This home is in Randolph County.
The population of RC is just under 143,000. Gently rolling hills, river valleys, and lots of green forest land characterize Randolph County's 790 square miles. It is the 11th largest county in North Carolina and has the 19th highest population in the state.
Although Randolph County is a part of the largest metropolitan area located entirely within North Carolina, it is still small-town living at its best - close enough to larger cities to have access to the amenities, but small enough to escape such urban problems as traffic congestion, higher unemployment, and an increasing crime rate.
Randolph County is home to the North Carolina State Zoological Park, the nation's largest natural-habitat zoo with 500 acres of exhibits and over 1,000 animals. Also located in Randolph County are the Richard Petty Museum, (celebrating NASCAR's all-time career victory leader), the Uwharrie National Forest, The NC Pottery Center and the Seagrove area potteries, which enjoy an international reputation for exceptional hand thrown pottery.
Randolph County is also proud to be the home of Victory Junction, founded by NASCAR's famed Petty family. This facility will provide camping experiences for chronically ill children on a 65-acre site near Randleman

Richard Petty
Richard Lee Petty (born July 2, 1937) nicknamed The King is a former NASCAR driver who raced in the Strictly Stock/Grand National Era and the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. He is most well known for winning the NASCAR Championship seven times (Dale Earnhardt is the only other driver to accomplish this feat), winning a record 200 races during his career, winning the Daytona 500 a record seven times, and winning a record 27 races (ten of them consecutively) in the 1967 season alone. (A 1972 rule change eliminated races under 250 miles (400 km) in length, reducing the schedule to 30 [now 36] races.) Statistically he is the most accomplished driver in the history of the sport and is one of the most respected figures in motorsports as a whole. He also collected a record number of poles (127) and over 700 top-ten finishes in his 1,184 starts, including 513 consecutive starts from 1971--1989. Petty was the only driver to ever win in his 500th race start, until Matt Kenseth joined him in 2013. Petty is a member of the inaugural class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Hall in 2010.
Petty is a second generation driver. His father, Lee Petty, won the first Daytona 500 in 1959 and was also a 3 time NASCAR champion. Richard's son Kyle was also a well-known NASCAR driver. Richard's grandson, Adam, was killed in an accident at New Hampshire International Speedway on May 12, 2000, five weeks after the death of Lee Petty. Adam's brother Austin works on day-to-day operations of the Victory Junction Gang Camp, a Hole in the Wall Gang Camp established by the Pettys after Adam's death. Petty married Lynda Owens (who died on March 25, 2014 at her home in Level Cross, North Carolina after a long battle with cancer, at age 72) in 1958. They had four children: Kyle Petty, Sharon Petty Farlow, Lisa Petty Luck and Rebecca Petty Moffit. The family resides in Petty's home town of Level Cross, North Carolina and operates Richard Petty Motorsports. The Richard Petty Museum was formerly in nearby Randleman, North Carolina but moved back to its original location in March 2014.

while ruining my video idea. Richard Petty Motorsports has offered Hendrick Motorsports and Chase Elliott the #9 for 2016 if they want it. Looks like they will decline the offer.

Overlooking the Cherokee Indian Reservation near the border with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this steel lookout tower replaced a wooden lookout in 1957. Standing 60 ft. tall, this tower can be reached by a two and one half mile trail starting at the Oconaluftee Indian Village in Cherokee, NC. Include a hike to the tower after viewing the outdoor drama “Unto These Hills” and a tour of the recreated Indian Village.
