Raceworld USA, located in Cornelius, North Carolina
Waltrip World, now Race World USA has opened its doors to the public. Still enduring a disappointing season on the track the
multicar NASCAR Team unveiled its new race shop/theme park style facility today. With thousands of fans visiting the Charlotte
area for the annual speed-week and the series of races that go along with it, the new Race World USA should be quite an attraction.
Formally a movie theater, the new Race World USA building has been fully renovated, expanded and attached to the old “Extreme
Sports” building behind it. This makes for quite a large state of the art facility. Visitors can enter into the lobby
area that displays each team and includes a driver/team display as well as a car showcase area. Upstairs fans can pay a fee
to walk what Race World calls “A Revolutionary Stock Car Experience”. The walk through display includes an RV
display that shows the living quarters of the drivers at the races, a hauler display, pit crew practice area, fabrication
area, car assembly area, a number of specialty areas, a theater, a retail store and even a restaurant.
