super thrill going through the big bank turns. Would be great to organize a group to go out and line em up in style. Can't tell you what the top speed may be. Have not done it in years but I know it depends on the group and the pace car driver. They are taking reservations for car clubs so (presumably) you get to go faster as opposed to getting grouped in people with their minivans and F350 diesels. (Yes people do drive those around the track for this event)
