If our route is US 78 between Memphis and Birmingham, in Tupelo, Mississippi there is the Elvis Presley Birthplace and Museum and The Tupelo Automobile Museum.

Try this link............second waterfall, Bridal Veil Falls. You can park your car behind the falls. Very pretty sight and is on Hwy 28 between Franklin and Highlands, NC. Depending on the route, this is a really scenic, fun drive. Sorry, no Hooters there

Lots of great stuff to see in Western NC, and some really fun roads to drive. Getting from Chattanooga into Zmax before 6:oo PM might be difficult. Traffic is horrible, especially on Friday's, due to construction on 85 & the 485 interchange.
Keep this in mind for the side trips.Comment

When it gets closer I will list the routes I take during race traffic. They will get you really close with out major congestion.Originally posted by cobra View Postis there a secret local backway in that you won't get in trouble for revealing to us non locals? after all, we are family
Even with that, spending half the day sight seeing and trying to get to Charlotte will be tight. I can see doing the Dragon, but not Biltmore or Chimney Rock.
Touring the Parkway and that area should be a couple day event, possibly the Spring Tour would work better.
A couple of friends and I did a parkway tour one year and ended up at a great cruise night in Lenoir NC.Comment

Lots of us are coming BACK towards Asheville and Knoxville.......I plan on a couple of side trips on the way back to Kansas!! Couldn't agree more about making it to CLT in a timely manner. I'm curious how much interstate the route will have that day.......Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'

Directions to Zmax
The routes you take will have to be decided on from where you are coming from. If you come in the interstate from Ashville on 40 just hit 77south and get off at the Hwy 73 Huntersville exit and go into Concord then south on 49 straight to the track. This is mostley 4lanes interstate driving though.
Ashville NC
139 mi, 2 hours 32 mins In current traffic: 2 hours 39 mins
I-26 E, US-74 E and I-85N 134 mi, 2 hours 10 mins
US-74Alt E 139 mi, 3 hours 33 mins
Chattanooga,
328 mi, 5 hours 39 mins In current traffic: 5 hours 39 mins US-74 E
331 mi, 6 hours 26 mins US-64 E
The last route will be the least interstate driving and some very nice scenery. There are some great little towns on this route. This is my area where I live.
Bridal Veil Falls
Dry Falls
