Promotional Video in Empire Hotel

Promotional video provided by:

NASCAR RaceDay built by the Home Depot on Speed.

When I received a call from Beth Petty in the film office at the Charlotte Regional Partnership, I wondered why NASCAR Media would want to film a promotional video in an our old Empire Hotel. What do old hotels and NASCAR have in common I asked myself. After seeing this footage...well I understand... a great theme for an October race...

I was asked "can we write on the walls?" "Sure" I replied...They obviously looked for and found the worst room in what we hope to return some day back into a grand hotel. The economy has certainly slowed our development process but it has not ended the optimism of redevelopment of this spectacular piece of our history. And while we are waiting opportunities like this are part of what make owning an old hotel interesting.  Maybe someday that room will be where guests talk about the weird NASCAR commercial...
