Icy roads spare no one from the chance of a crash — not even NASCAR drivers. That’s something Dale Earnhardt Jr. learned the hard way during Wednesday’s snowstorm. The NASCAR legend and Kannapolis native tweeted in the afternoon he collided with a tree. The collision happened just minutes after Earnhardt helped a family trying to drive through a snow-covered road. (Charlotte Observer)
