Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. Kevin Harvick is working hard to help others in his industry. According to Autoweek, "a 22-year veteran of NASCAR's premier series, Harvick is answering what he calls a need for a leader in the garage. Mentoring young drivers was prevalent in the generation before Harvick because "those guys all communicated and helped each other and knew each other." Harvick pointed to Rusty Wallace as well as Jarrett as the two drivers he could always contact for advice "when I was in trouble." Later, Harvick and Tony Stewart would often compare notes." (Autoweek)
2. According to the Town of Mooresville's Facebook page, "help is available for anyone experiencing a mental or substance use crisis as well as any other emotional distress. You are not alone. Call or text 988 to be connected to trained counselors or chat with one at 988Lifeline.org." (Town of Mooresville NC via Facebook)
3. What is the fate of Josh's Farmers Market in Mooresville? According to WCNC.com, "on Tuesday, the Mooresville Board of Adjustment heard closing arguments and the majority on the Board of Adjustment voted against the decision that would allow Josh's Farmers Market to stay at its temporary location at the Lowe's YMCA on Joe Knox Ave despite the town ordinance. The board also voted to lessen the citation fees to $200. (WCNC.com)
