Abandoned Racetrack: Metrolina Speedway



This abandoned 1/2 mile oval racetrack near Charlotte, North Carolina, perhaps best known as where Dale Earnhardt, Sr. won his first race on asphalt, was explored by the person behind the "AdamTheWoo" YouTube channel, before the track was cleaned up and an attempt at rebuilding it was made. Supposedly this place is returning to nature again after the attempt at a rebuild failed.

While I do not approve of the poor video quality, the horseplay inside abandoned places seen in the intro and in their other videos, and the obnoxious music in the intro, this is still one of the most thorough explorations of the Metrolina Speedway available...
