"THANK YOU for such a wonderful adventure. I Drove in Talladega Al, my wife gave me 30 laps of a unforgetable adventure i will never forget. Your staff was such a pleasure to meet. My in car instructor was awesome and loves his job no doubt. My wife and I just wanted to say anybody thinking about this adventure need not think twice it is so well worth it.
This experience was much more exciting and enjoyable than the Richard Petty Driving Experience. Thanks so very much."

On the bank of the mighty Mississippi is Gateway International Raceway, an all-purpose racing facility hosting the NHRA O'Reilly Midwest Nationals on its 1/4-mile drag strip and the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series on its 1.25-mile oval. Gateway is the site of more than 250 racing events throughout the season. The facility hosts everything from local drag racing and drifting to the United Black Drag Racers' Association's "Black Sunday," the largest African-American motorsports event in the country. Gateway boasts a challenging 1.6-mile road course utilized by the Sports Car Club of America and a number of local, regional, and national racing clubs. In 2008, the track will begin its 12th season of providing intense racing action for the thousands of fans in St. Louis and the surrounding areas.
Just minutes from downtown St. Louis and in the shadow of the arch, Gateway International Raceway's multi-purpose motorsports facility is located at the intersection of Interstate 55-70 and Route 203 in Madison, Illinois.
“ During my 13-year road racing career, I have driven factory-prepared Ferrari racecars, Porsche, and BMW racecars, and many others. No doubt driving an actual Nextel type racecar on a large oval is quite an experience.”
