He’ll get to ride shot gun in a Nextel stock car on a NASCAR track. I want to wrap up something for him to open up at Christmas. I am trying to think of something creative. However, I don’t want to do something that will make him think it is something MORE than a ride in a stock car (ie. driving a stock car or a trip to Talladega, etc.). Any help is appreciated!!!!

    Get a picture of that stock car and put it in a box. Then, write a note on what he’ll be able to do and put it below the picture.

    What a great gift! Maybe buy a die cast and make a tag for it that mimics those Master Card ads like die cast $10.00 and end with “Riding shot gun on a NASCAR track…. priceless”

    Give him a helmet and explain what it’s for.

    I think those are called Nascar Ride-A-longs. Why not get him a little diecast and tape a card to the passenger side that says, “This is you” or something? Maybe include The words “Ride-A-Long” so that he knows its not a “drive”.

    I did this last year for my husband. I put the track ticket in his Dale Earnheart Jr coffee cup I bought him as a gift! It was a huge success.

    I like Eric C’s idea. Give him something like driving gloves or a helmet, you can buy them at Wall-Mart (if I was driving 200 mph, I wouldn’t wanna be wearing a helmet from Wall-Mart…but whatever). He’ll probably be confused at first, but before he can get any extravagant ideas in his head tell him, “You’ll need that for your NASCAR ride-along.” Or something like that.

    Tell him though before he asks anything, because then he might start to think that he’ll be driving or something.

    Great gift though!

    Put the ticket in a box with a diecast car of the latest “Special” paint scheme of his favorite driver’s.

    See if you can find a driver figure (Wal-mart has some) and have it holding the certificate with a tag saying ride-a-long,or something like that.

    Buy a small stock car and include a message with it about his ride. That’s a pretty awesome gift!

    if you have a nascar cafe near by you could take him out to dinner and have the waiter bring it to him.

    All good ideas. I especially like the helmet. How about goggles (like Earnhardt wore when he wore an open face helmet). Or maybe a section of seat belt (you can get extender things at an auto parts store or a seat belt at a junk yard)? How about a smal replica hood of his favorite driver and tape the envelope on the back? Look for used car parts on ebay. If you could find a driving suit cheap, that would be cool, too.

    Maybe some Dramamine?

    Buy a Fruit Cake and tape a message to the Cake.

    Give him some of his favorite drivers merchandise like a hat and like a tshirt or something he could wear underneath the firesuit or something like that since he could get good use out of it or then again you could give him a minature stock car or his favorite driver something creative and cute but not to over the top.

    You could divorce him and marry me. I would not care how you gave it to me. LOL Anyway, find his favorite driver and buy one of those models and put the ticket inside. Tell hubby to have fun.
