Looking for different things to do in Kansas City, we found that the speedway offered ride alongs with a professional driver. It’s only three laps around the oval, but you’ll be smiling and laughing and wahooing the whole time! They suit you up in a jumpsuit and helmet, then help you climb into the passenger seat through the window. Suddenly there are a bunch of hands buckling you in and one hand in a thick glove extending from the driver’s seat for a firm handshake. Rob, our new favorite NASCAR driver, gave us a thrilling but safe taste of what it’s like to be hurled around the track. Worth every penny and definitely an experience everyone should add to their bucket lists!

Well I will start by saying this was a Christmas gift from my wife and daughter, our time slot was for 8 am but said to be there 30-45 minutes early so we showed up 30 minutes ahead, their directions of where you should be were lousy, no signage and then when we found it we weren’t told which area to be in so we ended up in the riders area and not the area for drivers to register, well after getting registered and fitted for a racing suit they kept telling us it’ll be just about 10 minutes but we waited over an hour after the 30 minutes we showed up early before the safety video even started, when we did get to the track it wasn’t long before I was in my car getting ready to drive, I can tell you the racing experience was totally awesome and would love to do it again, but after I was done we went to the trailer where instructed to get my license back and view the video that we could purchase they told us all their video got was the first lap so they couldn’t sell it to us because the video system glitches or something, this was really disappointing since I probably won’t get to ever do it again, the driving experience itself was awesome but not too happy with the late starts and the video issue

We purchased a ride along for my husband for his 30th birthday, originally purchased in October 2017.He absolutely loved the experience and will be talking about it for a long time. We arrived 30 minutes earlier than the arrive time indicated and came to see a huge lineup of people waiting for their rides. Unfortunately the time slot that we signed up for was not respected. They only had 2 ride along cars going. We waited over 2 hours in line before his turn. After his 2 minute ride he said he’d do it all over again, so I guess it was well worth the wait!

Bought Husband and Father in Law the ride along. They absolutely loved it. You do have to suit up and wear a tight fitting helmet. Also, you have to slide in and out of passenger side--it's a tight fit and requires some maneuvering. The ride is about 3 laps--enough they said to feel the power and the skill required to drive a NASCAR. About 165 mph reached. The people working there were funny and friendly. You can take pictures and film on your phone. It was very organized also. The parking is close--just follow signs and you park almost next to track. Worth the price.

We arrived early Saturday am to do our ride with a driver at Kansas Speedway. Staff was simply awesome, couldn't say enough good things about everyone! Very nice people. Completely different perspective on how I will look at the track. Laps were a lot of fun. However, cost was a little over $100.00 for two laps that may have lasted 3 minutes. To buy the video and picture was over $50.00. Maybe more like another $100.00 so I passed.Great time but at the expense, won't do it again.
