The cost of the NASCAR Hall of Fame escalated by $2.5 million this week. The Charlotte City Council voted 9-2 to add a basement to the $154.5 million complex at Stonewall and Caldwell streets after officials said it would be cheaper to add space now than in the future. Construction crews preparing the site recently discovered less rock in the soil than they had expected. That makes it easier to build a lower floor that can be used for future operations or more exhibits, Assistant City Manager Jim Schumacher said.
