Race Shop Tours - October 2009
As race fans visit Lowe's Motor Speedway for the weekend of the NASCAR Banking 500 only from the Bank of America, they now have the added opportunity to go on race shop tours hosted by the speedway. This is a great way for those camping at the speedway or fans that are in the area early to visit some of the area teams' shops. Tours are available through the ticket office.
Our first stop for this year's race shop tours will be Hendrick Motorsports. While there, fans will be able to tour the museum along with the viewing areas of all four NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams - 5, 24, 48 and 88. The retail store will also be open and fans will receive a discount on any merchandise they would like to purchase.
The tour will then depart for Roush Fenway Racing. Once there, fans may tour the museum and visit the 80-seat theater to view some of Roush Fenway Racing's greatest moments. Before leaving, fans can browse the gift shop and receive a discount on their purchase. Food vendors will also be available on-site for those interested in purchasing lunch.
