We’re honored to kick off our brand-new “Mill People Series” with a very special guest — 90-year-old lifelong Kannapolis resident Bobby Eagle.

In this debut episode, Bobby takes us back to the heart of the textile era, sharing vivid memories and personal reflections from his life in Kannapolis. This series is dedicated to preserving the stories, traditions, and spirit of the people who gave life to our mill town.

A heartfelt thank you to Eric Dearmon and the Kannapolis Ambassadors for inspiring us to celebrate our shared heritage and helping bring the stories of our beloved “Mill People” to light.

Sam Mayer & Dale Earnhardt’s #41 K-2 Tribute Car | Jonny Cannon & CARDIACS Sports & Memorabilia Ep80

Jonny Cannon of CARDIACS Sports & Memorabilia is helping bring a piece of Kannapolis racing history back to Charlotte Motor Speedway. In this special trackside episode of K-Town Connection, Sam Mayer’s No. 41 Haas Factory Team Chevrolet wears pink in tribute to K-2, the car Dale Earnhardt drove early in his NASCAR career, with the Dayvault Tune-Up & Brake Service name on its side. RoughTalkCousins Chris Hughes and Ryan Dayvault walk through the garage, watch the car head toward inspection, and share why this tribute means so much to the Cannon and Dayvault families. It’s a proud connection between Kannapolis, the Earnhardt legacy, and a new generation of racing. David Steele and Chuck Irvin will rejoin the team when K-Town Connection returns to the studio for its fall season premiere. Recorded at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Hosts: Chris Hughes and Ryan Dayvault Do you remember the original pink K-2 car or Dale Earnhardt’s Kannapolis roots? Share your story in the comments, and subscribe for more K-Town connections.
