More on Lowe's Motor Speedway
Description from Wikipedia:
Lowe's Motor Speedway (formerly Charlotte Motor Speedway) is a speedway in Concord, North Carolina, north of Charlotte. It features a 1.5 mi long quad-oval track that seats 167,000 people, with room for 50,000 more spectators in the infield. Constructed in 1959, it was the first speedway to host nighttime superspeedway racing (in 1992) in the "modern era," the first being the now defunct Raleigh, N.C. Speedway in 1958, and to offer year-round residences (in 1984) with 52 condominiums available over turn one. It is owned by Speedway Motorsports, which has its corporate headquarters on the same property. The speedway is considered the home base of NASCAR, with 90% of NASCAR teams being based within 50 mi. In February 1999, Lowe's bought the naming rights to the speedway, making it the first race track in the country with a corporate sponsor.
Along with the main oval, the speedway also has a 2.25 mi road course in the infield, a 0.6 mi kart course in the infield, a quarter-mile oval using part of the front stretch and pit road, and an 0.2 mi oval outside turn three. Also, across U.S. Highway 29 from the speedway, is a 0.4 mi dirt track that opened in May 2000. The 0.25 mi oval located between the frontstretch and pit road was constructed in 1991 for a legends race which was part of the Winston weekend. It was designed after Bowman-Gray Stadium.
