Because of stock car racing's roots in and wealth of famous drivers from North Carolina, Charlotte was considered the favorite by many fans and commentators.
There are many NASCAR offices in the area and many teams in the three major NASCAR series (Cup, Xfinity and Truck Series) totaling over 73% of motorsports employees in the United States, in what the committee called "NASCAR Valley."
The Hall of Fame is in Uptown Charlotte, about 25 minutes south of Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The bid was led by NASCAR car owner Rick Hendrick, then Mayor Pat McCrory, and business leaders in Charlotte.
Pei Cobb Freed & Partners were enlisted to design the complex, which is near the Charlotte Convention Center.
