Track officials have announced that the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience will be coming to Thunder Road for the first time on Sunday, August 9, 2020, giving participants the opportunity to circle the high banks in a NASCAR-style stock car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Driving Experience and Ride-Along Experiences are available that offer the thrill of a lifetime. The driving program allows fans or racers can pilot a 500+ horsepower race car for up to 50 laps. For the ride-along program, participants will ride in the passenger seat of a special two-seat race car while an instructor hits high speeds around the \u201cNation\u2019s Site of Excitement\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who wish to participate in the driving program must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver\u2019s license.

And they get to do it at one of their favorite tracks \u2013 without having to build their own car! We can\u2019t wait for the Rusty Wallace Experience to make its first trip to Barre.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rusty Wallace Racing Experience is the largest racing school in the United States.
