Does your speed demon already own a sweet ride? Consider surprising them with a day at the track. Minnesota facilities like the Brainerd International Speedway offer a variety of packages. And remember, keep your speed legal on the road.

For the technology geek

From lane departure warning systems to backup cameras and infotainment systems, cars are sporting more technology than ever before. Here are 5 other tech features we’re excited to see becoming more mainstream.
