Speedway : Tickets : Goodguys Southeastern Nationals

Goodguys Southeastern Nationals

Friday, October 30 - Sunday, November 1, 2009 | 8:00am

More than 3,000 custom and modified cars will be at Lowe's Motor Speedway for the 16th annual Goodguys Southeastern Nationals Oct. 30 - Nov. 1. Born more than 50 years ago, the street rod and custom craze is thriving and this giant event showcases automotive masterpieces from around the nation.

Street rods, customs, street machines and muscle cars displayed at the Goodguys Southeastern Nationals span the spectrum of automotive history, ranging from Model-A Fords stuffed with V-8 power to the radical Dodges and Chevrolets that ruled the streets during the late 1960s.

The action-packed event also includes a manufacturers' midway, swap meet, car corral area with vehicles for sale, model car and pedal car display and a chance to ride around the famous 1.5-mile Lowe's Motor Speedway at 130-plus miles per hour in the passenger seat of a NASCAR Sprint Cup race car.

A highlight of the weekend comes Saturday night when more than 2,000 of the brightly colored machines take to the 1.5-mile superspeedway for the annual Cruise Under the Lights.

For additional details, online event registration or to purchase tickets online, visit Goodguys Southeastern Nationals.

Attention, all fans and participants planning to travel through Western North Carolina on I-40. Due to a rockslide that occurred at mile marker 2.6 in North Carolina, near the Tennessee state line, on Oct. 25, Interstate 40 is closed from mile marker 451 in Tennessee to mile marker 20 in North Carolina. For an alternate route, NC DOT recommends using I-81 to I-26.

Tom Johnson Camping Center

October 30 - November 1, 2009

Located just off Bruton Smith Boulevard (I-85, exit 49), the Tom Johnson Camping Center Racing Resort at Charlotte is a short walk from the frontstretch of the home of stock car racing, Lowe's Motor Speedway. The campground, a short drive from the shopper's paradise Concord Mills, is adjacent to the renowned Rocky River Golf Course.

The camping center has expanded to include 430 sites equipped with electricity (30, 50 amp), sewer, water hookups and a picnic table. Phase I of the resort opened in 1999 on 16 acres. Phase II was completed in 2001 and added 203 ultra large sites and expanded the area to 29 acres. Phase III opened in May 2009 adding another 92 ultra large sites. An open pavilion was also added. It features a large seating area that can accommodate camping clubs, weddings and company parties. The ultra-modern restroom and shower facility completes all the needs for a great camping experience.

Stay with us for the 16th annual Goodguys Southeastern Nationals. Back-in sites are just $30 a night and pull-through sites are $50 a night.
