Here's an interesting project that's being announced this afternoon north of Charlotte: Speedway Motorsports and Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick are partnering to create Ten Tenths Motor Club, a physical space for car collectors and high-performance car enthusiasts (like Hendrick), that includes a new road course that's already been built near Charlotte Motor Speedway, as well as a high-end clubhouse and private garages designed for event-hosting (up to 1,500 guests). Seems like a pretty clever move, given the importance of sponsors in the motorsports world (and having a great place to host them). More details here: https://lnkd.in/eK6uCxm8 DLR Group designed the clubhouse, which is being built by Choate Construction Company (the photos below are from Turn 11 at Sonoma Raceway, kind of the genesis of the clubhouse idea)
