That would be NC 80, and US 221, not to be confused with NC 226. NC 80 & NC 226 are real potential brake burners and knuckle-chewers. 3X on US 221 as your best way out of the mountains. It runs thru Marion NC on a good bypass, with a nice visitor's center / rest area. It's a good 2 lane south from Marion. Staying on 221 to I-85 will keep you from going into the mountains and out again, unlike I-40W.
