Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure

As close to NASCAR racing as you can get without a $10 million sponsor.

The Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure is the only driving experience that gives the driver 100% control. Go as fast as you want to go – up to 170 miles per hour. DJRA surpasses the “follow-the-leader” approach. On our tracks, you don’t follow behind a pace car. Pass fellow drivers and take the incredible high bank turns that NASCAR drivers take! Learn some of their skills like finding the line, drafting and passing for optimum fun.

The Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure has entertained more than 60,000 guests at over 50 NASCAR tracks across the USA. From the California Speedway outside Los Angeles and Altamonte Raceway Park in San Francisco to the Concord Speedway in New Hampshire and south to Florida’s Homestead-Miami Speedway. Since 1998, the DJRA has taken fun and excitement to a whole new level.

DJRA is the safest Adventure Track in America with a 100% safety record.

There used to be a great Texaco Truck stop there, where I could park and walk down to the local bar and get my mind right eat dinner and dance with the locals to the then local house band...

I got a new bench top grill and destroyed a perfect Rib Eye tonight. I couldn’t get enough heat out of the old one and this one I can’t regulate the heat...
