What You'll Get
Racecar driving, like reading, dating, and testifying in front of a grand jury, is most exhilarating when experienced at high speed. Jolt your adrenaline with today's Groupon: for $115, you get a four-lap ride-along racing experience with Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure at the Talladega Superspeedway (a $195 value). Riders must be between 5 feet and 7 feet tall and weigh between 100 pounds and 350 pounds.
The Talladega Superspeedway reigns as the world's fastest racetrack, where drivers navigate the 2.66-mile raceway at speeds of up to 180 mph. Slip into a fire-retardant racing suit, full-face helmet, and 5-point harness while strapping into the passenger's seat of a Sprint Cup or Nationwide series stock car with a professional instructor. Each four-lap racing experience simulates a qualifying run as drivers zip down straightaways and fit around curves more tightly than a checkered flag unitard. Dale Jarrett's drivers give all auto adrenaline junkies their fix in the same high-speed racing realm that safely protects professionals from harm.
Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure boasts a high-society roster of Sprint/Nationwide series cars purchased from Mark Martin, Bobby Labonte, and other NASCAR mainstays. Many exhibit varying degrees of acceleration to meet the needs of all driver-rider teams. When finished speeding down a raceway lined with enhanced barriers and retaining walls, slow down to stroll through the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, open daily and located adjacent to the Talladega Superspeedway complex.
