Charlotte, North Carolina
Broke ground January 2007
Opened May 11, 2010
Owner City of Charlotte
Operator Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority
Construction cost US $160 million
Architect Pei, Cobb, Freed and Partners

The NASCAR Hall of Fame honors drivers who have shown exceptional skill at NASCAR driving, all-time great crew chiefs and owners, and other major contributors to the sport. NASCAR committed itself to building a Hall of Fame and on March 6, 2006, the city of Charlotte, North Carolina was selected as the location. Ground was broken for the $160 million facility on January 26, 2007 and it officially opened on May 11, 2010,[1] with the inaugural class to be inducted the day following NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race XXVI. The new Hall of Fame brings hundreds of jobs and an increase in tourism to Charlotte. In addition to the Hall of Fame, the NASCAR Plaza, a 20-story office building, opened in May, 2009. The 390,000-square-foot (36,000 m2) structure serves as the home of Hall of Fame-related offices, NASCAR Digital Media, and their licensing division. Other tenants include the Charlotte Regional Partnership and Lauth Property Group. Richard Petty and Dale Inman helped unveil the first artifact at the Hall of Fame, which was the Plymouth Belvedere that Petty drove to 27 wins in 1967.[2]

The City of Charlotte was responsible for the construction of the building and will own the NASCAR Hall of Fame. However, it is operated by the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority. Winston Kelley is the NASCAR Hall of Fame Executive Director. Internationally renowned Pei, Cobb, Freed & Partners is leading the design effort. Little Diversified Architectural Consulting based in Charlotte, NC is the local architectural firm overseeing many aspects of design and construction of the project. Engineering and Fabrication of the stainless steel möbius which wraps around the structure was completed by Zahner, of Kansas City. Exhibition design is by Ralph Appelbaum Associates, and exhibition lighting by Technical Artistry. Site excavation and grading services commenced on May 21, 2007.

Hope everyone got a change to see the opening on the news or read about it.

Maraudervile VIII Theme

Marauderville VIII Theme

Its not unique its called the Eighth,
For this Marauderville is with fate,
NASCAR now has their five,
We know however, the Marauder is still alive

So don’t be late,
Cause you will be in hate-
For there is fun
Found under those buns!

We will travel the lands
Of the Carolinas in Black, Silver,
Dark Toreador and Blue,
So you can enjoy
Having been there too

Each day will bring,
A unique new thing,
You haven’t seen
Since you were a teen

Your amazement of the days shoots,
Will bring you to want morrow,
But at the end of the days event,
You will breath a relief of knowing , there is a tomorrow

Don’t say it will end,
Cause it is for us kin,
That takes us from one to one another,
Till we meet again.

Don’t be a stranger to each other,
You know we are the same brother,
Wanting to know and feel the car,
With you and others the answer is not far

So Come on down to Charlotte this year-
You have heard the old saying- wish I’d been there-
so don’t despair,

We will say for sure
on you leave without fear,
Ya’ll come back now, Ya’ll hear!!
