Dale Earnhardt's 1994 Newell Coach: His Former Racetrack Home Turned Museum Exhibit!

Dale Earnhardt had three different Newell Motorcoaches during his career. This one on display at the IMHOF is a 1994 model (built in 93) was his first of the three Detroit Series 60 powered rigs. His second Newell was a 1997 which you may have seen on the channel before. The third and final one was a 1999 which still resides at DEI today. Newell Coach is the premier manufacturer of custom built luxury motor coaches based in Oklahoma. Every unit is made to order and custom configured by the owner. In the case of this stellar rig here with an absolutely gorgeous paint scheme....it packs a punch with some serious 90s style inside you will just have to see for yourself! If you find these rigs fascinating you can check out the "Newell Stuff" playlist for more! We actually have a 1996 Newell originally built for Al Unser Jr and later owned by Robby Gordon. Every Newell has a unique history!

Ive started looking at them some, im about ready to just buy one of those to use to haul my bagged truck around to shows

Please!!

[@gcrauwels941]

Yes! Those land yachts are beautiful. I used to work on a lot of generators and some engines on those things. I appreciate all the content you two put out. You've interviewed some legends and even educated an older brother like me through these videos.. Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas.

Love the Newell vids

[@fordenginebuildersv8power184]

My first experience with Dale was at Michigan in the late 70’s when I was leaning on the door frame at the garage where we had dropped off a set of connecting rods to Junior Johnson! I spotted this woman about 25 feet away and could not take my eyes off her, when Dale comes by and sees me looking this woman over! He got that shit eating grin on his face and asked me what you lookin at! Just smiling away! I nodded at her and he says you know her, I said no but I’d like too! He calls her by name, Linda I about died cuz I knew what he was gonna do! Lol she comes over and introduces us! We spent the next two weeks together and were married 4 months later! He was a friend ever since! I miss his genuine personality and his country wit! When he died a piece of me died also! Thank you to the two of you for another kick ass video!

[@Deltaexe190]

thats awesome!

[@rambolegion9112]

I remember watching the race when he the crash when I was 4 some how I remember it to this day I remember my dad told me when I was older that I was devastated when he told me I couldn’t watch my favorite driver race any more

[@taurusmonkey8780]

How can you walk past an Aero Coupe and not even comment? Logan, smack him.

[@Stapleton42]

The rest of the museum is covered in it’s own video

[@noahsathletics]

I have a bad experience with Dale at Sears point as a kid in early 90s, I dropped my sharpie while trying to get an autograph from him and he got mad and let’s say I didn’t get my autograph as a kid. I just figured he had a bad day, and caught him at a bad time. I never dropped another sharpie when asking for autographs, he taught me a lesson I never forgot.

[@antoniestrada1972]

I don't think that's a lesson I just think you had a bad experience with him

Thanks for documenting the Winston era. It was the most important and pivotal part of NASCAR history.

[@jbs454]

Great video just think of all those ex racers motor homes and trailer/haulers/race cars that are out there.

[@colebertils7359]

I’m geeking out over this stuff right along with you. To some, it’s just some old bus. But to those of us who watched nascar in the 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s it’s nerd heaven. Taking us along on these history tours is awesome! Please keep it up!

[@rolokyber]

Hey Mitchell, as always thank you for the history you bring us in a lot of your VLOGS. It’s never boring when you are comparing sinks. What I’m really waiting for is when you get back to drag racing.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks David we’d love to have it

[@adamdozier5757]

I stopped watching when Dale died. Have not cared about it since. But, when I see new videos about Dale I watch them. I'm a new subscriber! I lost it when Dale died along with everyone else I'm sure. One of the saddest days of my life and I never got to meet him in person. That's how powerful he was.

[@theotherbrent]

That 60 has more power than the 92 but no other engine has that sound. Even better is a boat with twin 92s. Just go in the engine room and lay down in between them. Somehow there's peace there in between two 92s turning all they can. Screaming like they shoulda been there before yesterday and may fly apart at any second.

[@MichaelS-kg9ci]

I’ve been inside so many times and it will always be cool to me. As someone who didn’t grow up to see Dale race, I was only a few months old when he died, seeing stuff like this still amazes me.

[@floorsinbower8612]

I'd say we got matching personalities. I was born in 98 so I was a month away from turning 2 when Dale died. But when I was able to watch all of his old races and home videos and stuff learned 98 was his only Daytona win, I instantly and ever since felt a connection with him and anyone associated with him

[@mikebeddingfield2144]

I had a daughter the December before and named her Bristol Sonoma after his first win and only road course win and she was in her car seat in front of the t.v for her first race when it happened. I'll never forget that day!

[@kendogg41]

I have a '94 Newell thats very similar. Does anybody happen to know the MSRP of this coach?

[@gac914]

I don't know. . . I'm sure there's a few out there that would get rather violent over a Buick. . . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another awesome NASCAR history video for my Saturday. I usually make it out to North Carolina every couple years. Last time we took a day to visit the RCR museum, Kaulig Racing, the Earnhardt memorial in Kannapolis and Junior Motorsports. Next time I'd like to come find you guys. Thanks again.

[@Stapleton42]

thanks man. we actually are not open to the public so if people do show up they're asked to leave. Usually by the owner of our building. He does not like visitors lol.

Seen you walking around at PRI, wanted to come say hi to you and Logan but was busy chatting it up. Keep up the good videos man!

[@marks8068]

This one is pretty nicely preserved, but am I wrong by saying its kind of anonymous looking especially on the inside? Its hard to tell it belonged to the most famous Nascar driver ever, it could just as well been some rich bobo`s holiday getaway cruiser. The way your Newell was done by Robby G, or that one Dale Jr used to have that you showed at the factory are way wilder, way more "rockstar-ish" Mmm come to think of it: are there even crazier/wilder Newells out there to do a walkaround on? (maybe ask your friends at the factory?)

[@Stapleton42]

Great point. These Newells definitely got more extravagant as the 90s went on and moreso once 2000 rolled around. You may see Mike Wallace's Newell soon!

[@kman3974]
