From energy to speed, learn racing concepts through STEAM activities! Enjoy our entertaining, educational STEAM program with one of our world-class events as a backdrop! 

Rock & Roll & Racing

Rock and roll through racing with the STEAM Team! Student groups will rotate through three interactive stations learning STEAM concepts in sound energy, safety, and racing bots. Groups will take a guided tour through the Showcase Pavilion featuring cars from then and now.

This special STEAM event will occur in conjunction with the Auto Fair at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Each spring hundreds of cars descend upon the infield turning the race track into an inviting spectacle for car enthusiasts of all ages.

We are also proud to partner with NC Science Festival celebrating science during the month of April. The STEAM Team is excited to offer fun and educational activities supporting this mission. For more information on NC SCIFEST you can click HERE.

Student admission is $5 each. Teachers, chaperones, and parking is free. Groups may bring lunch or pre-purchase a box lunch. The box lunch includes a hotdog, chips, and a drink for $10 each and must be pre-ordered. There will be food trucks onsite and will accept cards only. This event will run rain or shine. Wearing comfortable shoes and sunscreen is highly recommended because there is extensive walking and limited shade.
