Victory Lane Indoor Karting Center is a family entertainment center located between I-85 and I-77 in Charlotte, NC. Built in 2000, as a simple single oval court. It was bought in 2007 by a family consisting of Ed Bradshaw and son-in-law Fred Ogrim. Since its buying, it has since expanded to include two tactical tracks, a bar and grill (Pit Road Bar and Grill), arcade, escape rooms, Virtual reality, and axe throwing.
The logo itself was created in 1999 by Sam Bass, who was NASCAR's first officially licensed artist. Sam passed away in February 16th, 2019, from kidney disease. Since its creation, the logo has stayed mostly the same. With alterations done to add location, and attractions to growing business. Ther e has been altercations as well to change it for seasonal purposes, but there has been no want or need to change the overall logo.
Today, it has been featured on Dinners, Drive ins, and Dives, and 90-day fiancé. In 2019 it hosted the Indoor Go Kart World Championship, and it's recognized as the oldest indoor go kart track in the United States.
