NASCAR: Time to Start Your Engines!

A visit to NASCAR’s Glory Road.

In downtown Charlotte, don’t miss the NASCAR Hall of Fame. It’s a stock-car fan’s mecca for all ages, with hands-on exhibits (join a pit crew!), historical displays (booze! cars! Feds!), and an amazing entry hall where 18 of the most storied cars sit on “Glory Road,” a ramp that banks just like the real thing, and covers more than 40 current and history race tracks.
