If a NC State Trooper wrote the speeding ticket in the wrong location, can it be dropped?

I was driving home from work. I went to Wilco/Hess to get some gas about 10:17 left the gas station at 10:28 on Oleander Dr, which is Highway 76. After I left I witness someone gotten pulled over, I wasn't sure if it was a WPD or State Trooper.I was looking at my dash and realize I was going between 45-55mph. So I slowed down. I turned left to head on College Rd, which is US117. I was about 1 or 2 miles away to make a left on my house. I saw someone behind my mirror getting real up close to me, and by the the time I made a left to go on my street, I saw the blue lights flashing at me. I pulled over on my street and the State Trooper said he clocked me going 60mph on Oleander (US 76) and asking me if I was in a big hurry. I said, "no officer, this is my street and left work." So he went back to his vehicle and cited me going 60 mph 45 mph on US 117, when said it happen on US 76 instead. So I notice the ticket has the wrong location. So this my 2nd time after getting my first speeding ticket dropped from July to a non moving violation.What do you think the outcome of getting this dropped? I'm really thinking about challenging this in court and challenging his radar gun. My options are try to get it dropped to a non moving violation and take driving school, take 2 pts to reduce it to 59mph, or use PJC. But, I might challenge the State Trooper instead to get it dropped in person.
