About NASCAR Hall of Fame
Glory Road, a ramp banked up to 33 degrees like Talladega, displays 18 race cars inside this 150,000-square-foot museum in Charlotte. The Hall of Honor salutes the inductees, Heritage Speedway covers seven decades of NASCAR history, and racing simulators put you behind the wheel. The High Octane Theater shows films on a 64-foot-wide curved screen. The building, designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, is wrapped in a stainless steel ribbon shaped like a Mobius strip.
