CRA is excited to welcome race fans to Concord, NC this month.

The airport is located about three miles from the track and activity can get pretty busy during this time as visitors fly and drive into our area for these events. In addition, we host many of the military demonstration, helicopter shuttles, and banner towing operations that occur at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Our staffing and hours will be adjusted to ensure we are able to serve existing customers and those customers flying in for the race events. In addition, the tower will be open late after race events to help with aircraft departures.   

Shuttle Specialty, Inc will have a representative and buses waiting at the Airport to provide roundtrip transportation to and from the Airport to the Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600 Sprint Cup race on May 27th.  The cost to avoid the hassles driving through the traffic and finding close parking will be only $25 for the round trip. Rides are in a comfortable air conditioned van or bus that picks up and drops off right in front of the Speedway.  Reservations are necessary but can be made by calling (704) 598-3644. 

Also, for the Coke 600 race, World Fuel and RKLewis Consulting will provide a complementary BBQ lunch to those at the airport in the afternoon. 

For those at the airport during the race, the race can be watched on our HDTV in the terminal lobby.  Pilots can also relax in our pilot lounge with computer stations, large recliners, satellite TV and FREE WiFi. We usually have several pilots with us most of the evening during the race events waiting on passengers who depart once the race is over.

For our customers who need aircraft services, such as fuel, please allow for extra time and get your requests in to our customer service desk as early as possible, we will be handling requests on a first-come, first-served basis.
