Abstract:
What do all the words in the title have in common? They are official state symbols. Pierce relates how a grassroots movement by Lake Norman Elementary School in Mooresville resulted in the NC General Assembly passing and Governor Beverly Perdue signing a law making stock car racing a state symbol. Why? Many sports played in the state originated elsewhere, but stock car racing has the deepest historical connection to the sport than any other state.
