I ask the question because I've been trying to think of what a possible MLS or MLB Charlotte team would be named.

I think it was Taylor Zarzour I heard throw out Charlotte Racers on WFNZ a couple of years back when talking about a possible name for an MLB team. Could look to the state's racing heritage for a name I guess

Edit:

Apparently there is a football team in Nashville with that name
