If you’ve ever had the urge to race at Bristol Motor Speedway but never had the chance to do it...you have it now. You also have the chance to do so with 15-time NASCAR Most Popular Driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. behind the wheel. All it takes is $8.88 and the courage to strap into a Chevrolet Camaro stock car.

The annual Ride With Dale Jr. Raffle kicks off today and runs through June 30 (or when all 18,888 tickets are sold), and waiting at the end of it is the opportunity to take three laps at speed around the .533-mile, high-banked track at Bristol Motor Speedway. The drawing for eight lucky winners will take place July 15, and the event itself is scheduled for Sept. 16.

The prize package for the raffle, which will benefit The Dale Jr. Foundation, is as follows: a three-lap Ride-Along with Dale Jr. at “Thunder Valley;” a private tour for winners and a guest of the JR Motorsports headquarters on Sept. 17 which includes a catered lunch hosted by Kelley Earnhardt Miller, the vice-president and general manager of JRM as well as the vice-president of The Dale Jr. Foundation.

Other prizes include a pair of tickets to the NASCAR Xfinity Series event at BMS on Sept. 18; VIP treatment from the JR Motorsports staff with Pit & Garage walk-through tour prior to the Xfinity Series race; a video of the experience provided by Dirty Mo Media; and two swag bags filled with goodies including SPY sunglasses and other awesome items.

The package also features a private Q&A for two with Earnhardt Jr. as well as a meet-and-greet that includes opportunities for autographs and photos.

Also provided is a four-night stay at the Hampton Inn in Huntersville, N.C., not far from the JRM campus, a shuttle to and from Bristol Motor Speedway on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18 and two tickets to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C.

The tickets, priced at $8.88 each, will undoubtedly be a hot commodity, so act fast!
