My parents are in town this week and we have been out exploring, today we went to The Penske race shop to take a look at what they are doing there. Penske Racing's state-of-the-art facility in Mooresville, was constructed for performance. Equipped with the first-class, corporate sheen indicative of Penske Corporation, the two buildings totaling 424,697 square feet are nestled on 105 acres. Penske's three NASCAR teams – two NEXTEL Cup and one Busch - occupy 240,781 square feet – 8 acres - of the complex. Watch the crews prepare for upcoming NASCAR races from a 330-foot fan walk. One million pounds of Italian floor tile – 250,000 pieces – provide the flooring in the administrative and NASCAR shop areas, while more than 1,000 linear feet of Kodak graphics give a special glimpse into the team's history. The Indy Car and ALMS teams occupy 55,843 square feet. They share a 3,811-square-foot administrative area, a 16,903-square-foot transporter area and a 6,857-square-foot support area. The Indy Car shop and engineering have a 14,089-square-foot home, while 14,183 square feet is dedicated to the ALMS shop and engineering.
