Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s #3 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet on Exhibit at N.C. Museum of History

FOR MORE INFO
On May 13 at the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh, members of the N.C. Sports Hall of Fame unveiled a #3 car driven by Dale Earnhardt Sr., a legendary figure in NASCAR history. The Richard Childress Racing #3 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet is a 2000 Monte Carlo body style. It will be on exhibit at the museum for an extended period. Admission is free. Earnhardt’s car appears near the 1963 Chevrolet Impala #3 that Robert “Junior” Johnson drove during the 1963 NASCAR season. Earnhardt, Johnson and Richard Childress — and the legendary #3 Chevrolet race cars associated with their success — make for one winning racing story. Ater Johnson’s spectacular NASCAR career, he became a successful team owner and served as a mentor to Childress, an outstanding independent driver who drove # 3 to honor Johnson and his famous #3 Chevrolet. In 1981, Johnson advised Childress to start a team, and he recommended Earnhardt.
