Charlotte Motor Speedway is one of the busiest tourist destinations in North Carolina and the Southeast with big events like the Bank of America ROVAL 400 shown here. The Speedway is home to many other events throughout the year. Visitors are finding a lot more to enjoy in the area, from breweries, restaurants and parks.

Editor's Note
This is the third in a series about the city of Concord and issues facing the city from the perspective of members of city council.
Concord is an exceptional city. Two of our state’s biggest tourism hubs are the Charlotte Motor Speedway and Concord Mills. Our strengths are seen not just in big projects like Eli Lilly or the new parks but in many small businesses opening throughout the City.
Tourists stream into the Speedway and Concord Mills Mall area for races, Monster Trucks (like the fans shown here), drag racing, shopping and a host of other activities. A lot of people are also moving into Concord to live.
