CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The NASCAR Hall of Fame will reopen to the general public next week with reduced capacity and enhanced health and safety measures in place.
The Hall of Fame will be open from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Wednesday through Monday, with Tuesdays reserved for private groups and special events. In advance of its official reopening, the Hall will also welcome back existing members on Saturday, Sept. 12 and Sunday, Sept. 13.
“We’re thrilled and ready to welcome back guests to the NASCAR Hall of Fame,” said Winston Kelley, Executive Director. “The health and safety of our visitors and staff is our highest priority, and based on months of hard work from our teammates at the Hall and Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority, we are confident we are prepared to safely reopen.”
To meet the new operational demands brought on by COVID-19, the Hall and the CRVA have re-written protocols to a standard called “We Clean with Care,” which translates to rigorous measures involving sanitizing and disinfecting all venues with increased frequency and implementing new personal safety best practices.

- Electrostatic/disinfectant sprayers will be used in high-touch areas including, but not limited to, the High Octane Theater, racing simulators, Pit Crew Experience and Legends Room
- Color-coordinated microfiber cloths are being used with a disinfectant cleaning solution to eliminate cross-contamination in high-touch areas
- Dozens of hand sanitizer stations have been installed strategically throughout the building in high traffic areas
- All NASCAR Hall employees have been provided with face masks and are required to wear them while on duty
- Foot claws have been installed on all restroom doors for hands-free use
