Built in Charlotte · In public · Since May 2026
A program, not a moment.
Queen City Garage is a Charlotte stock car development program. We are certifying an engine, producing a weekly NASCAR show, and filling rooms with race fans, and we write every step down here as it happens, including the ones that go wrong.
A next-generation 5.7L Hemi, tested and certified for grassroots stock car racing.
The Grand National Show, O'Reilly Series and Truck Series editions.
Every step, in the order it happened, including the ones that went wrong.
Built in Charlotte, in public, since May 2026.
One meeting
The team had one meeting about the NASCAR Sundays T-shirt: the one where they decided to make it. Everything after that just happened, 76 minutes from the email…
We took our driver pages down
Grand National Today had a written profile for dozens of drivers. They weren't good enough, so they're gone until we can do one right.
Nobody finds us through the news
We checked what search shows strangers from Grand National Today. It wasn't one of our race stories. It was the track guides.
Could we make this show without AI?
How We Make the Show, No. 14. An honest ledger: what the machine does, what the people do.
Checking our own copy proved nothing
How We Make the Show, No. 13. A sync check is only as good as what it compares against.
The clip sounded worse than the show
How We Make the Show, No. 12. Raw camera audio, twelve decibels of noise, and the fix.
