Final Weeks! On Exhibit Now.

Through a joint effort between JR Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing, Dale Earnhardt Inc., and Wrangler, Dale Earnhardt Jr. paid tribute to his father’s induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame by driving the No. 3 Wrangler Chevrolet Impala to a win in the July NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway. The sight of the familiar blue and yellow Chevrolet leading the pack, fans holding up three fingers in the air, and at the end of it all a No. 3 atop the leaderboard will forever remain in the minds of all who saw it unfold. For Dale Earnhardt Jr, it was a fitting honor to his father and to his father’s fans.
