Rusty Wallace Racing Experience Coming to Thunder Road

Barre, VT – Next August, fans and racers will get the chance to experience Thunder Road in a whole new way. Track officials have announced that the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience will be coming to Thunder Road for the first time on Sunday, August 9, 2020, giving participants the opportunity to circle the high banks in a NASCAR-style stock car.

Both Driving Experience and Ride-Along Experiences are available that offer the thrill of a lifetime. The driving program allows fans or racers can pilot a 500+ horsepower race car for up to 50 laps. For the ride-along program, participants will ride in the passenger seat of a special two-seat race car while an instructor hits high speeds around the “Nation’s Site of Excitement”.

Those who wish to participate in the driving program must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver’s license. For the ride along program, participants must be at 14 years old. Anyone under the age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. More information is available at www.racewithrusty.com and www.racewithrusty.com/project/thunder-road-speedway.

“We’re thrilled to offer this for the central Vermont racing community,” Thunder Road managing partner Cris Michaud said. “This is a chance for people who otherwise would never get the chance to feel the rush of driving a high-horsepower race car to do just that. And they get to do it at one of their favorite tracks – without having to build their own car! We can’t wait for the Rusty Wallace Experience to make its first trip to Barre.”

The Rusty Wallace Racing Experience is the largest racing school in the United States. The program visits nearly 90 tracks annually around the country, from short tracks such as Thunder Road, White Mountain Motorsports Park, and Oswego Speedway to superspeedways like Atlanta Motor Speedway, Michigan International Speedway, and Homestead-Miami Speedway.
