Charlotte loves NASCAR® and NASCAR® loves Charlotte. There's a bunch of racing for the cup going on right in our backyard.
On a cool October day, things are heating up for Charlotte NASCAR® fans. The Banking 500 is on for tonight and it should prove to be one heck of a race.
There is a twist in the name of the race from last year’s Bank of America 500. It’s called The Banking 500 (with Bank of America’s logo) I guess BOA is playing this a little low key, (But their logo is there?) Oh well…They paid for it.
All the drivers are ready, as Charlotte is always a favorite location. The vast majority of race teams call the area home.
The new NASCAR® Hall of Fame is also here. So for most of them this is a back yard race.
It is very thrilling to feel and hear the rush of race cars traveling close to 200mph a stone throw away. I have been behind the wheel (at the Petty Race experience) on the speedway track. I was white knuckling it near 150mph and we were the only car on the track.
Our old governor (Easley) even took a shot at this and wrecked a car. So considering these guys go three wide at break neck speeds, it is thrilling to watch.
This may not appeal to all and I guess it’s not supposed to. But If you never have experienced a race in person and are curious .... I Highly Reccommend it !
This is just one of the varied sports venues Charlotte has to offer. Next week, the Carolina Panthers are back in town. And the BOBCATS are playing preseason hoops getting ready for the start of the season. Fall is a great season for area spectator sports.
