CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Speedway Motorsports and NASCAR Hall of Fame team owner Rick Hendrick announced the Ten Tenths Motor Club, a 100-acre complex designed for automotive and racing enthusiasts.
The sprawling complex was designed to attract motorsports enthusiasts and manufacturers from around the world. Operated by Charlotte Motor Speedway's parent company Speedway Motorsports, the Ten Tenths Circuit is a purpose-built road course with three configurations for high-performance driving. The facility includes a members' garage, climate-controlled storage, putting course and expansive off-road driving trails. Hendrick Automotive Group will provide maintenance assistance for members with master technicians available for multiple car manufacturers.
“Our vision for Ten Tenths is to create an experiential destination that can be enjoyed by everyone from professional race car drivers to high-performance driving enthusiasts and car collectors,” Speedway Motorsports President and CEO Marcus Smith said. “It’s the most expansive property development at Charlotte Motor Speedway since we built zMAX Dragway in 2008, and further enhances our desire to innovate for the future.
“As the name Ten Tenths implies, we are going all out to create a place to celebrate the automobile unlike any other place in the world,” Smith added. “Our new project will become a centerpiece of community amongst individual automotive enthusiasts, commercial partners and manufacturers.”
Located outside Turns 1 and 2 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Ten Tenths Motor Club will host its grand opening on April 4-5, 2025. Construction is nearly complete on the circuit while work on the clubhouse is underway.
The Ten Tenths circuit was designed by F1 veteran and two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Alexander Wurz. It includes three configurations: a seven-turn inner loop, a 13-turn, 1.1-mile short course and a full 19-turn, 1.7-mile circuit. The inner loop will be water-irrigated to allow for optimized testing in all types of weather conditions.
“The track itself in its beautiful landscape has a lot of ups and downs and enjoys a natural flow,” Wurz said. “Every corner of the circuit has a different character. Altogether, it plays a symphony of drivers’ music. It wants to be driven very fast. You can rotate the car into the corners."
