The RCR Racing Museum, located on the RCR campus, is a 47,000 square foot facility
that encompasses the original No. 3 race shop built at the RCR campus in 1986 and
the original RCR Museum built in 1991. A 3,500 square foot structure was constructed
between the two buildings to tie it all together. Inside, there are
47 race vehicles (46 cars and one NASCAR Truck) and a
tractor-trailer transporter rig. Of those 46 race cars, 22 are black No. 3 GM
Goodwrench Chevrolet Monte Carlos or Luminas driven by Dale Earnhardt. There are also
all six of the No. 3 special paint scheme cars that Earnhardt competed in The Winston
with from 1995-2000, and a 1987 No. 3 Wrangler Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

There are 16 video screens in the facility, showcasing key victories in RCR
history as well as informational pieces hosted by Richard Childress and members
of RCR's managerial staff.
There are also numerous displays, memorabilia and photographs throughout the
facility, including all six NASCAR Winston Cup championship banners and all six
NASCAR Winston Cup championship owner's trophies.
The center section of the facility is dedicated to Childress' devotion to
wildlife and outdoor conservation. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, the North
Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation, the National Wild Turkey Federation and Ducks
Unlimited, all actively involved in the conservation of the nation's wildlife and
natural resources, are showcased in this area along with many of the animal
trophies Childress has taken over the years.
Danny "Chocolate" Myers, famed longtime gas man for the No. 3 team, is the
curator of the museum.
