NASCAR's self-proclaimed hometown of Charlotte is home to Charlotte Motor Speedway, built in 1959 by the current owner Bruton Smith and Speedway Motorsports, Inc. This area is known as the “Mecca of Motorsports”. Charlotte Motor Speedway is a 1.5 mile oval situated on land that was once a working plantation during the Civil War era. The Speedway boasts 24 degrees of banking in the turns and 5 degrees of banking on the straightaways and has a seating capacity of 165,000 race fans. Constant additions and improvements have occurred since the eighties, including grandstand additions, VIP suites, a seven story office tower which houses the world famous Speedway Club and one of the largest souvenir shops in the country. One of the biggest projects, however, was the installation of the $1.7 million, 1,200 fixture permanent lighting system developed by MUSCO Lighting of Oskaloosa, Iowa. The revolutionary lighting process uses mirrors to simulate daylight without glare, shadows or obtrusive light poles. The lighting system was installed in 1992, allowing Charlotte Motor Speedway to be the first modern superspeedway to host night auto racing
