  • The Growth of the Nascar Industry in Charlotte, North Carolina, 1949-2000
    CITY OF RACERS: THE GROWTH OF THE NASCAR INDUSTRY IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, 1949-2000 by Bryan Paul Gable A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2018 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Mark Wilson ______________________________ Dr. Aaron Shapiro ______________________________ Dr. Ritika Prasad ii ©2018 Bryan Paul Gable ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT BRYAN PAUL GABLE. City of Racers: The Growth of the NASCAR Industry in Charlotte, North Carolina, 1949-2000. (Under the direction of Dr. Mark Wilson) This study explores the development of the NASCAR industry in the city of Charlotte and its surrounding region through the second half of the twentieth century. I argue that NASCAR and Charlotte were seeking the same goals in the late twentieth century: greater national prominence and a strong relationship with corporate America. As a result, NASCAR found a technological and cultural home in Charlotte by proving its worth as a desirable and highly profitable industry. I explain how Charlotte Motor Speedway emerged from bankruptcy and became an exemplary venue for NASCAR by solidifying its reputation as the showplace of NASCAR. I also describe the culture of specialization that the Holman-Moody race team fostered in Charlotte. Later generations of Charlotte NASCAR teams would continue to embrace innovative methods for managing a race team. Finally, I discuss Charlotte’s importance as a growing urban center of the Piedmont and NASCAR’s contributions to building Charlotte’s regional identity. iv DEDICATION For my grandfather, who taught me that academic excellence is its own reward.

You can tell if you need to renew your membership by looking at your mailing label on the back of this issue. If at the top, it says “16”, you are due for renewal. If it says “17” or higher, you have already paid for this year. The renewal form is on the inside of the back cover. You can pay by check, money order or Pay Pal. (send to [email protected]) If you are outside the U.S. please use Pay Pal or money order in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank. If you are in Canada, you can send a Canada Post money order. Call or email if you have questions. If you’ve just joined the club recently, your 2017 dues are already paid. If you are on the computer regularly, you may want to also have your newsletter e-mailed in color. If you do not want the hard copy snail mailed, please check that box on the renewal form and it will save a stamp. You still have the option to receive the both printed and email edition if you want it. Thank you, and we appreciate your support. Pete Hamilton 1942-2017 We are sad to report that Pete Hamilton passed away on March 22nd.
