NC 3 and Dale Earnhardt Blvd., Mooresville to Kannapolis, NC

Once upon a time, the road running from Mooresville to Kannapolis bore the number NC 136. NC 3 was posted on a short dead-end road in extreme northeastern North Carolina, not too far from the Outer Banks. After the death of seven-time NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt, NCDOT reversed those route number designations. Now, NC 3 runs from Mooresville, where Earnhardt built his race team's headquarters, to Kannapolis, Earnhardt's hometown, and NC 136 has been moved to the other route. Part of NC 3 runs across Dale Earnhardt Blvd. in Kannapolis. This video gives a passing glimpse of the Dale Earnhardt, Inc. headquarters and also the "Dale Trail," a marked touring route highlighting places key in Earnhardt's life in yet another way his hometown has paid tribute to its late, great native son.

It's a shame that developers like Kiser etc have ruined the rural aspect of Kannapolis, esp. the Boy Scout Camp Rd area off Mooresville Rd. That place was paradise till "Kellswater Bridge" came in & destroyed it.

More suburban Charlotte than true country...sorry.

Fifty years ago or so, this area was mostly dairy farms and small towns. Now, the City of Charlotte has grown up, and the once small towns of Concord, Kannapolis, Mooresville, and Harrisburg have grown out.
