Day 1
See how the pros "shake and bake" and top out at speeds of up to 180 miles per hour when you start your day at the track with the Richard Petty Driving Experience or Jeff Gordon Racing School.
Break for lunch at the Speedway Club, which overlooks Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Home to the NASCAR NEXTEL All-Star Challenge, the Coca-Cola 600 and the Bank of America 500, this 1.5 mile superspeedway is a favorite for drivers like Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson.
Fans ready to immerse themselves in the total speedway experience should embark on the Over The Wall Tour, a three-hour up-close look at Lowe’s Motor Speedway including areas that are off limits on race days like the NEXTEL Cup garage, pit road, and Victory Circle.
Put the pedal to the metal at NASCAR Speedpark where the race never ends on five exciting tracks with NASCAR-inspired go-karts.
Day 2
Over 80% of all NEXTEL teams and over 70% of Busch teams are located in the Charlotte region, so see how these racing legends prepare at race shops such as Raceworld USA or Dale Earnhardt Inc. Group tours, souvenir shops, or viewing rooms where you can catch the crew in action.
At PIT Instruction & Training, groups can train for the fastest 13 seconds in sports with skilled crew members during role-playing and equipment demonstrations. Stay to peruse memorabilia and a gallery of racecars.
NASCAR fans won’t want to miss the treasures of the renowned motorsports artist at Sam Bass Gallery. Learn how this master comes up with designs for race car paint schemes, uniforms, and logos for top race teams.
You might spy Dale Earnhardt, Jr. himself when you stop in for dinner at Big Daddy’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar. With racecars proudly displayed on the exterior, this popular and group-friendly Mooresville favorite has had NASCAR steeped in its roots since 1974.
