Where To
Experience
Motorsports
NASCAR SpeedPark
If you're
itching for a taste of what it really
feels like to be a NASCAR driver, take
the family to the NASCAR SpeedPark, a
seven-acre, raced-themed amusement park
that bridges the gap between family fun
and the professional NASCAR racing
circuit. The park's five action-packed
racetracks range from a starter track
for kids to a full oval track. Teens
will love the Mini-Motor Speedway, a
quarter-mile oval featuring 5/8-scale
NEXTEL Cup-style cars. For younger
racers, a polished, slippery track
called SideWayz sends drivers on a
twisting and turning course while The
Champions, a two-story, figure-eight
indoor track, keeps drivers safe from
the elements. Friends and family can
even ride together on the 1,200-foot
Family 500, which has double-seater
cars. And the young ones will love
driving their own cars on The Qualifier,
NASCAR SpeedPark's 200-foot starter
track. In addition to the racetracks,
NASCAR SpeedPark has a climbing wall
with four separate climbing experiences,
NASCAR reactor simulators, a miniature
golf course, a racing-themed indoor
playground, a laser tag arena, an
exciting Frog Hopper ride for the young
ones, electric-powered speed bumper
boats with water shooters, an 18-hole
miniature golf course, and the SpeedDome
Arcade with over 50 games. Sparkie the
Sparkplug, the official mascot of the
SpeedPark, is always around to meet and
greet kids.
There is
no charge for parking, and no gate fee
entry charges; visitors pay only if they
play. The NASCAR SpeedPark at Concord
Mills is located approximately 10 miles
north of Center City Charlotte off
I-85 at Exit 49, Concord Mills Boulevard
at the mall's Entry 7. For more
