SCIENCE, SPEED, SINGERS AND MORE
One of the most notable places in Kannapolis is the North Carolina Research Campus—a 350-acre, public-private research institute bringing together corporations, healthcare organizations, and eight different universities that focus on food, nutrition and biotech research. The campus has also served as an economic revitalization project in the heart of downtown Kannapolis.
Hotels in Kannapolis keep racing fans close to all the they can handle. In addition to all things Earnhardt, the Stewart-Haas Racing headquarters is also located in Kannapolis. During the week fans can visit the race shop and souvenir store, featuring the careers of drivers Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick and Danica Patrick. For those seeking a slightly quieter sport, Kannapolis is also home to Class-A baseball action, with a 4,700-seat facility built in 1995.
Kannapolis has plenty of arts and entertainment to offer as well. It’s home to The North Carolina Music Hall of Fame—which honors legendary performers including George Clinton, John Coltrane, Donna Fargo, Earl Scruggs, Kate Smith and James Taylor—as well as the Curb Museum for Music and Motorsports, showcasing songwriter/producer/record company owner Mike Curb’s vast collection of music and racing memorabilia. For a bit of cinematic history, the Gem Theatre is a first-run, single-screen movie theater that’s been open since 1936.
