But over the last few decades, NASCAR leaders have started taking their business up Interstate 85. In 2003, NASCAR unveiled its research and development center in Concord. Since then, Cabarrus County leaders have enticed the racing empire to bring its production facility from Uptown to a massive new space in Concord.
Last May, an 85% tax-based incentive grant was approved by Cabarrus County. By August of 2022, NASCAR announced it was planting its roots in Concord. The new facility in Concord will host NASCAR Productions, NASCAR Studios and MRN Radio with more than 140 employees across NASCAR's live event and on-demand production teams. The new facility is expected to be fully operational by early January. -WCNC |
