you must have a lightening fast pit crew!

Give each team a car tire. Mark Start and Finish lines for each team
and place a few cones in each teams path. 
The children will need to roll the tire from start to finish around the cones, back to their team and pass the tire to the next player.
The next player takes his/her turn and so on until all players have
had a turn. Fastest team wins!

Pit Row Obstacle Course - If you have the space...
Use old tires, cones, chairs and boxes.
Prepare the obstacle course buy creating challenges.
The children are cars. They must get through the challenge course.
Around Tires, under tunnels (cut boxes), through cones...

receiving a candy or small treat every time.

to the next while watching your flags -

You'll Need:
One 3x5 card for each child, Pictures of cars or Car Parts (Tires, seats, steering wheel etc.). Attach one picture to each card. Prepare these cards before the party. Have the children form a circle. Tape a card to each of their backs. When you say go…players look at each others 
cards and give clues until every player has guessed what's 
on their card. Example:
You are black. You are Round. You Roll.
"Am I a Tire?"...Yeah, you guessed! 
Add a challenge for older children by using  NASCAR Drivers, more advanced auto parts and well know races.

NASCAR fans entertained.

at most stores these days for under $10.00
Set the mat out with a basket of cars.

Make your own Goodie Bags - provide empty favor boxes or colored bags and card stickers for the children to decorate their own bags. You can
then add the favors afterwards.

You'll need old matchbox cars
Black paper
White and yellow paint (or any light color)

Pour paint in meat trays, or cookie sheets. Place a few cars in each paint tray. Children "drive" the cars through the paint and then drive them onto the paper. Use a white crayon to label each picture. Very little paint is actually used so that these dry quickly.
