Thanks for the heads up “Bill L.”

There will be a CARS exhibit at NASCAR’s Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC.

CARS 3: INSPIRED BY NASCAR

This exhibit will be on display in the Great Hall from Sept. 28, 2017 – May 31, 2018.*

Disney•Pixar and the NASCAR Hall of Fame have teamed up to bring the inspiration for the newest movie from the “Cars” franchise to life.

In this limited-time exhibit, guests are invited to discover the real life NASCAR personalities who either voiced or inspired the characters featured in “Cars 3.” The detailed fictional world of “Cars” is filled with authentic references to the real world of NASCAR.

Inspired by the sport’s names, places and events, the film uses the rich history of NASCAR to create its settings, characters and plot. “‘Cars 3’ very much pays homage  to stock car racing and its rich history,” said “Cars 3” director Brian Fee. “Our story leans into the drama, emotion and excitement NASCAR fans find at every race.”

Lightning McQueen himself will be in the Great Hall for the entirety of the exhibit!

NASCAR drivers Chase Elliott (Chase Racelott), Ryan Blaney (Ryan “Inside” Laney), Daniel Suárez (Daniel Swervez) and Bubba Wallace (Bubba Wheelhouse) along with NASCAR legends Jeff Gordon (Jeff Gorvette), Richard “The King” Petty (Strip “The King” Weathers), Darrell Waltrip (Darrell Cartrip) and Ray Evernham (Ray Reverham) will also be featured in the exhibit.

The NASCAR Hall of Fame will also host “Cars 3”-themed special events, including:

• Oct. 14 – 2nd Saturday: Make and Model
• Nov. 11 – 2nd Saturday: Fast as Lightning

NOTE – there are 3 days in December the exhibit is closed so do not go those days.
