Local Environmental Conditions
Given its setting — a 1.5-mile NASCAR superspeedway with surrounding open acreage — Charlotte Motor Speedway's pollen exposure lines up with the broader Concord pattern rather than diverging from it. As with most sublevel sites, local landscaping can shift counts slightly from the citywide average.
Like the rest of Concord, Charlotte Motor Speedway experiences a season that opens with cedar and elm from February then oak follows, running through March and April. Grass follows, peaking through April and May, while ragweed extends the weed season into September. Mild winters across the Southeast push the pollen calendar earlier than in most of the country throughout the year.

Does pollen in Concord come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Concord based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Concord, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
