episode 4181: Charlotte’s Glory: The NASCAR Hall of Fame in the Queen City
Hannah Thompson is a cultural historian of the Carolina Piedmont and is new in the museum field with her current position with the Gaston County Museum of Art & History. Ms. Thompson also helps restore Coca-Cola "ghost signs" throughout the Southeast in her spare time. She examines the history of the NASCAR Hall of Fame from its inception in 2001 through the global pandemic, bringing into consideration why Charlotte was selected as the seat for the Hall and how the Hall has affected NASCAR and its fans. Charlotte is often overlooked in motorsports history despite its lasting impact on the auto racing world.
