The track, also known as Charlotte Fairgrounds Speedway', was 1/2 mile (.804 km) in length and had a clay surface.
It was paved for a short time in the 1970s to allow the NASCAR circuit to hold races there.
[needs update] Many racers have raced at Metrolina Speedway, including Dale Earnhardt Sr., Brad Teague, and Harry Gant.
In 2009, plans were announced to reopen the track as the Metrolina Speed and Sport Center.
The track was the subject of the first episode of Lost Speedways on Peacock hosted by Dale Earnhardt Jr.[2] A FedEx logistics center now sits next to the site.
