Richard Petty Driving Experience Announces “Teens Ride FREE” Program

Loudon, NH — Richard Petty Driving Experience (RPDE), the world leader in stock car ride and drive entertainment, announced today that it plans to give thousands of young people the thrill of a lifetime, for FREE.

RPDE’s “Teens Ride FREE” program will give persons aged 14-19 the opportunity to receive a complimentary 3-lap high speed Ride-Along when accompanied by an adult who has purchased any RPDE ride or drive program for the same day.

Ride-Along’s are regularly priced from $99-$135.

New England teens can experience firsthand what it feels like to ride around “The Magic Mile,” at the four New Hampshire Motor Speedway “Teens Ride Free” events, beginning on June 24-26, July 29-31, Aug. 26-28 and Sept. 30 through Oct. 2. For more details regarding the New Hampshire events, stay tuned to www.nhms.com.

“We’re hoping to accomplish several things with this program,” said Mike Bartelli, Chief Marketing Officer of Petty Holdings and RPDE. “We need to engage more young people in what we do and we want to encourage more of our customers to think of a day with Richard Petty Driving Experience as a family event. More broadly, we’re committed to doing what we can to help cultivate the next generation of NASCAR fans. We know from plenty of experience, that one of the best ways to create a fan is to get someone inside of a race car.”

“Teens Ride FREE” will be available at approximately 20 tracks nationwide. Vouchers for the rides will be made available by RPDE track personnel, who will validate qualification. Reservations are not required for the Ride-Along’s.
