Dale Jr Cars

[Dragline]

I was never that big of a NASCAR fan. But Dad loved all forms of auto racing and it bonded us together during our time of reconciliation. We went to quite a few NHRA national events and to a few NASCAR as well. They are highlights of my memories of our renewed bond. I would build these and give them to him and he had quite a collection. When he passed I allowed my brothers to take models they liked as memories of our Dad. I took the rest back and have had them in boxes for the last 5 years since. I was looking for builds to show and came upon a particularly heavy box. it had these two in it and a flood of emotion came over me.


Dad loved the Earnhardt's and always cheered them, so I though it fitting to show these together. My Dad treasured all the models I built him and displayed them in the mid 19th century case made of quarter sawn oak that is just stunning. I have that case and will bring it with me to my next house.

Like many here, I miss my Pops a lot.

Well done! Shame what happened to Dale.

Very nice! I've always been an Earnhardt fan whether it was Dale or Dale Jr.

Those look damn good!
