  NASCAR Speedpark ~ Concord, NC   We are pretty lucky where we live; only twenty miles from Charlotte, only twenty minutes from Hickory and Mooresville, and only forty minutes from Concord Mills in Concord, NC and the home of a NASCAR Speedpark. There are only four other NASCAR Speedparks around; one in Myrtle Beach, Pigeon Forge, and St. Louis, and the other is in Canada. I don't know which location was first but I do know that Pigeon Forge had theirs before we had ours. I guess being located in the heart of NASCAR, probably didn't hurt either.Everyone has their "favorite places" and NASCAR Speedpark just happens to be our son's "favorite place". He never gets enough of it. I guess when I was twelve and if this place was around back then I would have loved it too.   This place has a l... 08/07/2008
