Local metal distributor nearly tripling space as business grows

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Driving by Race City Steel on N.C. Highway 16 in Denver, passersby may think that the company in the brown building is a business-to-business operation that sells only to the numerous racing shops in the Charlotte region.

Wrong, says Damon Lusk, president and co-owner of Race City Steel. He invites local residents to stop by the shop and look at what the Lusk family has created over the last 22 years.

“I’m 100% certain if they walk in the door they will leave with something that will be beneficial to them, whether it’s a piece for a garden, a piece for a truck, a grinding disk, a welder,” Lusk says. “There’s something here for everybody.”

Now, Race City Steel is expanding into a new, larger building to be erected across the street from its current 40,000-square-foot shop. The family will spend about $3.7 million to build the 115,000-square-foot structure and double employment to 60.
