Kannapolis, NC, a city of 39,000 people just north of Charlotte off I-85, offers fans two opportunities to pay tribute to racing legend and hometown hero Dale Earnhardt, Sr.
To visit Dale Earnhardt Plaza, the home of the 900 pound, nine foot tall statue by sculptor Clyde Ross Morgan, take I-85 to exit 60, Dale Earnhardt Boulevard. Follow Dale Earnhardt Boulevard and the signs for Cannon Village to Main Street. Turn right onto Main Street. Go about a half mile. On the left, you will see Dale Earnhardt Plaza.
The Dale Earnhardt Tribute Center by Sam Bass is a block down from the statue on West Avenue in the Cannon Village Visitor Center.
There is plenty of parking in the area. Cannon Village has unique gift shops, two restaurants and a home furnishings market.

They should name a racetrack or park after DH if they haven't already.
