What comes to mind when you think of speed? Steel, obviously, but also racecars!
The NASCAR Hall of Fame combines both of those things into one jaw-dropping (and IDEAS² Award-winning) building, with a stunning twisted steel ribbon over the main entry plaza that evokes the lights of cars speeding past.
Join your fellow steel fans for an evening of networking at the 2023 Conference Dinner! Get inspired by the clean lines of champion cars, refuel at our food and beverage stations, and enjoy live music instead of the sound of revving engines.
