Activity Idea #6 - Touring of NASCAR Race Team Garages


Mooresville, North Carolina - Race City USA.


Due to its proximity to auto racing speedways at Wilmington, Charlotte, and Darlington, S.C., and the tremendous popularity of NASCAR, the community now calls itself Race City USA. Mooresville (just north of Ann's home in Huntersville) is home to more than 60 race teams representing some of the sport's biggest names.


Between races, cars from NASCAR's Nextel Cup, Busch Series, the Craftsman Truck Series, and ARCA head back to Mooresville for maintenance, improvements, and testing. Visitors are welcome at most of the race shops, where you can view the cars as they are repaired and primed for action.


Most race shops provide a View Window into the garage area. In addition a few offer showrooms, gift shops, and museums. For more information visit Auto Racing in Race City USA at http://www.racecityusa.org/racing.html.
