NASCAR Hall of Fame

The NASCAR Hall of Fame honors drivers who have shown expert skill at NASCAR driving, all-time great crew chiefs and owners, broadcasters and other major contributors to competition within the sanctioning body. The Hall of Fame is in Uptown Charlotte, about 25 minutes south of Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Because of stock car racing's roots in and wealth of famous drivers from North Carolina, Charlotte was considered the favorite location for the Hall of Fame by many fans and commentators. Over 73% of NASCAR Motorsports employees in the United States are located in what is called "NASCAR Valley."

The building contains the following:
  • High Octane Theater 
  • Ceremonial Plaza
