NASCAR Hall of Fame, Racing museum in Charlotte, United States.
The NASCAR Hall of Fame is a museum in Charlotte, United States, dedicated to stock car racing history and displaying race cars, trophies, and multimedia exhibits. The facility spans multiple floors with areas for permanent and rotating presentations covering vehicles from different decades and technical developments.
The facility opened in May 2010 after Charlotte won the selection process against Atlanta, Daytona, and Richmond. The city had campaigned for years to secure the location and succeeded in becoming the home for this central project of American motorsports.
The Hall displays a moonshine still built by Junior Johnson, showing the early link between racing and bootlegging traditions. Visitors see how drivers who once smuggled illegal alcohol developed the driving skills that shaped the sport.
The building offers racing simulators where visitors can experience race situations themselves, along with exhibits showing applications from physics and engineering. Visitors should plan time for interactive areas where they can learn about vehicle components and racing strategies.
The Glory Road exhibition presents historical race cars on a banked ramp that recreates different track curve angles. Visitors walk along this incline and see vehicles from different eras in their natural driving position on the slope.
