NASCAR, Racing & Motorsports in North Carolina

North Carolina – the Heart of Motorsports

Racing’s roots run deep in North Carolina. The sport started here when bootleggers souped-up their cars to outrun the law – and then began racing each other. Those days are gone, but the legacy remains at the Coca-Cola 600, NASCAR Hall of Fame, racing schools, team shops and motorsports museums.
