Start your engines!
The Richard Petty Driving Experience has the green light for great times out at the Kansas Speedway.
Race fans have the chance to take the wheel, guiding 600+ horsepower at speeds well over 100 mph.
In fact, according to Operations Manager Mark Melvin, some novice drivers get it up to 130 mph!
If you’re riding shotgun, a seasoned driver will get you going closer to 165 mph!
Before nestling in through the window of one of 11 cars in the fleet, a driver-to-be takes about 30 to 45 minutes worth of instruction.
Then, they put on the gear and head for the track.
You can ride along for just over $100 or go all the way with total experiences in the thousands of dollars.
If you have the need for speed, do it in royal fashion and drive with The King - The Richard Petty Driving Experience.
