Cure for the Summertime "I'm Bored" Effects: Tour Texas Motor Speedway for $8!

Summer is a time for vacationing and fun events. Add Texas Motor Speedway’s facility tour to your list; it’s a must-see! Speedway World, Texas Motor Speedway’s official store, offers tours of the speedway’s 1,500 acre facility.

Enjoy a ride around property in an air-conditioned van with several stops along the way. The tour gets underway with a lap around “The Great American Speedway!™” (Subject to availability.) Then see what it’s like to pull into a pit box on the infamous Pit Road. Follow this with a trip to Victory Lane where you can take a photo with friends and family. It’s the same place where your favorites like Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart and more celebrated their victories. Then enjoy the breathtaking view high atop the speedway in a Luxury Suite.

Tours are available every day of the week for only $8! Discounts are available for seniors 65+ and children under 12 years old. Speedway World’s weekly hours are Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Call ahead to (817)215-8565 and reserve your tour in advance.

Drive Your Car Like a Racecar

Did you know that racecar is one of those words that is the same word both forward and backward? Go ahead, check it, I'll wait. . . . See? But that's mostly irrelevant to this post.

There always seems to be something fun going on at “The Great American Speedway!”™ This Saturday is the “Laps for Charity” benefiting Speedway Children’s Charities at Texas Motor Speedway. Instead of watching race cars speed past you from your seat in the grandstands, you get a chance to take the wheel and experience the 1.5-mile superspeedway oval from an entirely different perspective! Come over to Texas Motor Speedway anytime between 5-10 pm Saturday and take your very own car out on the track for three laps behind a pace vehicle. It will cost you only $30 to experience the thrill of the race track and to gain even more respect for your favorite race car drivers. For an additional $10, you can even have your picture taken in Victory Lane! Click here for all the details.

If you want to REALLY make this an experience, you can purchase the VIP Laps Experience for $250. With this purchase, you are guaranteed a reserved time for a five-lap driving session, a photo in Victory Lane, two event t-shirts, a two-week trial membership to The Speedway Club, and dinner for two in The Speedway Club on Saturday evening. Such an amazing deal! Be sure to claim your VIP Laps Experience soon because they are limited and must be purchased in advance! All you have to do is contact Speedway Children’s Charities at (817) 215-8421 and you will be on your way to a great Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway.

Sounds like a good way for my sister to drive her car like a bat out of hell without worrying about those pesky HP cops. Have fun!
