Concord Regional Airport (ICAO: KJQF, FAA LID: JQF) is a city-owned, public-use airport located seven nautical miles (13 km) west of the central business district of Concord, a city in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, United States.^[1] According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013,^[2] it is classified as a reliever airport for Charlotte/Douglas International Airport.^[1]

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned JQF by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.^[3]

Because of the multiple race teams that base aircraft fleets at JQF and its close proximity to Charlotte Motor Speedway, the airport is sometimes referred to as "NASCAR's Airport."^[4]
