CHARLOTTE – Charlotte city council members learned more Monday about what contractors are doing to keep the NASCAR Hall of Fame on the cutting edge of racing.
Council members questioned contractors in charge of the interactive exhibits in the 40,000 square feet of exhibit space. Four exhibit contractors, including Electrosonic and Kubik-Maltbie, showed sketches of what the space would include.
"Things that we're building today will designed to be in place and enjoyed for many, many years," Chuck Maltbie, of Kubik-Maltbie, said.
Council members questioned how to keep exhibits fresh and up to speed.
"The great hall space, we'll change that out at least twice a year, so people who come to the May race and the October race will see different exhibits," Winston Kelley, executive director of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, said.
City council members will vote on the four NASCAR hall of fame exhibit contractors at their April 13 meeting – almost exactly one year before the facility opens to thousands of visitors.
