Race Shops
If the experience were any closer, you’d have grease on your hands.
Did you know?
90% of NASCAR race shops are located in Concord, Kannapolis, and the surrounding area, and many invite visitors to stop in for a behind-the-scenes look at how teams prepare for race day.
These aren’t your typical auto shops. Headquarters for the horsepower that’s displayed across the country throughout the sport’s 10-month season, these race shops are home to the impressive cars, crews, and drivers of NASCAR. See crews at work, learn the history behind some of stock car racing’s greatest moments, or pick up the latest gear featuring your favorite driver. While the experience is different at every stop, many feature viewing areas, museums, or team stores.
Design your own race shop tour and see just how many moving parts come together to get these teams to Winner’s Circle.
Pro Tips
- Stop by the Visitor Center in Concord before beginning your race shop adventure. Our team keeps an up-to-date list of current race shop hours and information including a full list inside the Official Cabarrus County, NC Destination Guide.
- Visiting during Charlotte Motor Speedway race weekend? Check out the social media channels for your favorite team to learn about special Fan Day events which often include autograph sessions, pit stop demonstrations, and exclusive tours.
