All these years later the black #3 is still the coolest looking car to ever grace NASCAR.

[@richardbarr6814]

Was nice looking kinda reminds me of Gran National. car. Will always be my favorite

[@ricandro1354]

Facts

[@Im2gd4ux]

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

[@Leatherface123.]

You forgot the mopar aero cars in 1968-1970

[@VicRattlehead1980]

That look on that car is what made a fan out of a 9 yr old me.

[@seangoodman665]

You can tell his love and respect for his best friend, Dale Earnhardt.

[@theblakex]

True, but he also let his grandson use Dale's #3

[@adamhull6732]

The 3 was Richards number.

[@aztecwrrior1997]

Not enough to retire that style 3 like you would a jersey in the NFL

[@thisiselvis]

This makes me miss Dale even more! 😔

[@janeburrell7903]

Never to be forgotten.🏩

[@cvblaylock]

Same

[@joeshelton1077]

Forever the man, forever a fan. We'll never forget Dale.

[@GretaVanZeppelin1996]

If Dale was still here, I'd like to think he would be giving this tour along with Richard. RIP Dale

[@FlakMonky20k]

RCR museum is so cool. I'd love to see it in person.

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

One of the best tours to see.

[@adamhull6732]

I did like 17 yrs ago. Freaking awesome

[@RyanSoit]

I actually got to walk around the R.C.R museum and it's really cool

[@KahunasGarage]

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.

[@vannorman1116]

Where is this place

[@KahunasGarage]

Its at RCR in Welcome, NC just outside of Lexington.

[@zul_oficial]

Never got tired watching black GM Goodwrench #3!

[@sammyweed4771]

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....

[@evanwilliams6406]

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.

[@TheNASCARJeff]

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!"

[@chesterswingjr9796]

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.

[@SeniorWhoopyIRL]

This museum is legendary

[@charlespetersonjr1994]

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.

[@srvfan25]

I agree with you

[@joeshelton1077]

That's a great idea

[@nascarnational]

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

[@nascarnational]

@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.

[@billyb7561]

This was literally the shittiest, fastest, least cared about tour of a mans private museum I have ever seen....

"Imagine me trying to convince Dale Earnhardt to drive this... Lets wander over here!"

I don't know- one of Dale's first dirt race cars was pink.

[@cheesekay7314]

[@Insidious88]

It’s documented he hated that car

[@30AndHatingIt]

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”.

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

[@scottt3100]

Same here Andy. At 61 years of age I've learned one thing for sure...time heals nothing. God bless you Andy.

[@wcm68tn]

Richard, thank you for all you've done. We love you!

[@johnkaybroadcast]

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

[@g_men2121]

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

[@Otto500206]

I remember his win, but I also remember the crash before the finish too.

[@ale69420]

Boy I really love to visit RCR, Hendrick and Penske museums one day. The history there ought to be amazing.

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

Hendrick wasn't worth it. But RCR is 110%

[@racinjasonscreations2858]

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.

[@RUSTEZERacing95]

You’ll Just Never Get It Will Ya

[@gilleonard7378]

What an extremely emotional place .. so many memories.

[@tripledotter]

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.

[@gooseflatwaterfowlers]

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

[@joshpitts7256]

👍🙌

[@g_men2121]

I had chills wen i walked up to Dales ‘98 Daytona car. Id love to visit the museum again

[@kevinwells4888]

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

[@damonm7220]

Im so happy he's been able to keep all these legends

[@joeshelton1077]

I agree with you

[@S.K.R.E.Inc.]

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

[@gtracer6629]

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.

[@joeshelton1077]

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.

[@timroyall6513]

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!

[@budstermcgreen6360]

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! ✌️

[@thewinddb]

People that not only save history but persevere it in its original condition are the real heros. Thank you Richard Childress for keeping everything the way you did and presenting it how you have. I love that you left some of the cars in race day condition. My mom worked for the local Chevrolet dealership from 1982 until retirement this year and growing up we got all the best Goodwrench and Intimidator swag. I hope my mom saved all the old gear lol. We were no doubt a #3 household. I will probably never get to go see all those wonderful memories in person but it gives me chill bumps to see all of this and grateful this video was made. Keep up the great work RCR. Bowties forever!

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.

[@santiagomachado7378]

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

She will probably sue Childress for saying his name and having his name on the cars lol

[@S.K.R.E.Inc.]

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?

[@EricCox4848]

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.

[@SnarlyCharly]

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.
