All these years later the black #3 is still the coolest looking car to ever grace NASCAR.
Was nice looking kinda reminds me of Gran National. car. Will always be my favorite
Facts
Coolest car and douchiest driver, must be nice to be born into money rather then having to work for it and borrow like Dale did . Really wish the number and paint scheme got retired
You forgot the mopar aero cars in 1968-1970
That look on that car is what made a fan out of a 9 yr old me.
This makes me miss Dale even more! 😔
Never to be forgotten.🏩
Same
Forever the man, forever a fan. We'll never forget Dale.
You can tell his love and respect for his best friend, Dale Earnhardt.
True, but he also let his grandson use Dale's #3
The 3 was Richards number.
Not enough to retire that style 3 like you would a jersey in the NFL
If Dale was still here, I'd like to think he would be giving this tour along with Richard. RIP Dale
RCR museum is so cool. I'd love to see it in person.
One of the best tours to see.
I did like 17 yrs ago. Freaking awesome
I actually got to walk around the R.C.R museum and it's really cool
"Imagine me trying to convince Dale Earnhardt to drive this... Lets wander over here!"
Lmao 🤣
I don't know- one of Dale's first dirt race cars was pink.
@@suestaley844 wait wot
It’s documented he hated that car
I feel like Dale took one look at that rainbow colored car and thought “Gordon is never going to let me hear the end of this”.
Richard has aged really well
Agreed!
Lmao it's plastic surgery
@@sgtpepper6379 Lookin' like Wayne Newton. lol
Its called a facelift
I was thinking the same thing!!!!
This has to be my favorite garage tour so far. This was really, a candid look at RCR in the past and also NASCAR as well, as both entities were virtually unrecognizable from their current forms today. I loved seeing these things in high-quality unseen anywhere else, even the classic Dale cars. They popped. The old shop looks just fantastic too. I really want to be able to see this place in-person. I'd be staring at everything for hours if I had the chance lmao
@Two Black Labs Ooh that sounds even better. Unfortunately I live in SoCal but if I ever find myself in a position to head there I'd do it. Hopefully one of these days that happens.
This was literally the shittiest, fastest, least cared about tour of a mans private museum I have ever seen....
I visit RCR every year in Feb to pay tribute to Dale and relive the history I grew up watching since I was a little guy from the early 80's. You can feel a presence there that you have to visit to understand. It's hard to believe it's been 20 years.
Where is this place
Its at RCR in Welcome, NC just outside of Lexington.
That's got to be tough to walk through there without Dale around. Richard and Dale were so close because they both were racers and knew what each other wanted in racing. I'm glad Richard was able to do this tour because I'm sure that there are moments where misses Dale. But I'm sure having those cars around helps with the healing process as Dale Earnhardt drove those cars and its like having him there.
I know it's not possible, but I so wish Goodwrench could still be a sponsor.
I miss GM Goodwrench
Rip GM goodwrench
I always wonder, how this Goodwrench paint scheme would look on pontiac, oldsmobile or buick.
@@loutenant9480 look up Mike Eddy GM Goodwrench 88 Pontiac. Eddy was sponsored by goodwrench in the ASA and ran same paint as big E
Too bad it went out of business in 2011 or so
Never got tired watching black GM Goodwrench #3!
I’m in the process of moving digging through all my Earnhardt stuff, witch I have a lot, been throwing in Race,s everyday here I’m fricking miss my Man, Racing ain’t the same, I’m sorry, but it’s true, Thanks for the memory,s MR GOODWRENCH !!! 3.....RIP....
The Official Museum of *Dæl*
More like the ONLY museum of DE3 and his legacy. The witch turned the other one into ruin
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. your too kind calling her a witch, just change the w with a B and that will be more like it
@@GretaVanZeppelin1996 might as well spell it you’re..🤷♂️
I have been to the museum and RCR campus several times and find something new every time...Dale was the Man!
As Richard Childress often says: "Only in America!"
Crazy that Austin won the race 20 years after Dale did to the day, and had his own penny in the car. That's pretty sick
Right. I still remember watching AD on fox win the 500. I been a dale sr/jr fan for years and seeing the 3 win it 20 years after dale, its something i wont forget
I remember his win, but I also remember the crash before the finish too.
The fix was obviously in lol sheep
I wish dale was here with us . really sucks 😞i miss that man
He's going over a 1/3rd of whats in there. I spent about 3 hours in there.
That’s so weird that little boy gave a penny to Austin Dillon and he never knew about that little girl that gave a penny to dale Earnhardt Senior it’s crazy
This museum is legendary
Best looking car is the 76 Monte Carlo #3 Richard drove. Just my opinion of course.
You guys are really making the Covid stir crazy worse with all these shop tours... I need to go look at this!
I’m pretty sure they were the only 2 people there and the camera man was probably wearing a mask and they were definitely 6 feet apart
Great tour Richard!!! I’ve been to the original museum back in 94 when Dale was still alive. RCR had a open house, and EVERYONE that works there, was signing autographs, and I got almost ALL of them. I even got Richard’s wife Judy to autograph a picture. I waited 7 hours to get Dale’s autograph, and he gave me a thumbs up, and smile. Most everyone was getting racing memorabilia signed, but I had a copy of Realtree Magazine, with Dale on the cover. He harvested a trophy whitetail at the Sanctuary in Michigan. Bill Jordon signed the back cover next to a picture of his trophy, and said “tell Dale he better sign this, because I said so”. I think that’s why Dale had that big smile on his face, when I told him what Bill said, because next to racing, hunting was his passion. I really want to go to the new museum, especially after watching this video.
Boy I really love to visit RCR, Hendrick and Penske museums one day. The history there ought to be amazing.
Hendrick wasn't worth it. But RCR is 110%
Maybe Mecum Auctions needs to go visit RCR before they authenticate some of the cars they’ve been sending across the block lol
Richard Childress is a class act! Thank you for such great memories.😎
So much history in that museum. Hey NASCAR I think Rick Hendrick should do the next Garage Tour he has some really cool cars in his museum as well.
I agree with you
That's a great idea
Good to see Mr. Childress. His museum is a very special place to visit.
Glad also to see the charitable contributions, as that is representative of giving when you've been blessed with a lot.
Of course, with COVID, we are seeing how important immunity is--and how important the foods we eat, along with our exercise, affects our health. When NASCAR starts to educate people and change the fast food and cola sponsorships, I will be very happy.
Thank you. Blessings.
You’ll Just Never Get It Will Ya
The black 3 car was and still is the baddest looking car. Driven by a bad mofo so I guess it was a perfect match. ♠️
I bet Richard walks thru the museum on a regular basis....
This video made me cry a little. NASCAR died with Dale. I miss my dad, my uncle Hank and Larry Bliss; they all made me a big huge fan of NASCAR and Dale WAS NASCAR. Time, you cruel bastard. God bless Dale
Same here Andy. At 61 years of age I've learned one thing for sure...time heals nothing. God bless you Andy.
Richard, thank you for all you've done. We love you!
That's an awesome collection from Richard Childress. I'm glad I watched Dale Earnhardt raced when I was a kid since 1998. Even though Dale is long gone, but he was my hero to start off with. Plus, RCR is my favorite team too.
Not a fan of NASCAR at all.But Dale is an Icon and for that ..Rest in peace King!!!Richard Petty wtfe!!!
Watched every race that was on TV from mid 80's until that fateful day in 2001. Haven't had the desire to watch a race since. It surprised me that I cried for such a long time over losing Dale. I guess it wasn't until we lost him that I realized he was my hero. RIP
New found respect for RC from this video. So glad he is still around and really hope to get to the shop one day to see these amazing cars
Thank you......still missing Dale and you together. Your loyalty to each other was the envy of the Racing World when Dale had DEI up and going but would only drive that Black 3 Car for RCR. Greatest period in racing.
Rod Osterlund sold his team to JD Stacy half-way through 1981. Dale Earnhardt didn't like his new owner and around the July Talladega weekend Earnhardt made an agreement to run the last 10 races for Childress. But when it was all over with, Childress wasn't ready for Earnhardt. 1982 and 1983, Ricky Rudd drove number 3 and eventually won in 1983. Earnhardt goes back to Childress in 1984 and from that point on, there was no stopping those guys.
I remember the first time I went in that museum when I walked in I got chills like I’ve never got before in my life and never had them again like that
👍🙌
I had chills wen i walked up to Dales ‘98 Daytona car. Id love to visit the museum again
Dale Earnhardt Senior was awesome in four different decades, even in his last full season he finished 2nd in points in 2000. He was the most consistent driver in the toughest era of racing the man was absolutely one of a kind. He was my idol growing up the Intimidator a legend of legends #3 🏁
King Bubba Wallace the Michael Jordan of NASCAR will surpass him one day!
@@JayYo21 Scrubba will be out of cup in a few years
@@lcd2426 his name is King Bubba and now that he has a real team he will take over the sport of NASCAR. Bubba is a top5 talent who will win a championship in the next 2 years.
Was really excited to see the Regular Car Reviews museum.... ....
Haven't heard Ricky Rudd's name in a long time. Miss the old days of Nascar. I've been to this museum and it's worth the trip. RIP Dale! ✌️
That is a lot of Dale
Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Earnhardt Jr lol
The way it should be.👍
The one safe haven for fans everywhere because he left the number to his best friend and not the bitch who ruined his son and employee's numbers, thus allowing Childress to do it his way
I 've been there and it's cool
What an extremely emotional place .. so many memories.
20 years have gone by and still today racing still isn't the same after he passed away
We still and ALWAYS mess you
Dale #3 The Real #3
If anyone's wonder, the death car was scraped and destroyed right after the race (I think)
Nothing would scare a driver more than having that black 3 car in your rear view mirror
Honestly that 01 hauler is my favorite, I can just vision the FOX pre race interviews around it before the 500. My God that is fascinating
Thank You RCR on keeping the memories and the respect of Dale #3 alive and cherished! He was what brought me to nascar
I can image the conversation
Richard:hey dale you wanna get out of you iconic car to drive this acid trip on wheels
Richard, I remember you having your shop on Waughtown Street beside the curb market. We used to aggravate the crap out of you for decals, lol. Man that's a long time ago! You have gone so far since those days. Still ride by the old shop on Gumtree every day back and forth to work. Congrats to you Sir!
This is honestly the content we need. And hearing from our legendary NASCAR owners we love is awesome. So cool to see him so excited about his teams history. Really great video NASCAR and thank you for continuing to be the best fan service 🔥
I still cant believe they put the 3 car back on the track.
@Ernest George no shit.
Jesus Christ... Three 30-second ads by the 7 minute mark.
I might as well watch TV. 😒
I like the clint bowyer #07 car
Cool random story. So I currently live in Welcome, NC, less than a mile from the RCR shops and museum. Way back when I was in third grade in 1997, my mom picked my sister and myself up from school one afternoon, and we just went kind of cruising around, we ended up driving down past the RCR shops for whatever reason. As we were turning around to head back out to the main road, a helicopter appears in the sky. It was flying really low, and looked like it might even be landing. We stopped to watch it land, which it did behind one of the shops, on the other side of a tall barb-wired fence. And guess who steps out of the back once it lands? None other than the Intimidator himself. It was unmistakably him. He just casually walked into the open garage door in back of the shop, and vanished inside. I begged my mom to take us inside the museum to try and see him, but she wouldn't do it.
I love the fact that you have a charity thanks for giving back Richard those are the things to be proud of!
One could even imagine that had Dale not passed away, a literal fleet of #3 Goodwrench Chevrolets would be seen racing even today, perhaps with Dale himself as the team principal, Dale Jr. possibly having inherited the drive and being a championship winner
wow wish i could go and visit your mesium, its insane, i would love to see Dale racing car in person !!!
The one thing left untouched from the wicked witch's tyranny, figuratively and literally (I'm amazed it was left exactly as it was 20 years ago), someday I'll find that museum and visit it as soon as this turbulent ride in the grass is over
She will probably sue Childress for saying his name and having his name on the cars lol
Not exactly, because for starters, Childress was with Earnhardt longer than that bitch ever was, plus she would most likely lose because Dale left the number and his cars to Richard, meaning they're in good hands. Also, isn't it illegal to sue for such a petty reason as saying the name out loud?
Good job Richard, damnit thanks for the tour...
That 87 Monte Carlo was my favorite. Sweet ride.
I was actually there at the museum twice
How was it? :D
Richard Childress I am a big fan of your NASCAR team most because Dale Earnhardt sr. but also Austin Dillon
I Didn’t See The 2001 Oreo Car Hope Its Still There
I can’t stand the dillons, they seem nothing like Richard. Can’t stand that dork driving the 3 car with the same font as dale. Just doesn’t look right.
Does anyone know where this museum is because I am a huge huge Dale Earnhardt fan have been for many years. Would love to go see this museum
RIP The Intimidator :(
RIP GM Goodwrench :(
I hadn't seen Richard since 1975 at Daytona. He was in the Firecracker 400 & I was entered in the Paul Revere 250 IMSA race. I borrowed a gas ⛽ can from him in anticipation of having to refuel our 32 gal tank. Unfortunately I didn't last that long.
It's good to see Richard still out there & apparently still in good health. We had some good times together. Great guy.
Stood next to Richard at a race at Brooklyn Michigan Speedway.. got his autograph as well .. he was really nice ..
20 years ago today. RIP Dale
like to seeing if Dale Earnhardt JR and his sister get them to put into JR own Museum of them dad Dale SR had and them own too, as for some form others too,
Thanks for the tour mr childress. Some great history there. I know your very proud. Especially with Austin a ty coming in the series. Congratulations
It still makes me mad people were ignorant to sign, put gum and all to the inside on the cars above of that hauler from 2001.
Thanks Richard 👍
Bowman Gray Stadium. That's right!
I have been in this museum at least twice, and I would love to see it again. I drive a black s10 truck, that was purchased new from dale Earnhardt Chevrolet.
Fantastic ! 20 years... Still like feels yesterday...
Miss ya ironhead
Poor Richard. Things are still the way they were when they packed up for Daytona in 01. This makes me wanna take a road trip to visit the museum.
Mr. Richard as a fan of RCR i just wished you would not have brought out the #3 i know that was up to you but i can't take nothing away from you as an owner yes Dale will be missed every Daytona we are reminded of his greatness but thank you for letting everybody see just how fond you was of dale not as just a car owner but as his true friend thank you very much Long live the #3
This
I've been here , coolest thing was the flat tire from Daytona in I believe 88 or 89 . The foresight to save that tire is unbelievable!
Nobody should be driving a #3 car but Dale
Thanks RC for preserving your and Dale's legacy. I hope to visit RCR someday
You made Dale proud RIP Dale :(
It was pushing a hundred degrees outside at Kentucky 2013 race. I ran into Richard, he was dressed head to toe in solid black clothes with two body guards. They were cutting between souvenir trailors, the only reason I looked at him was he was dressed in black and it was so hot.
The quick silver is not original the sheet metal has been replaced on the entire car although it still looks awesome as it should .
Interesting about the Peter Max car is that there is supposedly a fire suit to match, but Dale refused to wear it.
I think Dale would have said "I'd look like a damn popsicle! Im not wearing that!"
Looks like a real version of my diecast collection.
Where is the last car he ever used?
The rest if the car when he died..
Rest in peace Dale
One of the coolest experiences I've ever had! So much history packed together in one space.
Awesome Sir. Thanks 🏁
20 years ago today. We miss you Intimidator
If Dale was still alive today, he probably would've been retired, but he probably would've been a big sponsor for NASCAR and he probably would've had 2 or more championships in his title.
Can y'all do a video of Richard Childress telling the story of Dale Earnhardt Sr. buying all the merchandise from the shop and why he did it? I think that's something everyone should hear. Such a heart-warming story of the man, the myth, and the legend.
Absolutely the best Museum
Big museum filled with Dale Earnhardt stuff but people go there for the dead animals... hm
Well, those 2 hunted a lot during their spare time or the offseason, so it was only natural that they add a compendium of the animals they hunted RDR2 style, plus they bonded over said trips. Can't expect all people who visit the museum to be Earnhardt fans, they'd get bored real quickly, so they must have added it as a tourist trap out of the compendium they filled. Also, there are poachers in the US that always attempt to make a quick buck out of some endangered animals, so they might have thought to raise awareness or something, idk, it's just me speculating
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. its the only thing in Welcome NC trust me
I wonder if Richard kept the first Wrangler car he built for Sr when Dale came back in '84......It was that sponsorship that propelled the team into the RCR that we know today, and theres a back story on that as well, as Junior Johnson held that contract and they wanted Dale as their driver, but Junior had a better offer from Budweiser come along, so he took that for DW, and told Childress "you hire Dale back and I'll give you the Wrangler Contract!'"
Im so happy he's been able to keep all these legends
I agree with you
Well, Dale left the number to him, thus being the only thing left untouched by the witch, allowing him to use it as he pleases
I took a self guided tour of this two years ago.Lots of history here.Walking thru the hauler was really special.Chocalate Myers was in his office on air with his radio podcast.Highly recommend this tour.Check out the Childress Winery and gift shop close by.
