Wow one of the coolest places I've been to. Pretty...

Wow one of the coolest places I've been to. Pretty much the whole building is dedicated to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. I'm not much of a NASCAR fan but after coming here, my interest in it has grown.

Tickets were $25 per person and after you go in, they prompt you to watch a 12 minute video on the history of NASCAR inside one of their theaters. Afterwards, you go venture to off on your own to the many different floors.

The first floor is structured like a race car track with a huge tv monitor playing a NASCAR documentary. There were car models displayed all around and information about those cars and drivers.

The floors above contain all the information on what goes into racing and more car models. A lot of the displays were interactive and there were a good amount of games you can play. One of them was a simulated racing course where you drive a car and race against others.

Everything about this place just felt so new, modern, clean and I think it's such a nice reflection on NASCAR and the future direction it's heading.

All of the workers were very nice and always guided me through out the exhibit. I asked them questions and they happily answered all of them for me. I only wished they were open for longer. They kicked everyone out around 6; i got in around 4:30 so I didn't get the full experience of this Hall of Fame. I could have Easily stayed for 3 more hours. But I was rushing through all the floors because they were kicking people out.

There so much information and history in this place it's amazing. If there's one thing you should do if your visiting Charlotte, it's to come check this place out. You won't regret it.
