About zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway

zMax Dragway opened in 2008 as a purpose-built 1/4-mile drag racing facility adjacent to Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. Owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports as part of the broader Charlotte Motor Speedway complex, the venue was founded under Bruton Smith's Speedway Motorsports and includes approximately 30,000 permanent grandstand seats, with additional capacity available for larger events.

Known as “The Bellagio of Dragstrips,” zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway is distinguished by its four-wide racing configuration, which allows four cars to race simultaneously. That setup pioneered the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals and made the facility a premier stop on the National Hot Rod Association tour. The venue also hosts grassroots and amateur racing, autocross, SCCA events, test-and-tune sessions, and special motorsports programming.

Its clean, spacious, modern design and permanent grandstands along the strip give spectators a direct view of all four racing lanes, making the four-wide launch experience the signature feature of zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Location & Transportation

zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway is located at 6570 Bruton Smith Blvd, Concord, NC 28027 — in the Charlotte Motor Speedway complex northeast of Charlotte.

Driving and Parking: The venue is car-access oriented, with access from Bruton Smith Boulevard, Interstate 85, and NC-49. Extensive on-site parking is available across the Charlotte Motor Speedway complex, but major NHRA events bring heavy traffic and full lots ahead of race sessions. Arriving early gives you more time to park, walk the complex, and reach your grandstand section before racing begins.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are feasible at the complex. On major race days, expect longer waits after the event as a large volume of traffic leaves the Charlotte Motor Speedway area at the same time.

Transit: Public transit access is limited, and most attendees arrive by private vehicle. If you are traveling without a car, plan additional time for rideshare or other ground transportation to and from Concord.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is concentrated around Concord Mills and the Charlotte Motor Speedway area, with many hotels near Concord Mills mall and along the I-85 corridor. Additional hotel options are available in Concord and throughout greater Charlotte.

Venue Navigation

zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway is an outdoor motorsports venue built around a four-lane drag strip, with permanent grandstands running alongside the racing surface. Understanding the grandstand layout, gate access, and walking distance across the complex helps make race day smoother.

Entrances and Access: Spectators enter through designated gates along the grandstands, with access from the Charlotte Motor Speedway complex off Bruton Smith Boulevard. For major NHRA events, allow extra time at the gates for ticket verification and crowd flow.

Seating Levels: Permanent grandstand seating lines the four-lane strip, giving fans views of the staging area and all four racing lanes at once. Seats closer to the starting line deliver the most intense launch experience, while grandstand areas farther down the track provide a wider look at the race as it develops.

Getting to Your Section: The grounds are spacious, with signage directing spectators toward grandstand sections. Expect walking across the complex, especially when parking lots are busy for major events.

Dining Options

Inside zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway

Concessions are available on-site, and the facility is known for clean restrooms and well-maintained concession areas.

Outside the Venue — Concord Mills and the I-85 Corridor

Nearby dining is strongest around Concord Mills and along the I-85 / Bruton Smith Boulevard corridor. The area includes numerous chain restaurants and options near the mall, making it practical for a pre-race meal, a quick stop before parking, or food after leaving the complex.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items at motorsports events include weapons, outside alcohol, and glass containers. Cooler rules and permitted items can vary by event, so review the current event policy before arriving.

How Much Do Tickets to zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway Cost?

zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the race or event package, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from grassroots racing and test-and-tune sessions to NHRA Four-Wide Nationals weekend and premium seating packages.

For grassroots racing, amateur racing, and test sessions, tickets can start modestly, often under $25. These events are typically the most budget-friendly way to experience the dragway and its four-lane setup.

For NHRA national events, including single-day Four-Wide Nationals sessions, tickets are typically mid-range, roughly $40–$80 depending on the day, seating location, and demand around the event.

For NHRA multi-day packages, reserved seating, and premium seating, prices can be $80 or more depending on the package and proximity to the starting line. Seats near the launch zone and high-demand race sessions tend to command stronger pricing.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat locations and pricing for marquee NHRA events. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining grandstand sections can rise, especially for major race weekends and premium locations near the starting line.

zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway Seating Guide

zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway has a seating layout built around its four-lane concrete strip, with permanent grandstands oriented toward the staging area and racing lanes. Seat location matters because proximity to the starting line can change the feel of the event, from the launch intensity to the broader view down the track.

Best Seats at zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway

  • Best value: General grandstand seating farther from the starting line typically offers the most affordable options while still keeping the four-wide racing format in view.
  • Closest to the action: Grandstand sections nearest the starting line and launch zone put you closest to the staging area, where the race begins and the four-wide spectacle is at its loudest and most intense.
  • Best overall experience: Seats near the starting line / staging area deliver a strong balance of proximity, atmosphere, and the full visual impact of four cars launching side by side.
  • Premium and suite options: Premium and hospitality options are available for major NHRA events, offering upgraded race-day experiences for fans who want added comfort and service.

Getting Ready for Your zMax Dragway At Charlotte Motor Speedway Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor motorsports venue spread across a large speedway complex.

  • Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service can be congested during large events given crowd volume across the complex. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
  • Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
  • Arrive early. For major NHRA events, traffic and parking lots fill ahead of race sessions, so give yourself extra time to park, walk the complex, and get through entry.
  • Wear the right footwear. Expect walking across a large, spacious complex. Comfortable, supportive shoes are a smart choice for race day.
  • Dress in layers. The venue has open grandstands, so dress for sun, heat, and possible rain. Sun protection and layers help with variable outdoor conditions, and ear protection is advisable given drag racing noise levels.
  • Build extra time into your transit plan. Major race sessions bring heavy traffic around the Charlotte Motor Speedway complex, so leave earlier than you would for a smaller event.
  • Know your entrance. Your gate and grandstand section help guide your route through the complex, and checking those details before arrival can save time once you reach the venue.
  • Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
