Forgotten Classic NASCAR Race Shops Ultimate History Tour! (What Do They Look Like Today?)
What happens here
Head to the Mooresville area, often referred to as 'Race City USA', and specifically explore industrial parks like 'Lakeside Park'. This area once housed numerous race shops, including locations for MB2 Motorsports (M&M's car, now Detroit Speed), Joe Nemechek / NEMCO Motorsports, former Penske South (Rusty Wallace #2 car), Red Bull Racing, and Jasper Motorsports. Drive through these areas, carefully observing buildings for clues to their past racing identities, such as old architectural styles, faint logos, or historical signage that might not have been updated. The video mentions a sign in Lakeside Park that still lists many defunct race teams, suggesting the importance of looking for these historical anomalies.
Goal: Identify and document former race shops within Mooresville's industrial parks.
