I had the privalege to see the shop where Burton, Kenseth and a bunch of other drivers for NASCAR have their cars worked and crafted. We were taken on a private tour of the actual facilities where the cars are made. It is absolutely amazing the amount of engineering these cars go through and they are literally hand crafted from start to finish. We were given the tour by a guy named mike which does all the data and sensor entry and sits whith the drivers at the end of the race for a pow wow and feedback. We were able to see the museum as well and absolutely loved learning the history about Dale Sr. I even came home with a tire for the garage to hang on the wall. Enjoy the pics.



Update. Got more detailed pictures of the new shop and will post them this eve

8) Got to visit the RCR shops, museum and vineyard in Febuary with my Dale Earnhardt Signature Monte Carlo SS. Going back next week between races. It was still a tear filled eyes to get up close to Dale Sr's cars and his race shop. Thanks for posting your pics.

Did you get to see the new track simulator they have for the suspension tuning? That Earnhardt shrine is awesome!
