The oldest son of NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt has joined local opposition to the proposed development of a $30 billion data center on Earnhardt’s land in Mooresville, N.C. Teresa Earnhardt, the widow of the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, is seeking approval from the Mooresville Board of Commissioners to rezone 400 acres of the Earnhardt estate as industrial land, which would then be developed as a data center by Denver-based Tract.
Kerry Earnhardt, a former NASCAR driver and the oldest son of The Intimidator, issued a public statement on his social media channels ahead of a community meeting, urging the board to vote ‘no’ on the redevelopment. The elder Earnhardt, who was killed in a crash on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, was an avid outdoorsman during his lifetime and was known to enjoy farming, hunting and fishing.
“Dad would be livid, his name is associated in this title!” Earnhardt wrote. “Data Centers don’t belong in neighborhoods… natural resources are depleted, wildlife uprooted! The landscape, lives that call this home… forever changed. Build homes [with] people loving the land we live as land it’s intended!”
According to NBC News, while the Mooresville Board of Commissioners is scheduled to vote on the rezoning after a public hearing in September, some doubt was cast on the project by Mayor Chris Carney, who suggested he and other members of the board were concerned about Tract not having said which company would ultimately use the data center.
“No matter what, you can only trust if you know who your final partner is going to be,” Carney told NBC News. “And we just don’t know that.”
Teresa Earnhardt, whose business acumen was essential to Dale Earnhardt’s merchandising empire and other affairs during his lifetime, has repeatedly feuded with her adult stepchildren in the years that have followed her husband’s death over matters concering the Earnhardt name, image and likeness. A decade ago, for instance, Teresa sued Kerry Earnhardt on grounds that his “Earnhardt Collection” home and furniture line violated her trademark rights. Kerry ultimately won the case after it was ruled that a surname cannot be trademarked.
Kerry, 55, is the oldest son of Dale Earnhardt from his first marriage to Latane Brown and the half-brother of NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt’s racing career included seven Cup Series starts and four wins in the ARCA Menards Series, and his son Jeffrey now races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

Match of the Day review: Same product, slightly different appearance, but it just felt right
The last time that Match of the Day had a new permanent presenter, Oasis were one of the biggest bands in the country, baggy jeans were fashionable, Arsenal had just finished runners-up in the Premier League and Sunderland were back in the top flight.So, as Mark Chapman will say later, the more things change, the more things stay the same. For 1999 and Gary Lineker, read 2025 and Chapman, Gabby Logan and Kelly Cates, a trio of new presenters who, appropriately for the modern game, will adopt a squad rotation system on hosting duties for Match of the Day’s Saturday and Sunday shows (the MOTD 2 name has been dropped).AdvertisementLineker’s departure after 26 years as presenter gave the BBC an ideal opportunity, if they wished, to revamp the country’s longest-running football show.So what did we get from this exciting first […]

NFL Preseason Week 2 Game Recap: Denver Broncos 27, Arizona Cardinals 7
The Denver Broncos sprinted at a breakneck pace, while the Arizona Cardinals merely jogged. Denver went 97 yards in just over 2 minutes on the team's first offensive drive, opening the scoring in a first-half offensive downpour. The Cardinals responded with a 7-minute touchdown series, but it turned out to be far too little to match the Broncos' high-flying offense. Jarrett Stidham and company also engineered a sub-2-minute, 88-yard touchdown drive later in the half via chunk gains from Troy Franklin and a defensive pass interference penalty. In the end, Denver prevailed by a 27-7 score and racked up 15 plays of 15 or more yards to Arizona's two. PFF's dedicated team of graders was hard at work, analyzing every player on every play in real time. The comprehensive grades and data will be available after a thorough review tomorrow […]
Dodgers step back, let Padres run themselves out of series, NL West lead
LOS ANGELES — There are no secrets between Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres. They leaned on him as they toppled the Los Angeles Dodgers in their most significant postseason series in decades. They got him at his best. His three years there included his second Cy Young campaign before he left to tour with their California-based division mates.Advertisement“They know me so well,” Snell said. “So they understand what the game’s going to be.”With Snell donning a Dodgers uniform against the Padres for the first time, they knew to push the envelope.Take Snell’s 2023 Cy Young campaign, when the left-hander allowed base runners close to free rein. Twenty-five stolen bases were taken while Snell was on the mound, and only one of them was thrown out successfully. It was a rare weakness worth exploiting — if you could do […]
