MOORESVILLE, N.C. — An entity managed by Teresa Earnhardt, widow of the late NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Sr., is seeking to rezone nearly 400 acres in Mooresville in a bid to spur economic development.
Earnhardt Farms LLC had its rezoning request on the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting of the Mooresville Planning Board. Rezoning for the entity’s 399.3-acre site off Patterson Farm Road is being sought to facilitate a project named Mooresville Technology Park.

The land involved in the rezoning request is around 3 miles from Dale Earnhardt Inc., Earnhardt’s former race team in Mooresville.
