Charlotte Motor Speedway

Welcome to Charlotte Motor Speedway, the legendary track known as "America's Home for Racing." Located in Concord, North Carolina, this iconic venue has been a cornerstone of motorsports since it first opened in 1960. It was the ambitious vision of two NASCAR Hall of Fame inductees, O. Bruton Smith and Curtis Turner, who aimed to build a superspeedway rivaling the Indy 500.

Charlotte Motor Speedway has a history of innovation and "firsts." It was the first modern superspeedway to host night racing, thanks to a revolutionary lighting system installed in 1992 that simulates daylight. The track also features the unique "ROVAL," a combination road course and oval that's part of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. Beyond the main oval, the complex is a motorsports mecca, with The Dirt Track at Charlotte and zMAX Dragway, the world's first four-lane drag strip.

The speedway is most famous for its crown jewel event, the Coca-Cola 600, NASCAR's longest race. It's also home to other major events like the Bank of America ROVAL 400 and the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals, ensuring year-round excitement for every kind of racing fan.
