Drivers added to Wild Adventures NASCAR event

VALDOSTA – Two NASCAR legends will make special appearances during Coca-Cola Racing Weekend, Aug. 25, 26, at Wild Adventures Theme Park.

“Coca-Cola Racing Weekend is a new event to Wild Adventures, and we are thrilled to kick it off this year with two of NASCAR’s most well-known and accomplished drivers,” said Patrick Pearson, marketing director.

Bobby Allison, NASCAR legend and three-time Daytona 500 winner, will appear at the park’s Lonestar Stage, 3-5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25, to sign autographs and take photos with fans, according to Wild Adventures representatives.

Matt Kenseth, two-time NASCAR champion and current driver of the Number 6 Ford Fusion for Roush Fenway Racing, will appear at the Lonestar Stage, 1-3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 26.

The Coca-Cola Racing Weekend will feature the “Coca-Cola Ultimate Racing Experience,” a state-of-the-art racing simulator. Guests will have the chance to get behind the wheel and test their skills by racing on laser-scanned versions of tracks from around the country, according to park representatives.

Fans of NASCAR and NHRA drag racing will have the chance to have their picture taken with the Mello Yello show car and compete against their friends in the Mello Yello Reaction Time Challenge, according to park representatives.
