Charlotte Motor Speedway

This review is just for the Christmas light show. We waited in an extremely slow line for 2 1/2 hours before we even got in. It was ridiculous to have to wait that long. What the organizers really need to do is have a certain time slot for a group of people so everyone isn't coming at once. I realize they're trying to make as much money as they can and JAM as many of us in there as possible. Money, money, money! But if others feel like I do... then in the long run this is going to backfire and they are going to lose a LOT of customers. The actual light show, once we finally got in was reasonably good... but the line was still incredibly slow. We got there at about 6pm and did not leave until nearly 11pm. And that was without stopping at the concessions in the middle AND it was taking the left "lane" which was for "faster traffic". WHO KNOWS how long we would have been there if we had actually taken the right "lane" which was for "slower" traffic or if we had stopped for concessions. Never again. Ever.

Came here for the Christmas speedway lights. In the EXPRESS lane, expect to wait over 2 hours in the express lane for over $84. They should have porta potties for cars in line. The express line was very slow. Not worth it at all. Do not come here on a weekend. It's terribly managed traffic control. We will not return ever. I RECOMMEND YOU TRY SOMETHING ELSE.

In from CT to visit family. We decided to come out tonight to see the show. Certainly not worth $45.00. We waited 2 hrs to get in to see a 10 minute show and now 2 hrs to get out. I say stay home and watch a two hour Christmas movie at home.Improve the entrance and departure time in getting all these cars out in a timely fashion.My recommendation would be selling tickets in advance according to time slots. Then you wouldn't have everyone show up at the same time and such long lines. What kills the experience is the entry and exit.Would not recommend this at all due to the long wait to get in and out of the show.NEVER AGAIN!!!Merry Christmas All.

Ive been to Charlotte Motor Speedway to actually see race many years ago. Parking is readily available and not free. Facility is used for other events thru out the year. Give yourself plenty of parking time, it gets busy when there is an event. I do remember enjoyin the race, it was a great experience. Bring ear protection it will get really loud. Lots of walking so be prepared. Seating is very hard, so bring something soft for your comfort. This most recent time in Dec 2023, I went to Cirque Du Soleil. Its a yearly tradition for my family. Always a great time in whatever city you choose! The event wasn't on the race track, but they used the field area for parking. Everything was organized, parking attendants are on site. If you have never been to a Cirque show, treat yourself, you wont regret it!

The World of Outlaws event at Charlotte Motor Speedway was a unique experience, especially with the lively dirt track and the variety of outside vendors adding to the atmosphere. However, the event felt a bit lacking in terms of indoor amenities or options for comfort. Sitting close to the track without proper eyewear or a jacket left me unprepared for the dirt and weather, and the metal bench seating could have used some cushioning for longer races. It's a good event if you come fully prepared, but without the right gear, it can be a bit rough around the edges.

I went to the speedway today for a tiny house festival, which turned out to be quite a letdown. The event was overhyped as if there would be rows of tiny houses along with various vendors and food trucks, but in reality, there were only about five tiny homes and the lines were so long that I only managed to explore one. Waiting half an hour to enter each house was simply absurd. However, the day wasn't a total loss--it was sunny and pleasant, a DJ played some great music, and I spent quality time with a wonderful friend.

Pretty space, lots of parking easy accessibility and I am overall impressed by the experience I have had here. Many food stalls and more than plenty bathrooms!

I visited the Christmas Lights and the Christmas Village for my birthday yesterday, and it was just as great as last year. I go every year for my birthday but this was my first time going to the village. They had funnel cakes, corn dogs, hot chocolate, turkey legs, etc. There were fire pits and smores and plenty of tables to sit. We had such a great time. The drive in movie that was playing was White Christmas. Overall it was a great time. I can't wait to visit again next year!

This review is specifically for the Speedway Christmas at the motor speedway! It's a late review but if you want to attend next year you'll be Informed. Number one, get there early! It takes about 20/30 minutes to get in. So have enough gas as well lol. The christmas village was only open thursday through Sunday. The s'mores and hot chocolate station is $6 for two comes with a stick in the fire pit. One of my favorite parts of the village. You can never go wrong with the fair food so of course I had to get something to eat Gyro,butterfly fries, and of course the turkey leg! Loved all of them. They had this inside area which is actually pretty warm. They have different vendors, decoration santa,and drink for the drinkers. The inside Is pretty warm so you can get some food and some drinks and really just chill or you have the option of going to your car and watch their Christmas movie on the big screen dope. When I went monday through Wednesday is $30 per car, thursday through sunday is $40 per car. Also thursday through sunday they have a skip line, which is $70 which means can skip the line and get right to it. I'm a regular civilian. So I was in the normal line, but don't let my pocket stop your pockets! More reviews on Tik Tok @SwaleEats

CHRISTMAS LIGHT SHOWPLEASE do your research before you go. I had a horrible experience because I showed up with my friend expecting a total of an hour-2 hour long experience. Nope. We sat in line for 4/5 hours. Then the show was a complete let down, so disappointing. Your neighborhood lights are probably more impressive. We couldn't get back home till 1 in the morning and we left at 7pm. AND people are so dumb and cant read the sign that clearly states to make TWO LANES and the left is for people looking to leave the speedway. It was so chaotic. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
