I agree, its for a good cause, I road in one of Dale Erhnharts cars when I was a kid, got to do 3 laps around the track with Brendon Gauhn, "Nascar Truck Series driver" it was the craziest experience Ive ever had in a car, you couldnt even move at all...100$ got me that ride

A couple years ago my work rented out Road America for a day for a big international sales conference and we had Skip Barber take guys out on the track in Viper GTS. I volunteered to help work it and had to get up there early with another guy. Crazy is driving 100+ mph in an 18 passenger van around a road course. Then we did it in the Durango, then had some real fun in the Viper. Those instructors are some cocky guys, but man they can drive. Afterwards they let me drive the Viper with an instructor. And of course I got over confident and spun it out in turn 3.

The kart track is pretty cool. I work for Briggs who built the track. I used to know the Motorsports guys pretty good and we'd go up there every once in a while with some Karts and screw around.

3 laps for 16+ grand? It's cool and all but....3 laps for that much? I would personally rather spend thousands less and do one of those 'defensive driving' courses where they take you out in the twisty's in a high-performance ride.
still cool to see the innovation though...why does it say "one of the last chances to ride with him" is he switching sponsors or quitting all together?

Well, I guess We'll See what happens to Him. Theres so much BS going on with the Number eight Dale Jr. Car this year, and next... Think about all the people that Cheered for that Budweiser car... Because it said Budweiser on it.... Hmmm I dunno how he's gonna do next year...
