Charlotte may get Hall of Fame
Atlanta and Daytona Beach still feel good about their chances to land NASCAR’s Hall of Fame, even though a report from Charlotte said that city has already locked up a deal to build the shrine to stock-car racing.
This is where I thought the NASCAR Hall of Fame belonged from the beginning. The majority of the racing teams have their head quarters near the Charlotte Motor Speedway and it only makes sense to put the museum near them.

Actually, the Hall of Fame belonged in the REAL home of NASCAR, North Wilkesboro, NC.

North Wilkesboro is a hick town in the middle of nowhere. Charlotte is just down the road and a much nicer town.

you’re right, CLT has much “nicer” traffic, crime, neighborhood congestion, not to mention I-77 / Harris Blvd at 0800

I lived in the Harris Blvd / I-85 area for three months. Loved it there. I stayed mostly in North Charlotte and the Uptown. I guess I never saw the “slums.”
