If you care to have a hands-on racing experience; here are a couple at WDW and a drag racing museum in Ocala.

2. Exotic Driving Experience - Exotic Driving Experience is the newest offering from Petty Holdings, named for the winningest driver in NASCAR history and best known as owner and operator of Richard Petty Driving Experience.

I have not been to any of the NASCAR sites in FL or have participated in a racing/driving experience at WDW.
My sister and I did a driving experience (12 laps - if I remember correctly) at Phoenix International Raceway. It was a blast!
