Lowe’s Motor Speedway, originally called Charlotte Motor Speedway, was the first track to be named after a corporate sponsor when it became Lowe’s Motor Speedway in 1999. It’s a 1.5-mile oval in Concord, NC. When first opened in 1960, it joined venerable Darlington Raceway and newcomers Daytona International Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway (opened in 1959 and 1960, respectively) as one of the few long, paved, steeply banked superspeedways on the NASCAR circuit.

The track was the first to host 600-mile races, the most prominent being the World 600 (1960-1984) and the Coca-Cola 600 (1986-present). Other well-known races run at the speedway include the National 400/500 (1960-1976 and 1980-1982), the Mellow Yellow 500 (1990-1994), and the UAW-GM Quality 500 (1995-2005). It hosted the Coca-Cola 600 and Bank of America 500 in 2006. Lowe’s Motor Speedway is also the site of NASCAR’s annual all-star race.
