Racing: An Economic Winner
The explosive growth of the motorsports industry is driving more and more jobs home to North Carolina every year. As many of the state’s traditional manufacturing industries have lost ground, motorsports has become a leading force in our economic development.

NC is Leading the Pack
More than one million fans pack motorsports events throughout North Carolina every year, supercharging the economy by $5.9 billion in 2005 alone and creating more than 27,000 jobs across the state. As the birthplace of stock car racing, North Carolina has also generated a highly competitive field of multi-million dollar motorsports-related industries and is home to the greatest number of race teams in the United States.
