Concord Motorsport Park

Concord Motorsport Park is a Motorsports facility located in Concord, North Carolina, part of Greater Charlotte.

The park consists of two tracks: a 1/2 mile tri-oval and a 1/4 mile oval. The tri-oval seats 8,500 fans with room for 28 RVs, the 1/4 mile track seats 2,050. Additionally, the track has several air conditioned suites located behind the main granstand.

CMP is home to several racing series including the Whelen All-American Series.

The track is active as a site for the filming of several television commercials, television shows and music videos.

History

The track was built by Henry Furr. Originally an oval dirt-track, Furr reconfigured the track adding a true dog-leg to the back stretch. The track now has three unique turns. Pit road entrance is located in the tri-oval prior to turn three. The track had seating for over 12,000 fans prior to a recent downsizing that saw the turn one grandstands converted to a dirt berm.

The track has hosted the Big 10 series in two different stints. Most recently Super Late Models competed in the series from 2003-2005. Freddie Query is the track's all-time leader in wins and claimed the Big 10 series championship in 2004 and 2005.

The track has also hosted the Hooter's Pro-Cup Series annually and hosted an ASA event.

Notable competitors

Winners and competitors at the track include Query, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jack Sprague, Ernie Irvan, Justin Labonte, Clay Rogers, and Bobby Gill.
