Lowe's Motor Speedway

Built in 1960, the famous 1.5 mile superspeedway is home to NASCAR Nextel Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck Series racing. NASCAR events highlight the schedule in May and October, but the 167,000-seat facility also hosts numerous other activities, including three of the nation's largest car shows; a 10-week series of Legends Car, Bandolero and Thunder Roadster racing; and stock car driving schols. Daily tours are available (except during events) and a gift shop is loaded with souvenir and memorabilia.
