Back in 1959, Big Bad Bruton Smith started building the mega complex that would become Charlotte Motor Speedway (it was Lowe's Motor Speedway due to a naming rights deal for about ten years). Over time, it has grown seating to more than 100,000 people in the stands and another 50,000 or so in the infield. There are 52 condos where you can actually live at the track year-round (assuming you can afford to buy one from one of the existing owners). There are a huge number of parking lots all across the countryside around the speedway.
The track itself is 1.5 miles, but includes a 2.25 mile road course that runs through the infield, a 0.6 mile kart course in the infield, a 0.25 oval that uses part of the front stretch and a 0.2 mile over outside turn 3. In addition to the lots, the compound includes a 0.4 mile dirt track across Highway 29 and a four lane dragstrip. This is a monument to racing, if you care for that sort of thing. Just don't forget your wallet and plenty of padding to make sure your backside is comfortable.
