The service has been scheduled for Calvary Church in Charlotte, N.C., at noon ET.

Through a NASCAR release, it was announced that the service would not be open to the public.

"Because it is impossible to accommodate the tremendous outpouring of support from those who followed Dale, we are unable to open the service to the public," the statement read. "With that in mind, the family has chosen to broadcast the service live on television, enabling fans across the country to share in this service for Dale."

The service will be broadcast live on Fox Sports Net.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that Earnhardt's body was flown back to North Carolina on Monday night and taken to Ramer Funeral Home in Huntersville. A man answering the phone at the funeral home refused to comment.

Winston Cup teams return to action Saturday with qualifying for Sunday's Dura-Lube 400 at North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham.

Meanwhile, in Earnhardt's birthplace of Kannapolis, the city is planning a memorial service on Sunday at A.L. Brown High School.

"With this service, we hope to celebrate and remember the life of our native son," mayor Ray Moss told the Charlotte Observer.

And Lowe's Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway said they would donate all proceeds from the sale of Earnhardt merchandise to Speedway Children's Charities, which distributes money to about 40 local groups.
