Charlotte, NC: Auto Industry is big business in the Charlotte area and we have a lot to thank Detroit for! There are over 50 NASCAR teams based in Mooresville just north of Charlotte. The Charlotte Motor Speedway hosts to the The Coca Cola 600 and the Sprint All Star Race along with a host of other oval track, dirt track and drag races. Anyone who knows racing knows that the Charlotte Motor Speedway is the Cadillac of NASCAR tracks. AND, don't forget the other tracks a stone throw from Charlotte in Atlanta, Darlington, and Bristol.

These photos came from an email that has been circulating for a few years and I thought it would be good food for thought these days when everyone is so unsure of the future.

These are photos of actual billboards that appeared in Detroit. This country is creative, innovative and strong. We had it then and we have it now. Enjoy!

Eileen, our auto industry is more in manufacturing. Unfortunately our Speedway closed this year.
