NC Piedmont

The Piedmont

Whether you're looking for the thrill of a NASCAR race or the pleasure of a great glass of wine, you'll be able to find what you're looking for in the Piedmont. Furniture shopping, professional sports and outdoor adventure can all be found in the heart of the state.

Mooresville is one of the cities that energizes the Piedmont with its variety and vibrance. Whether you’re racing around the nation’s largest indoor kart track, feeding animals from your car during a drive-through safari or strolling along Lake Norman’s more than 500 miles of shoreline, Mooresville, North Carolina offers everything you need to rev up, recharge and relax.

Mooresville, also known as “Race City USA,” offers many opportunities to become immersed in the rich history of NASCAR. Visit the North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame, NC Auto Racing Walk of Fame or an auto museum that features the largest private collection of retired NASCAR and vintage race cars. If you’re looking for something more modern, tour the many race shops, some of which offer viewing rooms where you can watch crew members prepare cars for upcoming races.

After you’ve revved up, enjoy a relaxing round of golf or luxuriate in a massage at a day spa. Tour North Carolina’s second largest brewery or enjoy one of Mooresville’s many coffee shops and wine bars.
