BROOKLYN, Mich. (WILX) -People across Michigan got the chance to get a full NASCAR experience at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday.
The NASCAR experience allows people to feel like a NASCAR driver. To be a driver, those who attended had to participate in a training program that would allow them to drive a car on the track. Or people had the chance to hit the track to get the experience as a passenger.
Michelle Braymar, a participant, talked about her experience inside one of the cars.
“You know, it’s uh it’s a lot more squished and cramped than I imagined,” Said Braymar. “It was pretty cool. You didn’t really quite realize, like how long he talks about this, uh, but how the car kind of does lead you through and kind of helps you through it. So, to me it was pretty high adrenaline, pretty awesome experience.”
People will be able to get another big experience soon, when the big-name drivers will be making a stop in Michigan on June 8, for the Firekeepers Casino 400.
