The 1.5-mile superspeedway complex, with zMAX Dragway and The Dirt Track, just north of Harrisburg.
What to know
Charlotte Motor Speedway is in Concord, a short drive from Harrisburg’s NC 49 corridor — it is not a Harrisburg venue, but it shapes life on this side of town. Beyond NASCAR race weekends, the complex offers track tours and driving experiences, and the same campus includes zMAX Dragway and The Dirt Track. Big events affect traffic on NC 49 and nearby roads, so check the event calendar before planning anything else that weekend.

Planning a bigger outing nearby
Many of the area’s bigger attractions sit just outside Harrisburg — around Concord Mills off I-85 Exit 49, along Concord Parkway near the speedway, or farther east in Midland. They are labeled with their real town on this site so it is clear when you are leaving Harrisburg.
These are the best rainy-day and visiting-guest options in the region. Paid attractions usually sell timed tickets online, and major speedway events can change traffic patterns across the whole area.
Before you go
- Book timed tickets ahead where offered
- Check the speedway event calendar for traffic
- Confirm age, height or weight guidelines for activities
- Allow extra time for parking at large venues
