Lowe's Motor Speedway, northeast of Charlotte, was built over 40 years ago and is the largest sports facility in the Southeast with permanent seating for 167,000, plus room for nearly 50,000 more spectators in the infield. It was the first superspeedway to host night racing in 1992, and was the first sports facility in America to offer year-round living accommodations when it put 40 condo units up for sale, high above Turn One in 1984.
