If your dad’s speed is a little faster than a walk through a museum, consider a ride-along in a stock car, where he’ll ramp up to between 165 and 175 miles per hour. The cheapest rides all clock in at just over $100. The Richard Petty Driving Experience, which runs at 23 racetracks across the country, has a Father’s Day special offering ride-alongs for $59 each.
