The NASCAR Speed Park is a bigger, better version of the standard local go-kart races. If you like those, you're going to love this. It's got everything ranging from smaller, slower karts designed for younger children to a 5/8th's scale race car that you have to have a driver's license to race on the Thunder Road track. The diversity makes it great for families, as you can ride for awhile with your kids on the family tracks and then go a few laps on the adult one for the really fun stuff. They also have a lot of real NASCAR drivers stop by periodically (though usually only for a few hours), and you can see the schedule on their website here. They've also got a few other attractions for if there's anyone going with you who doesn't like racing - an arcade, a climbing wall, and some kiddie rides.
It's open for most of the year, usually from 10am to 8pm, but the NASCAR Speed Park stays open until 11pm in the summer months. For people under 13 and over 55, it costs $16 for entry. For everyone else, it's $25. One tip is that if you can, you should go in the fall - they sometimes lower prices and there are a lot fewer people there because the vacation periods are over. You also generally get to ride a lot more often because it's less crowded. The address is:
