The Hornets are buying the old Epicentre in a joint venture

Hornets Sports & Entertainment is acquiring and plans to revitalize Queen City Quarter — aka the Epicentre — in a joint venture with two real estate firms. Why it matters: The Hornets bring the built-in customer base, capital and literal buzz that may be necessary to revive Uptown's once-booming party central, right next to Spectrum Center. This could also be the missing piece to the Hornets' long-desired "entertainment district" along Trade Street. Flashback: Before South End was cool, the Epicentre used to be the place to be for Charlotte's nightlife. After its initial owners filed for Chapter 11 protection in 2010, it turned into a ghost town during COVID. It gained a reputation for crime and went into foreclosure in 2022. Most of the popular bars and businesses shuttered. It hasn't been the same since, even after the new property managers CBRE promised to turn it into a family-friendly destination. The latest: The Hornets' ownership is partnering with firms Lincoln Property Company and Vision Ventures. A sales price was not disclosed.

Hendrick Motorsports Re-Engineers Sprawling Campus to Lead Motorsports Evolution

Jeff Gordon had more than 60 corporate executives holding their breath in fall 2025. The former NASCAR driver was taking them around Ten Tenths Motor Club in a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X.

It was an unusual way to entertain sponsors, but that was precisely the point. Hendrick Motorsports had found a way to give its partners something they could not get from a regular race weekend. For Rick Hendrick, it also filled a gap in an operation that...
