Concord Field Trips to Charlotte Motor Speedway and Local STEM Destinations
Moving your class to a destination right in Concord doesn't mean the logistics are simple—and that's exactly where a field trip bus makes the difference! Charlotte Motor Speedway (5555 Concord Pkwy S, Concord, NC 28027) offers STEM-focused educational tours and behind-the-scenes experiences that connect directly to physics, engineering, and history curricula. Charter buses use Entrance P off Morehead Rd, and group access is coordinated through the speedway's group sales team at (704) 455-3200.
One bus keeps every student accounted for from school pickup through the return drop-off, and nobody's parent has to navigate Speedway Blvd on a busy event day. Students and teachers unload at their assigned street, then your bus parks in Lot S at 6512 Bruton Smith Blvd, with access from Bruton Smith Blvd; the Charlotte Motor Speedway bus parking map keeps the drop-off and bus parking points clear. For environmental science groups, Frank Liske Park offers nature trails and outdoor education with ample bus parking in the main lot.

Charlotte Science and History Field Trips From Concord Schools
These are the destinations Cabarrus County teachers come back to year after year—and for good reason!

Charter bus drop-off is on 6th Street in front of the museum's main entrance at 168 W 6th Street, with buses parking off site at Bojangles Coliseum. After your visit, the bus picks students up at the rear of the museum, keeping the return boarding point separate from the morning drop-off; the Discovery Place Science field-trip guide gives the bus drop-off, parking, and pickup sequence.

Any trip that coincides with a NASCAR race weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway (the Coca-Cola 600 in May or the Bank of America ROVAL 400 in October) should be booked even earlier, as regional bus demand spikes significantly on those weekends.
The sooner you book, the more vehicle options you'll have at the best price!

For full-grade trips to Charlotte destinations like Discovery Place Science or the NASCAR Hall of Fame, a 56-passenger charter bus keeps everyone together with overhead storage for backpacks and lunch bags.
