The “Feel the Thrill Tour” includes a close-up look at areas that are off-limits on race days. Visit the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series garage, travel down pit road and take a picture in Victory Circle. The highlight of this one hour tour is a comfortable van ride around the super speedway where you will fell the full-tilt force of the 24-degree banking.
