Concord is “where racing lives.” Year-round, there’s always something happening at the world-famous Charlotte Motor Speedway. Within the racing complex is a state-of-the-art zMAX Dragway, for straight-track fans. The Dirt Track just across the highway is a spectacular stadium for sprint car, monster truck and other events. NASCAR has a research center here, too, and several champion auto-racing teams make their homes in Concord. Race fans also love to visit Sam Bass Art Studio to gaze upon the artist’s dazzling array of motorsports art.
After a day at the track, keep the excitement going with a few laps around Concord Mills for some retail therapy. Or, cruise over to Frank Liske Park to play a round of disc golf and take a paddleboat around the lake. Plan to taste-test the area’s outstanding barbeque during your visit. And, since you’ve booked your hotel in Concord, be sure to stroll through its historic downtown. Along with impressive 19th- and 20th- century architecture from its time as a textile-mill town, Concord’s best restaurants and live entertainment venues are easy to find along Union Street.
