Charlotte was an obvious choice over other included sites such as Atlanta and Daytona, simply because of the number of stock car racers that have come from the area. In fact, over 73% of all motorsports employees call the Charlotte area their home. The building consists of four floors, all of which have different interactive displays. The hall of legends is located on the third floor.
Eligibility in the hall states that you must have been associated with NASCAR for 10 years, and have been retired for three years. That requirement, however, was changed in 2014 if you had over 30 years in NASCAR or turned the age of 55. Presently, there have been a total of 45 inductees into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Charlotte Fun Facts: There’s nothing. Seriously. Green Bay was at least the toilet paper capital of the world. Charlotte has nothing. I looked at 3 or 4 different websites, and nothing struck me something that anyone would find ‘fun’ or ‘interesting.’
Food: BBQ. Ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, hot links. A fun fact about the OP (that’s me), Carolina Style BBQ is my favorite cuisine.
Beer: North Carolina is a big time beer state. Ashville, NC produces some of the finest craft breweries in the country. Charlotte Is no slouch either. A couple of my favorite breweries: Heist, Legion, and Wooden Robot.
Famous People: Arn Anderson, Ricky Steamboat, Jim Nantz, Richard Petty, Ric Flair.
The Game: Here’s my thing…open up the playbook. Let Mitch make his mistakes. Let Mitch show us what we can do. Give the fans what they came to see. Defensively, I want a big game out of McPhee. I need him to come crashing hard, giving the Panthers something to think about. Let his play be the one that gets Nardflo to do fun things.
Bears 24 Panthers 10.
Offensive Player of the Game: Cody Whitehair.
Take your worry about the yips and go to hell. This kid is a player. He is a road grader. He’s the type of guy I want on my side if I get into a rumble. Bears are going to use his energy and his rumble skills to destroy the Carolina defensive line.
Defensive Player of the Game: Eddie Goldman
Really starting to feel like I'm the only one talking about this guy. He's going to push that pocket back and cause havoc all game long. Book it.
