Buck Baker's Seat Time Racing School

Seat Time Racing Experience runs drive‑and‑ride programs using retired NASCAR cars and trucks at Charlotte Motor Speedway and other regional tracks. Programs range from 5‑lap ride‑alongs to multi‑lap solo drive packages and advanced head‑to‑head courses.

Bookings include classroom instruction, pit‑road briefings and full safety gear; participants reach typical speeds of 120–140 mph on larger tracks and must follow strict helmet and head/neck restraint rules.

You’ll suit up in a fireproof suit, helmet and head/neck restraint provided by the school and attend a classroom briefing before entering the pits.
