Be Immersed in Motorsports

Motorsports is a year-round experience here. You can tour and attend events at Charlotte Motor Speedway, zMAX Dragway and The Dirt Track. Step inside top NASCAR Race Shops, including Hendrick Motorsports and RFK Racing, to observe crews at work. Take in rare exhibits at motorsports museums and even get behind the wheel.

Start Your Engines!

The heart of Cabarrus County’s motorsports scene is Charlotte Motor Speedway, and the two major NASCAR races at this legendary speedway should be on every fan’s bucket list.

In the spring, visitors from around the globe and locals alike come to Concord to experience Memorial Day weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Events fill the entire weekend and culminate with the season’s longest race, the Coca-Cola 600. Come early to enjoy the Speed Street concerts and festivities and extend your stay to add even more racing attractions to your itinerary.

In the fall, make plans to return for the Bank of America ROVAL 400. It’s a hybrid course — part-traditional oval, part-infield road course and it’s unlike any other race of the schedule.
