Teresa Earnhardt continues to find more reasons to pick fights with her stepchildren. This time, it is a dispute over property.

For many months now, there have been debates about what will happen with Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s massive 399-acre plot in North Carolina. Teresa wants to build a data center on it. She has submitted a request to rezone the farmland to build a $30 billion industrial complex called the Mooresville Technology Park.
The approval, if the proposal is accepted, will be granted by the Mooresville Board of Commissioners on September 15. However, Kerry Earnhardt (Dale Sr.’s oldest son) has vehemently opposed the move. And he couldn’t wait until then to let his thoughts be known to the world.
“Dad would be livid, his name is associated in this title! Data Centers don’t belong in neighborhoods, natural resources are depleted, [and] wildlife [is] uprooted! The landscape [and], lives that call this home, forever changed. Build homes with people loving the land we live [on] as land it’s intended,” wrote Kerry on X.
Fans are backing Kerry and want Dale Earnhardt Jr. to back his brother because it will help uphold what Dale Sr. would have wanted.

Dale Sr. loved the outdoors. To have a building at a spot that is teeming with wildlife isn’t something he would have appreciated. But then, there is a sensible counter-argument presented by Teresa and Co.
According to them, the data center will create millions of dollars in tax revenue and generate several jobs for the locals. That is a noble cause, if nothing else.
This is not the first time Teresa has acted against the interests of her stepchildren. She needlessly held the rights to the No. 8 car number in NASCAR for years before Junior finally received custody of it.
Teresa also filed a lawsuit against Kerry for creating a lifestyle brand named The Earnhardt Collection. This is the latest episode of their family tussle.
NASCAR fans urge Junior to back his brother
One fan wrote, “@DaleJr I think you should back your brother here.” Another added, “I’m thinking that if @DaleJr came out against this, it’d help keep it from passing, but that’s just my opinion.”
The neighbors in the area have already expressed their opposition to the project in a strong manner. Junior’s voice could bolster their stance further.
One comment described the importance of Junior’s presence in this fight. “Dale Jr. is the financially strongest of the siblings, and I’m pretty sure if push comes to shove, he will damn well make a stand with Kerry & Kelly all together, ultimately it’s their Dad’s property which is at stake here… I’m so sick of Teresa being this money witch,” wrote a fan.
Another fan added, “It’s bad that the only time you hear of Teresa is when it involves money and lawsuits. I don’t blame Kerry for being fed up.”
Dale Sr.’s legacy may be far greater than any one decision. But this move risks casting a shadow on parts of it. So the chances of Junior not expressing an opinion or taking a stance on the matter are extremely low.
