Barrett's Floor Covering on
Dixon School Road is adding a
10.000 square feet carpet ware-
house for a remnant sales area.
Walter Stevens, warchouse over-
seer, said that the work on the
building should be completed this
week but it will take several weeks
to stock the area.
Barrett's Floor Covering opened
at the present site 10 years ago
when Jack Barrett purchased the
old Compact School.
The current expansion is
Barrett's third and will feature ad-
ditional space for one of the largest
stocks of carpets, custom-made
rugs. Oriental rugs and floor cover-
ings of all types in the state.
Customers from as far as
Asheville visit the local firm on a
daily basis and as many as 28
crews of installers work out of the
business.
David McFarland and Betty
Hagen work in the sales depart-
‘ment and Barrett's son, Stan,
works in warchouse and heads up
the custom rug department.
~ Stevens, who went to work for
Barrett six years ago, was formerly
Barrett's employer when both
worked for Bost Building
Equipment and Installers in
Charlotte in 1959. Stevens said that
both men fell in love with the
trade, putting in floor tiles and
acoustical ceilings for a number of
years.
Barrett went into business for
himself in 1975 and opened his

won Sunday's Save Mart 300 at the
2.52-mile California road course
with a dominating performance.
- Defending champion Geoff Bodine
was second, followed by Dale
Earnhardt, Wally Dallenbach and
Rusty Wallace.
Driving a special road course car
built by Bob Riley, Irvan captured
his third victory of the 1994 season
for Robert Yates Racing. Starting
from the pole position, he avoided

crew, driver and care were "In the
Zone."
Earnhardt, also with three wins,
beat Irvan out of the pits on lap 15
to lead three laps with the #28
Thunderbird on his rear bumper.
When Ernie powered his way
around Earnhardt in a hairpin
curve, it was clear his was the
strongest car in the race. Irvan in-
creased his Winston Cup point lead
to 40 over Earnhardt, who is sec-
ond.
