If you love NASCAR and shopping, you're going to love Concord, North Carolina. With a modern, urban feel, Concord is the second largest city in Charlotte's metropolitan area and winner of the Fastest Growing Economy award and the All-American City award. Concord is characterized by its rolling hills and lush, green forests and has a relatively mild winter and a warm, humid summer.
Charlotte Motor Speedway boasts a national training and research headquarters for motorsports racing and is the home of many major races. The track's zMAX Dragway and the nearby Windshear Wind Tunnel, a cutting-edge aerodynamics testing facility, make this city a racing enthusiast's dream destination.
Concord Mills, located 10 miles south of the city center, features 1.4 million square feet of delightful outlet shops and big box stores and is a real shopping adventure as well as the area's largest tourist destination. Anchor stores at the mall include Bass Pro Shops, Old Navy and the Disney Store. The Boulevard in front of the mall is lined with restaurants and hotels.
Whether you're looking for a five-star hotel for a pampered stay near the speedway or economy accommodations within walking distance of the mall, Concord has a variety of lodging to suit your needs.
Centrally located within 10 miles of the city is Concord Regional Airport, while Charlotte Douglas International Airport is 40 miles away. Pick up a rental car from either airport and take Interstate 85 into the city.
