Charlotte Douglas International Airport (IATA: CLT, ICAO: KCLT, FAA LID: CLT) is a mid-size international airport located in
Charlotte, North Carolina.
Charlotte Airport is the hub of stock car racing, with major races being held at nearby Lowe's Motor Speedway, considered by
most fans and participants in the sport to be NASCAR's 'home track'. A vast majority of NASCAR teams and race shops are
located within 40 miles of Charlotte, and most NASCAR drivers maintain a residence in or near the city. Seventy-three
percent of American motorsports employees are based within two hours of downtown Charlotte. The NASCAR Hall of Fame is
set to open in Charlotte in early 2009.
