to 1986, when Dale Earnhardt made his mark at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Behind the wheel of the No. 3 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, Earnhardt won both NASCAR Winston Cup Series races at Charlotte that season. On May 25, he captured the Coca-Cola 600, taking the lead late in the race to secure the victory. On Oct. 5, he returned to Victory Lane in the Oakwood Homes 500, completing a sweep of Charlotte’s two Cup Series points-paying races that year.

Those victories were part of a championship-winning season for Earnhardt. He recorded five wins, 16 top-five finishes and 23 top-10 finishes across 29 races, securing his second consecutive NASCAR Winston Cup Series championship after winning his first with Richard Childress Racing in 1985.

Today on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the original stewards of the lands and waters we work to protect.

The region we now care for encompasses the traditional homelands of the Cherokee people. To acknowledge this heritage and support ongoing connection to these lands, Conserving Carolina created the Tohi Land Tribute program in partnership with The Center for Native Health and the Cherokee Preservation Foundation.

Through this initiative, landowners, businesses, and organizations, and individuals can contribute directly to the Eastern Band of Cherokee to support cultural preservation, education, health, and stewardship.

To learn more about the Tohi Land Tribute and how you can participate, visit our website: https://conservingcarolina.org/land-tribute
