Charlotte Motor Speedway Reviews

The Roval was great! Speed and tight turns made a very exciting time for a family outing at Charotte Motor Speedway!

Went to day one of the Good Guys car show and had a great time looking at and photographing many of the great vehicles on display. Wish I had been able to stay for the full show (both days). Good Guys always put on a great event no matter the location. This was my 4th trip to this car show.

Good tight racing, multiple lanes. This is a "home" race for most of the teams, so they all seem to try a little harder for their fans and families. My only complaint is the prices on the consessions, I about passed out when they charged me $7.00 for a can of Miller Lite OMG! considering it was a "Cup" race you'd think you could get a Monster Energy drink, but NOBODY had any at any price. Last gaming convention I went to, they were passing out all the NOS you could drink for FREE! Take a hint CMS, NASCAR & MONSTER! ! !

Huge Motor Speedway. Bigger than ours in Homestead, FL

Fantastic place to watch a race.In person is so much better than watching on TV.

Christmas time at Sppedway. We had a great time. If you go to the Christmas Village prepare to spend ....

Amazing track and employees of SMI are top notch. Keep up the great work Craig M.

I attended the 2017 Monster All-star Race which was an experience to be had. The speeds at which the drivers race are incomprehensible through a television. The challenge of parking at an event this size is to be expected. To ease the hike from car to speedway, they've conveniently placed shopping huts along the path. While these huts are placed to provide the things commonly forgotten (seat cushions, sun hats, ear plugs, ect.), they are not placed for comfort while shopping. Being that the huts are located so closely to the driveway there is inadequate spacing for shoppers vs. parkers. The downfall of this was the traffic directors inability to manage the crowd. I witnessed attendees be verbally assaulted and threatened in result of "walking in the road." A simple solution would be to allot more space between the booths and the driveway itself. Limited space is to be expected in events of this size, but why solicit sales where spacing is inadequate.

Awsoem experience, you just can feel the power and the smell of gas!. Thought some lots improvements can be done to the stadium, from food to the setup. I would also add a bigger LCD display. But the experience it's worth it

Went here for the Christmas lights. I have been dragged out to so many of these things I could die. I can honestly say they did a hell of a good job here. I was actually pleased and glad I went. Even got to watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation! Spent $25 to get in on a donation night and spent 3 hours here. Not a bad

Bojangles summer shootout is an awsome family time.

Visited for the Christmas lights! There's a little pop up tent in the middle where you can roast marshmallows, ride the ferris wheel, grab some fair type food, and shop some local small vendors.

Great racing!! Fun track tour!! Awesome race week activities!!!

It's sad to see the emptiness in the remaining seating area at this racetrack. I remember the days when you couldn't find an empty seat ANYWHERE.

Was there for the swap meet car show. The one fault I had was so many people riding the buggies with no respect for others. Most people didn't appear to need them.

I ordered tickets from the phone line they have. Customer service has been HORRIBLE. I don t even wanna give it one star that it s not worthy of! These people just want your money and do not care! I spent 400 on tickets for a weekend race! Coming from out of town. I realized the tickets were non refundable after I purchased them so I called to ask about that. .... but the weather may affect the race and they may need to reschedule it. In which we would have traveled from Pittsburgh to go! Can t predict the weather totally understand.... but we are from out of town spending a lot to get there and stay there. Do not go here and spend good money on tickets if you can t be flexible on when you can go! Not worth it. If the race is canceled we will lose 400 bucks and they will not even offer a credit for a future race! The CSR are mean and once they get your money they don t care! Sad!! I honestly have such a bad taste in my mouth I don t even wanna go to the race. Would be 100 percent satisfied if they told me about the policy before I purchased. They did not. I called to ask questions about it after I got my email confirmation. I was clearly disappointed I called several times and was told no one could help me. That a supervisor would call to talk to me about it and have still heard nothing! As I customer I understand it s a business but would have been 100 percent happy with even a call back or a credit for the race.

Went here for the light show. Glad we got here early as it was really busy. Great for the family

Very awesome track, not sure what else to say that hasn't been said.

At the light show... Be prepared for a long wait to see the light show... Have drinks, snacks and things for the kids to do..

The wait for the Christmas lights is very long, so you would want to eat before and maybe take snacks and drinks with you. My kids kept saying they were hungry and thirsty. We were in line for 4.5 to 5 hours just to see the lights and then another 1.5 to 2 hours going through looking at lights

Great place. Always fun. Crowds aren't bad and everybody for the most part just has a good time.

I had a great time at the 4 wide nationals hope to go next year.

Festival of lights was cool. Instead of making a left turn on the race track we made a right turns lol.

A two-lane drag racing track with quality local beer.

Amazing experience... Very easy getting and it off the track. Plenty of parking. Cheap food and drinks!

Tickets to Summer Shootout were really cheap. But seats are small we felt squished

Autofair always good to see friends but some changes needed to format

Awesome track and amazing history in and around the track in charlotte.

Could be the Mecca of NASCAR racing but I think that honor goes to Daytona Speedway. Still what a religious experience to see the inside of the track on the tour!

Went for Christmas lights. Lights were okay, but timing with music was good. Christmas shop was a bust.

Excellent location! Roadways out front can be very confusing, but parking is well organized. The speedway itself is in great condition. Kept very nicely. Staff are very helpful, informative, professional and polite. The speedway hosts a variety of events, and much of the activities are fun and family friendly. Race season is great, I would recommend coming early and planning on leaving late. Food is of decent pricing, for a sporting event. Food and drinks are often of excellent variety, and decent to good quality.

My son and I went to the races for the first time and we enjoyed it. Next time we will have earplugs

Large group, slow service, food was not as good as before

The Christmas show is a waste of your time! 4 and a half hours to be exact. We waited with 3 kids (who wanted to leave because it took soo long)for over 3 hours before we ever got into the park! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR THE 30$ IT COST!! Spend half that and go to Tanglewood. Yes they have a wait BUT it's only half the time and the lights are much much better!! Never, NEVER again. My kids were asleep before we made it through 5mins of the lights !!..uugghh...disgusted!!

Great place love the environment always a good time

The tour was well worth the money. An informational tour of all tracks including a spin around the Roval!

I"m a general sports fan, but not a NASCAR fan per se. But this tour (Feel the Speedway) was great. It's 90% done within a 15 passenger van. I brought my 5 & 7 year old daughters with me and it was easy to bring their booster seats with us. The van takes you all around the main track and goes about 80 MPH around the track, stopping on one of the turns to let you feel how banked they are. It also takes you to their drag racing track across the street and even goes down that track too.

If you're local, it's definitely worth the time to take the 1 hour tour. Without kids (or with older ones), I'd probably even go for the 2 hour tour that lets you visit the broadcast booth, suites, and a couple other places too.

Miserable! 2.5 hrs to get into the lights and not worth the $ spent. #neveragain

Used to be a lot of fun. A lot of changes, not so much fun anymore. High prices also

Awesome auto race track with Rovol inside track and the typical oval NASCAR RACE VENUE. MANY GREAT EVENTS ARE HEALD HERE SUCH AS "55 YEARS OF MUSTANG" AND " THE GRAND OPENING OF THE MUSTANG OWNERS Museum! Check CMS WEBSITE AND THE MUSTANG OWNER'S MUSEUM" just a short distance awawy from the CMS Speedway

Infield RV stay was a good experience overall. Pros: RV sites level except track-side spots. Easy into and out of area using back stretch tunnel. Dry camping but fresh water tank fills or tank dump service available for $35. Ice $10 for 20 lb bag. Daily curbside garbage bag pickup. Nice shower house. Cons: Only 1 dumpster on the infield. No trash receptacles anywhere so many folks throw beer cans and trash into piles on the roadway, lots of garbage to walk around. Could use strategically placed covered trash bins, maybe hand out a large garbage bag when handing out free race flags. Was told at time of reservation we could attend infield concert but was denied access by security. Rowdy (drunk) enlisted crowd showed up, said they paid nothing to get in, just flashed their military IDs then went wandering around the infield, one stole our rum then passed out in the grass next to us. We paid plenty to be there and didn't appreciate the lack of security with infield admission.

Great place to bring the family and spend the day. Make sure to bring ear plugs, but if you don't have any you can buy them at the shops they around the grounds. My favorite part is watching the professionals breakdown and rebuild the cars. Truly amazing.

The tracks staff was friendly and helpful to my party.An enjoyable experience

Great racing can be found here. Lots of race configurations can be competed on. Great art on the walls inside.

We enjoyed taking the tour of the track and the tour guide knew what she was talking about. We love NASCAR.
