Rusty Wallace Racing Experience Reviews 1,945

This was the best experience ever! My dad has a bad leg that doesn't bend much, and they helped him into the car with no problem. Everyone was AMAZING! We did the side by side racing and it was an experience of a lifetime. We both had so much fun and have been raving about it to everyone. We both HIGHLY recommend doing this!

It was a great time Art and everyone involved was awesome I had so much fun thank you for making my day!🙂. Marty

My time at the RWE was awesome. Class instructor as informative and enjoyable. All of the crews were very helpful and courteous. Was worth every penny spent!

I drove, did the ride along, and I cannot tell you what one was better. I would recommend the ride along first just for the speed around the track. From the driver meeting to getting you on the track it is one of the best experiences I had in my life. Thank you to Rusty Wallace experience at Michigan international speedway for the best day ever.

Dennis, Daniel and Art were wonderful great day for my husband and myself!

This is old but with Father’s Day coming up it reminds me of this. I purchased this experience for my husband in 2019 for Father’s Day. We had to schedule for 2020. Well then COVID happened and I tried emailing to reschedule. No one would respond nor could we speak with anyone. Im just upset my husband never enjoyed his gift nor did we receive a refund.

Team Was great!! Did it at the Seekonk Speedway. Rolan the Ride-along-driver was awesome. He was very personal and took the time to work through everything with you.

I thought the ride along was a waste of money. Was expecting some guidance or instruction from the “professional” and did not get one word besides “hello”. Short track experience is also a bust. Was off the accelerator more that on it. Won’t do it again at these prices. Not even sure I got my full 10 laps. Was over, literally, in 5 minutes. Maybe an experience on a real speedway would offer more fun and excitement. Shared these feelings in an email directly to the company the next day and got zero response. Guess they’re really not interested in hearing directly from their customers???

I bought this for my boyfriend, he loved it! Art was absolutely great and very clear with the rules, and covered all questions asked in the class. The ride along prior to driving helped get an idea of how the track was laid out visually, Art did explain every move you’d be making once in the car! My boyfriend said the spotter was also very clear and helped make for a good experience as his first time with RW racing! The whole team from Art, to Julia, to all the crew on Pit Road were extremely nice and he will definitely be doing it again.

I just did 10 laps at Charlotte on Apr 3, 2022 and the crews there are AMAZING!!!! Super helpful and friendly. They made my experience one that I will never forget. Everything was explained very thoroughly and all direction were clear and easy to understand. The track was great and the cars were in great condition. My wife was able to stand right there by the pits to take photos and video. I bought the in car video as well. Overall, this was the greatest experience in my life. (And I've done a lot of cool stuff. LOL) I HAVE to do this again. HUGE thanks to all the great people involved in this progress. They are amazing.

Did ten laps at Charlotte Motor Speedway 4/3/22. What a blast!!!! Beautiful weather, everyone was polite and helpful. Gave us total access to the entire place. Thru the tunnel, inside the Nascar garage, drivers meeting room and pit road. To hammer it down the backstretch was exhilarating!!!!! To all you whiners, stay home. All policies are clear and gone over several times. Special shout out to the photography ladies for making my day extra special! Gonna do it again!!!!!!

This was bought for me as I gift to race in August 2022, I have no interest in racing and will not use it but the company has an all sales is final policy so even though they had 5 months notice I wouldn’t be attending they refuse to issue a refund.
In my opinion this is a blatant money grab because they have incurred zero expense to date therefore there is no reason not to refund.
I wonder what the Federal Trade Commission might think of these company practices?

Rusty Wallace Racing Experience at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Spotters obviously do not know what they are doing!!!! Bought an upgrade on the car for more speed…. I’ve driven before so I am not inexperienced. They put you out there with several other drivers whether they have driven before or not. I was passing others several times and each time the spotter talked me through it. I was passing someone for the second or third time when they started coming up on me, pushing me toward the wall going into turn 1. The spotter said NOTHING. I “lifted” but the other driver did NOT “lift and left” and ran me into the wall. The spotter THEN starts talking again to tell me to pit then the guy on pit road tells me “you’re done” and tells me the spotter said it was my fault because I didn’t wait to hear him say to pass…..WAIT?? When driving at least 135 mph??!! Then they made me pay the $1000 insurance deductible. Would not recommend using RW Racing Experience!!!! They put drivers driving interstate speed on the track with cars doing full speed and if someone else causes you to wreck, it’s automatically your fault even with the closing speeds and there is no time to react to slower drivers. Especially without a spotter!!!! Oh, and they also wouldn’t give us the video we had already paid for because they need it for insurance purposes. I wonder if it will even show the wreck if and when we ever receive it “in the mail”?!

Phoenix Raceway. 36 laps. Issues-they upsell to Gen6 car. 4 of us paid for it. They only had 1 car at the track. Did not get my refund. Passing, spotters way late or do not say anything at all when needing to pass. Finally gave up on them and passed on my own. Even the Gen6 car had a rev limiter, after about 5 laps I hit it down both straight aways every lap (unless held up by slower cars). No way it was going 155. Over all fun but could have been much better. They should have classes based on experience and sacredness. And get rid of the rev limiters.

wow what can i say. just got home from the rusty wallace driving experience. all the staff are professionals. this has got to be the biggest bang for the buck in racing there is. you have so much freedom on the track. i did the 10 lap shootout at charlotte motor speedway. have been wanting to do this for a long time. thanks to all the staff for providing me a great experience

Absolutely AWESOME! If you THINK you can drive a car fast, you need to test your skills with this. There was a bunch of people there, but not 1 person in the staff made you feel rushed or like you weren't important. They will take their time with you, making sure you have a great time. I thought I could drive, I was really humbled!!! I'm doing this again for sure. DEFINITELY DO THE RIDE ALONG before you drive. It shows you how the track should feel when you drive fast and how the car feels and sounds at higher speeds. And get extra laps when you drive. I did 16, and seems like it went by in 5 minutes. What a blast! Thanks to all the crew!

This was a great experience. Art is a great instructor and made you feel comfortable. The ride along was awesome. He really gave a great experience! My only problem was my car didn’t have power steering. For an old man, it was a tough go.

Tried to get this for my dad and they misguided him where registration was and never gave him the option to register after he realized where he was supposed to register. Very poor customer service from Bill, Brooke, and Amber.

My father and I went to bristol sunday Oct 24. 2021. It was a neat experience but could've been 1000 times better. My dad has hearing aids and we told them this repeatedly and we was assured all is fine. Well the second he gets in the car and geared up he tells the instructor that only one mic is working ( because just like the cars they are dated from the 90s) he says it will be fine sends him on his way. After he runs his laps and hearing static from the mic a few times the pit boss is attempting to flag him down which obviously as the drivers meeting states keep your eyes on what's in front of you he doesn't see him until the pit boss makes his way over the wall to flag him down. The second he sees him he pulls off and makes his way back to pit row where he is met by the pit boss yelling and screaming at him asking why he didn't pull off the track. My dad is apologizing repeatedly and telling him he couldn't hear anything with the gear they gave us as he told the instructor who put him in the car. The pit boss never eases up and continues to basically rip the gear off him in a very un professional way. After this happens its time for me to get in my car. Our friend also made 12 laps in a normal car. He pulls in gets out of the car and they say you're next well I paid 160 dollars more to have the rpm package. I asked the instructor if this was one of those cars and tells me yes he can turn them all up. That was fine until it never happened. I made 16 laps in a car that would literally fall on its face coming out of the turns and struggled to keep pace around the track. After the garbage my dad just went through we were done at this point. Like anything in life it takes 1 person to ruin it. Art the guy that did the class was awesome bit the second you got to pit row it was a complete crap show. They are shoving guys in and out of cars as fast as humanly possible not paying attention to the paper work which for people like me means alot considering I paid 160 dollars in upgrades that were ignored completely. Safety should be a major concern here most of all. If the drivers cant here you then that is a major problem. I hear fine and also had trouble hearing the spotter. I was basically guessing that I was told to either get down the track or pull off. I hope this actually gets read and I get contacted back.

My wife did the ride along and driving. It was awesome. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Check in was easy and quick. Drivers class taught by Art was excellent. Pit crew was great and made my wife feel at ease. Overall once in a lifetime experience.
