Calling all movie buffs! Charlotte Motor Speedway has announced an extension of its summer movie series, Speedway Drive-In Powered by Renu Energy, to include weekly movie nights through at least August.
New for 2020, the weekly series brings classics of the silver screen to one of the biggest HD televisions in the world, Charlotte Motor Speedway’s 16,000-square-foot Speedway TV. To encourage social distancing, the event features drive-in entertainment and hours of family fun.
“We received tremendous reviews from guests who joined us for our July movies and want to continue to do more to offer a unique entertainment option for families while following the recommendations of our state and local health partners,” said Greg Walter, Charlotte Motor Speedway’s executive vice president and general manager. “We’ve locked in a couple of classics for August, and one thing is for sure, you better get your popcorn ready because we’ve got some great fun in store.”
The upcoming schedule follows:
Wednesday, July 29: “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”
Wednesday, Aug. 5: “Grease,” presented by CookOut
Wednesday, Aug. 12: TBD, presented by Bojangles’
Wednesday, Aug. 19: “The Princess Bride,” presented by Food Lion

While restroom facilities will be available, attendees are otherwise asked to remain in their vehicles for the duration of the event to support the best social distancing practices.
