📷 Top Attractions

No.1 Charlotte
NASCAR Hall of Fame
The NASCAR Hall of Fame in uptown Charlotte honors the legends of American stock-car racing — drivers, crew chiefs and owners enshrined in the Hall of Honor. Glory Road tilts actual race cars up a banked ramp, the High Octane Theater wraps you in speed, and simulators let you take the wheel. Charlotte, the sport's spiritual capital, makes a fitting home. More than a museum, it is the cathedral of a distinctly Southern motorsport culture that grew from dirt tracks to a national obsession.
