Isn't there a place to ride in a race car?

[N&B'smom]

I'm looking into finding out information about something I heard about in the past. I remember reading on here somewhere a year or so ago about a thing you can do at Disney where you ride in an actual race car around a track. I know it costs some $$$ but am wondering if someone could give me any info about it!!! Thanks in advance!

If you're really serious about it I would spend the couple extra $$ and do the Richard Petty Experience at Daytona. You don't need reservations for the ride along, and they have a lot of other "experiences."

I did a ride along in Las Vegas, and I think the experience doing this at a track that actually holds Nextel Cup races is totally awesome.
