The Buck Baker Racing School was founded by NASCAR Hall Of Fame driver, 2 time Cup Series champion Buck Baker in 1980. Buck Baker Racing School was the first of its kind. Today, Buck Baker's Seat Time Racing School, still follows the curriculum set by Buck Baker to teach racers, race fans, and adrenaline junkies professional racing skills. There is no lead-follow format and passing is allowed on the straight away. At the least, participants learn how to run the preferred racing line around the track, how to merge onto a race track, and how to exit and enter pit road. The Advanced racing course involves running the low, high, and preferred lines side by side with an instructor's car and nose to tail.
The school uses actual NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity, and Craftsman Truck Series vehicles, made by Chevrolet and Dodge, which have previously competed in their respective series. Each car weighs approximately Шаблон:Convert and includes 358 cubic-inch engines with close to 500 horsepower. Paired with the 3.18 and 3.25 ratio rear ends and 6000rpm rev limiters this gives a top speed of around 160 mph at Atlanta and Charlotte. At Rockingham the cars top out around 140 mph, and at Bristol 115 mph.
