Charlotte Motor Speedway
Concord, NC
First opening in 1960, Charlotte Motor Speedway is the flagship property of Speedway Motorsports Inc. A “home game” for most NASCAR teams, Charlotte Motor Speedway sits in the heart of NASCAR country, with most of the NASCAR race teams headquartered in an around the Charlotte area. Charlotte Motor Speedway is 1.5 miles long and features 24 degrees of banking into the corners.
The most notable and prestigious event hosted by the track is the Memorial Day Weekend Coca Cola 600. At 600 miles, it is the longest race on the NASCAR schedule, testing both the limits of the driver and the car. The race is also unique in that it starts in the afternoon and finishes at night, forcing drivers and crews to adjust the car to accommodate the changing track conditions.
Charlotte Motor Speedway also has a 17 turn, 2.28 mile road course, referred to as the “roval”. This layout was first used in NASCAR in 2018, with the addition of a chicane on the front and back straightaways. The drivers head down the front stretch but turn hard left before turn 1 on the oval, and head into the infield road course. This track is challenging for drivers due to the long, sweeping corners, elevation changes, and heavy braking areas.
