Working at North Wilkesboro Speedway: Where would you stay and what shouldn’t I miss?
Hi everyone! I’d love some local advice.
I’m working an event at North Wilkesboro Speedway in July and will need to be at the speedway each day. Since lodging nearby is pretty limited, it looks like I’ll be staying about 45 minutes away regardless of which direction I go.
I’m less interested in finding the closest hotel and more interested in finding the best, memorable home base for the weekend.
I will have a little free time the day before and after work, so I’m looking for somewhere with a great atmosphere; whether that’s a charming mountain town, good restaurants and coffee shops, scenic drives, or a place that’s simply enjoyable to spend time.
I’ve looked at places around Boone, Blowing Rock, West Jefferson, Lenoir, Cajah’s Mountain, and even Winston-Salem, but I don’t know the area well enough to know what I’d actually enjoy most.
If you were me:
● Where would you stay?
● Why that town over the others?
● And what would you make sure not to miss while I was there?
Thanks! I’d love to hear what the locals would do.
