Take a drive through Mooresville NC

Mooresville NC is one of Charlotte's most interesting suburbs. Known as Race City USA, the city is home to most of the shops of the major NASCAR Teams because of its proximity to Lowes Motor Speedway. About sixty teams call the city home. A tour of the shops is a great way to spend a day off and is close to Charlotte and its northern suburbs like Concord, Davidson, Lake Norman, Cornelius, and Huntersville. Large teams typically build several cars for each race year - some for short tracks, some for super speedways, some for road courses. Most of them will let you walk in and look around, some tours are guided and some aren't.

There is also a historical Motorsports Museum in Mooresvile, as is the North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame. Don't get this confused with the NASCAR Hall of Fame, to be built in uptown Charlotte.
