World’s biggest auto “extravaganza” at the Speedway

Apr 4, 2017 | Events

auto fairFrom classic Cameros to Twiggy the Water-Skiing Squirrel, the Pennzoil AutoFair at Charlotte Motor Speedway April 6-9 promises something for everyone who loves cars, and even fun for those who don’t.

By everything, we mean 10,000 auto-vendor displays, 50 car-club displays, a massive manufacturers midway and special programs like Women in Racing, the 50th anniversary display of Camaros and Firebirds and, let’s not forget, Twiggy the Water-Skiing Squirrel.

This show is so big, you can rent scooters to get around the grounds and motor homes to spend the night!
