Did you know?

90% of NASCAR race shops are located in Concord, Kannapolis and the surrounding area! And many of these shops invite visitors at no charge to stop in for a behind-the-scenes look at how teams prepare for race day.

These aren’t your typical auto shops. Headquarters for the horsepower that’s displayed across the country throughout the sport’s 10-month season, these race shops are home to the impressive cars, crews, and drivers of NASCAR. While the experience is different at every stop, many feature viewing areas, museums, or team stores.

At Stewart-Haas Racing, witness teams working to build the fastest, most precise race cars imaginable. Learn the history behind some of stock car racing’s greatest moments at RFK Racing. And at Hendrick Motorsports, pick up the latest gear featuring the team’s four Cup Series drivers.
