In 1989 Bahari Racing moved into this massive all new race shop as the FIRST in the now famous Lakeside Park in Mooresville, NC. Back then most NASCAR Winston Cup teams were working out of relatively standard service station sized garages and some had larger steel buildings. This place was all new in the sense it had a fan lobby with viewing windows for the main assembly and fab shop. This had never been done before and since became common practice with high level NASCAR race teams. Michael Waltrip spent many years racing out of this building. Later came Johnny Benson and Derrike Cope with Bahari. Eel River Racing used this shop for a bit, then later Ed Rensi rented it with drivers like David Donohue and Bobby Hamilton Jr. Today Kelvin Locklear and his wife run K&L Collision inside these legendary walls.
