Dale Trail banners before they were taken down
It’s been almost a month since the Dale Trail™ banners came down, and officials are working diligently to breathe new life into the iconic trail. Cabarrus County Convention & Visitors Bureaustaff members are meeting with the city of Kannapolis and other area leaders to begin the process of replacing the banners with historical markers. And, in a wonderful twist of fate that Dale himself would have probably appreciated, the media frenzy that ensued after the banners came down resulted in nearly a million dollars in free publicity for the Dale Trail.
It is unclear at this time when those markers will be in place, but officials are optimistic. In addition, other exciting enhancements being considered are: an interactive GPS unit, and a DVD narrated by NASCAR celebrities. Requests for the Dale Trail banners have flooded the CVB, and we have a waiting list in place. Requests have also been received from the Earnhardt family. The CVB is working with both family and fans to fulfill those requests as quickly as possible.
