FEATURED EXHIBIT HALL ACTIVITY

The NASCAR Racing Simulator
sponsored by PERMATECH

You can experience a totally interactive simulated driving experience — “Drive” Jeff Gordon’s Pepsi #24

Visit Exhibit Hall B during show hours to test your driving skills.

NASCAR racing is synonymous with Charlotte. The city boasts the Lowe’s Motor Speedway, the largest sports facility in the Southeast, and the Queen City is located in the middle of North Carolina’s stock car country. The area is home to many of NASCAR’s most famous racing teams including Hendrick Motorsports and Dale Earnhardt, Inc.

A full-size, virtual motion, totally interactive NASCAR racing simulator will put you in the driver’s seat to experience the thrills of NASCAR racing.

Drive an actual Monte Carlo driven by Jeff Gordon, the NASCAR simulator will “run laps” for 3-4 minutes on Charlotte’s own Lowe’s Motor Speedway. The driver feels the excitement of high speed turns, hears the sounds, and feels the motion while “driving” a genuine, full-size retired NASCAR vehicle. You can actually feel the reaction of the car changing as the tires heat up. A daily “best driver” contest will take place, with prizes awarded each evening. On Wednesday, at the close of the show, a trophy will be awarded for the overall best time.

Be a part of the racing excitement . . .experience the Racing Simulator . . .and see the show!
