Ralph Dale Earnhardt (April 29, 1951 – February 18, 2001) was an American professional stock car driver and racing team owner, who raced from 1975 to 2001 in the former NASCAR Winston Cup Series (now called the NASCAR Cup Series), most notably driving the No. 3 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. His aggressive driving style earned him the nicknames "the Intimidator", "the Man in Black" and "Ironhead"; after his son Dale Earnhardt Jr. joined the Cup Series circuit in 1999, Earnhardt was generally known by the retronyms Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Dale Sr. He is regarded as one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history and named as one of the NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers class in 1998.
The third child of racing driver Ralph Earnhardt and Martha Earnhardt, he began his career in 1975 in the World 600. Earnhardt won a total of 76 Winston Cup races over the course of his 26-year career, including four Winston 500s (1990, 1994, 1999, and 2000) and the 1998 Daytona 500. Along with his 76 career points wins, he has also won 24 non-points exhibition events, bringing his overall Winston Cup win total to 100, one of only four drivers in NASCAR history to do so. He is the only driver in NASCAR history to score at least one win in four different and consecutive decades (scoring his first career win in 1979, 38 wins in the 1980s, 35 wins in the 1990s, & scoring his final two career wins in 2000). He also earned seven Winston Cup championships, a record held with Richard Petty and Jimmie Johnson.
On February 18, 2001, Earnhardt died in a sudden last-lap crash during the Daytona 500 due to a basilar skull fracture. His death was regarded in the racing industry as being a crucial moment in improving safety in all aspects of car racing, especially NASCAR. He was 49 years old. Earnhardt has been inducted into numerous halls of fame, including the NASCAR Hall of Fame inaugural class in 2010.

Lewis Clarke Collection 1944-2006
The Lewis Clarke Collection, 1944 to 2006, documents the professional work of Lewis Clarke and his firm Lewis Clarke Associates as well as Clarke's time as a North Carolina State University School of Design faculty member from 1952 to 1968. The collection is arranged into eight series: project files, drawings, professional papers, faculty papers, personal papers, office files, project booklets, and photographic materials. The collection consists primarily of landscape architectural drawings and project files. The projects include residences, primary and secondary schools, community colleges, university campuses, regional hospitals, shopping centers, residential resort projects, and pedestrian malls. The drawings and project files represent projects located primarily, but not exclusively, throughout the southeast. Lewis James Clarke was born in Carlton, Nottingham, England on 10 March 1927. He earned his Master's in Architecture at the University of Leicester, Master's in Landscape Design from Kings College at the University of Durham, and a Fulbright Scholarship and a Smith-Mundt Award to attend Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design to earn a Master's in Landscape Architecture in 1952. Clarke taught as an associate professor at the North Carolina State College School of Design (SOD), from 1952 to 1968. He operated his landscape architecture firm, Lewis Clarke Associates, from 1968 to 1993, where he worked on projects such as community colleges in North Carolina and Virginia, residential resort master planning, and prototype enclosed mall projects. He created the original master plan for the Research Triangle Institute; Saint Andrews College, Laurinburg, North Carolina; and the North Carolina Zoological Park in Asheboro. His signature works include Palmetto Dunes, Hilton Head Island; Carolina Trace, Sanford, North Carolina; and Ford’s Colony, Williamsburg, Virginia.
