We are pretty lucky where we live; only twenty miles from Charlotte, only twenty minutes from Hickory and Mooresville, and only forty minutes from Concord Mills in Concord, NC and the home of a NASCAR Speedpark. There are only four other NASCAR Speedparks around; one in Myrtle Beach, Pigeon Forge, and St. Louis, and the other is in Canada. I don't know which location was first but I do know that Pigeon Forge had theirs before we had ours. I guess being located in the heart of NASCAR, probably didn't hurt either.
Everyone has their "favorite places" and NASCAR Speedpark just happens to be our son's "favorite place". He never gets enough of it. I guess when I was twelve and if this place was around back then I would have loved it too.
This place has a lot to offer.
- Like five different types of race tracks one of which is in doors.
- Like three race car simulators that offers all the NASCAR race tracks on the racing circuit.
- Like an inviting pool full of bumper speed boats.
- Like a nice mini-golf course.
- Like laser tag.
- Like wall climbing.
- Like a huge arcade and shopping area.
What more would a child want?!?!?!?!
We visited NASCAR Speedpark this week and I took a lot of pictures to share with you.

I have never been there! That might be worth a day trip down to let my son go crazy and meet a fellow agent for lunch (hint-hint)!
Teresa, I used to do pit crew stuff for an old boyfriend - a government economist by day and a showroom stock racer by weekend! I got to see most of the east coast tracks but missed North Carolina.
Hey Leesa that would be great! Let me know when...
Hey Patricia, This is too funny! How did you miss North Carolina??
Teresa,
Now that sounds like a park. No sandboxes and swings - real action stuff. Thanks for letting us know.
Steve
Hey Steve, Thanks for coming by! Yep, all high speed action, which makes this a favorite. Take care!
