It's good to be the King in the Richard Petty Driving Experience at Kansas Speedway

When you’ve shopped at the Legends during the summer months, you may have noticed the unmistakable scream of racing engines coming from Kansas Speedway, even on an off weekend. Chances are it isn’t Dale Earnhardt, Jr. shaking down the AMP Energy Chevy. More likely, you’re hearing a bunch of hot, happy people taking part in the Richard petty Driving Experience (RPDE).

The RPDE is more like an amusement park ride than an actual driving school. The gist of it is that you go out and follow an experienced driver around Kansas Speedway behind the wheel of an old Sprint Cup-type car. You can go as fast as you are comfortable driving, as long as you stay within the boundaries set by the pylons on the track, and you slow down if the leader waves you off.
