About Charlotte Motor Speedway

For more than 60 years, Charlotte Motor Speedway has set the standard for motorsports entertainment and evolved into "America's Home for Racing." Nestled in the heart of NASCAR country, the iconic superspeedway is the only race vacation destination where fans can immerse themselves in the sport by taking in an event at the legendary facility, visit race team shops and explore the NASCAR Hall of Fame in the same weekend. Generating a regional economic impact of approximately $450 million annually, the speedway hosts two premier NASCAR events each year - the Coca-Cola 600 and the Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 - as well as more than three dozen other events for automotive and motorsports enthusiasts of all ages. Charlotte Motor Speedway's philosophy is to put "Fans First" and create memories that last a lifetime for all who pass through the gates.

• The Charlotte Motor Speedway complex encompasses nearly 2,000 acres and includes a 2.25-mile road course, a six-tenths-mile karting layout and a quarter-mile oval within the walls of the 1.5-mile superspeedway. A one-fifth-mile oval is located just outside Turn 3. In 2018, Charlotte Motor Speedway changed the course of NASCAR history with the innovative ROVAL™, a 2.28-mile, 17-turn course that combined the high-banks of the traditional oval with a newly designed infield road course.
• The NASCAR Cup Series, the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series each compete once per year on the 1.5-mile superspeedway. Other events on the various tracks include a summer-long short-track series for Legend Cars and Bandoleros; national and regional car club competitions; and World Karting Association regional, national and international races. Charlotte Motor Speedway also annually presents two AutoFairs, each April and October.
• In May 2000, a state-of-the-art four-tenths-mile clay oval—The Dirt Track at Charlotte—was completed across Highway 29 from the speedway. The stadium-style facility has 14,000 seats and annually hosts the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and the World of Outlaws Late Model Series along with a championship Monster Truck spectacular.
• In August 2008, zMAX Dragway was completed on 46.5 acres of land adjacent to The Dirt Track. The Bellagio of drag strips boasts 30,000 grandstand seats and 40 luxury suites. It's also a track of "firsts," as in the first drag strip in the world to feature two pedestrian tunnels underneath the strip to increase fan mobility, and its most prominent feature, the world's first four-lane racing surface.
