The race car simulator at this rip-roaring museum hurtles you onto the track and into an 8-car race that feels surprisingly real. Elsewhere, learn the history of this American-born sport (which traces back to moonshine running), check out six generations of race cars and test your pit crew skills. NASCAR, if you're wondering, is short for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.
One quibble? Exhibits are geared toward visitors who have some knowledge of cars and racing, so casual fans be warned!
