Concord: Charlotte Motor Speedway and the Cabarrus County Seat
Concord, the seat of Cabarrus County, sits northeast of Charlotte with a population around 108,000. The city developed along the North Carolina Railroad in the mid-19th century and became a regional cotton textile center during the Cannon Mills era. James William Cannon founded the mill complex that would later become the largest producer of household textiles in the world, though Cannon Mills as a corporate entity went through successive ownership changes and eventually ceased operations in the early 2000s.
Charlotte Motor Speedway, located just south of Concord in the Harrisburg area, hosts the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend, one of the signature events of the NASCAR Cup Series calendar. The 1.5-mile quad-oval seats about 95,000 spectators and also hosts the NASCAR All-Star Race. zMAX Dragway and the dirt track adjacent to the main facility round out the speedway's event complex.
The NASCAR industry has concentrated race shops, engineering firms, and related suppliers in Concord and neighboring Mooresville. Hendrick Motorsports, the team that has won the most Cup Series championships, maintains its campus on Papa Joe Hendrick Boulevard in Concord. Concord Mills, a large outlet shopping mall on Concord Mills Boulevard, opened in 1999 and is among the most visited attractions in the state.
Downtown Concord retains a commercial historic district along Union Street, with buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The 1876 Cabarrus County Courthouse in the center of downtown served as a filming location for Leatherheads and other productions. Atrium Health Cabarrus operates as the region's primary hospital, formerly known as CMC-NorthEast.
