Auto123.com recently visited the Michael Waltrip Racing shop in Cornelius, NC for a non-exclusive tour. Any NASCAR fan can show up at the race shop, pay a small fee, and take a tour of the factory and see the race cars being built.
Michael Waltrip’s 160,000-sq ft headquarters (also known as Raceworld USA) are located inside an old theatre that has been completely redesigned. The shop contains one last theatre room where 135 people can sit and watch videos on a giant screen and where press conferences are staged.

“There are two machine shops working on two shifts, from 6 am to 3 pm, and then 3 pm to 11 pm,” explained Chris ‘Sid’ Sadlowski who works at the marketing department of MWR and who was our guide.
