text: Loved this place. I was working in NC during this week and timed things so I could be in Charlotte to go see the new NASCAR HOF. I went on Wednesday May 12th, the second day it was open. Surprisingly, there were very few outside waiting to get in and overall, was very uncrowded the entire time I was there. I am not a huge die hard NASCAR fan but overall, I am in to all types of motor racing. So I could not pass up a chance to see this spectacle. It's very well done. Tons of things to see and do. Lots of staff everywhere to tell you about the various displays, offering to take your photo in front of cars etc. A huge amount of history in here that every NASCAR fan should go and see at least once.
