Asphalt as a souvenir? NASCAR fans seek chunks of historic NC track as keepsakes

One of the small North Carolina racetracks that helped give birth to NASCAR is being repaved for the first time in 34 years, and chunks of the old track have become a hot commodity among racing fans. Hickory Motor Speedway apparently understands that kind of devotion to the sport, and it intends to oblige the unusual requests. The track is about a 45-mile drive northeast from uptown Charlotte. “We greatly appreciate all the interest in the paving project and the possibility of an historical souvenir. However, we request your patience and understanding while the project is undergoing and until completion,” the track wrote in a Nov. 9 Facebook post. “At this time we are working to determine the best way to provide for those who desire the opportunity for an historic souvenir from Hickory Motor Speedway’s decorated past.

Lake Norman Real Estate Market Report | November 2026

The Lake Norman real estate market changed character this fall, and October’s numbers show exactly how.

If you own a home around the lake and you’re weighing a listing before the holidays against one in spring, those numbers matter more than the calendar does.
