CHARLOTTE, N.C. – As preparations for next month’s Bank of America ROVAL 400 weekend continue, Charlotte Motor Speedway opened its campgrounds Wednesday for evacuees seeking refuge from Hurricane Helene, which is expected to bring high winds, heavy rain and flooding to regions across the Southeast over the next several days. The speedway’s campgrounds are conveniently located just minutes from Exit 49 (Bruton Smith Boulevard) off of Interstate 85. With severe weather in the forecast, accommodations will be available as long as possible. Details Evacuees are asked to check in at the Camping World Racing Resort office (6600 Bruton Smith Blvd, Concord, NC 28027), which can be accessed at the entrance to zMAX Dragway, starting as early as Wednesday. After-hour arrivals should park near the camping office and check in during regular business hours. Evacuees will have access to bathhouse facilities on speedway property. Questions can be directed to the camping office at 704-455-4445.
