"If I can't have Texas, I'll go with Charlotte. ;)

That part of the country is the home of Nascar, anything else would just be ridiculous."

The roots of Nascar have a lot to do with north Georga...

All of that part of the country supplied the roots. Current home of most teams is Charlotte.

Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt are both from the Charlotte area (at least, if you call Randolph County the Charlotte area), so they get my vote. Of course, my in-laws live two miles from Lowes Motor Speedway, so I'm a bit biased...

Lucky you.
I grew up about 2 miles as a crow flies from a 1/2 mile dirt track in West Central Minnesota, I remember as a kid listening to the sound every saturday night during the season for years, had brothers and bro-in-laws that used to race so I used to go to the races quite a bit as well. I was pretty young and didn't really appreciate what was to come . They still race a full schedule of stuff from hobby to super stock and modifeds at the track. 'It' gets in one's blood.

Well this place http://www.motorsportshalloffame.com/ which is not exclusively NASCAR but somehow was founded by Bill France seems a bit superfluous then. Currently Dale Earnhardt Sr. is about to be inducted. It's also in the heart of NASCAR country in Alabama.

"Charlotte is considered the homebase to the majority of NASCAR's teams and drivers, who have their shops in and around the city"

No other city should be considered.

Pay league? They're cut-throat :-)

Last year, Yahoo had things up somewhere around the 12th.

NC does offer NASCAR tags for 30 different drivers. Unlike the royalties from other special interest tags, the royalties from these tags go directly to NASCAR. This, according to an article I read, but I haven't seen anything to confirm this at the DMV website.

What NASCAR is doing with this money is also unclear.
