Kannapolis' Curb Motorsports Museum Combines Sound and Speed

Kannapolis' Curb Motorsports Museum delivers twice the entertainment with a mix of two subjects: motorsports and country music.

The museum represents the two passions of Mike Curb, the museum’s owner. A long-time motorsports enthusiast, Curb is the owner and founder of the leading country music record label in the country.

Over the years, Curb has owned cars driven by NASCAR legends including Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty, Dale Jarrett, Ron Bouchard and Johnny Sauter.

The 20,000-square-foot space showcases NASCAR, Indy and modified race cars Two rare glimpses of NASCAR history are on display: the #2 car Dale Earnhardt drove in his first Winston Cup Championship and the #43 car Richard Petty drove in his 199th Winston Cup win.

Displayed among the auto racing memorabilia are gold record awards, autographed posters from country and pop superstars and tons of photos of recording artists. The museum also houses LeeAnn Rimes’ very first car, a 1995 black Dodge Viper.
