Dale Earnhardt Jr. is a third-generation racer, and his car collection is just as well known as his trophy collection. Among all his cars, however, there’s a special place in his heart for the Camaros of the 1960s.
The reason for his affection is childhood memories. Dale’s father, Dale Earnhardt Sr., built one of these cars with his own father while growing up. Junior has continued the Camaro tradition and enjoys hitting the highways in his favorite model, the 1967. He might be up for a race, but if he still has any of his skills, he’s going to leave you in the dust.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Isn't Good With Just One Camaro
Here's another amazing car owned by the third-generation NASCAR great Dale Earnhardt Jr., and it's even the second Camaro on the list. This time it's a 1973 Camaro, painted a fiery orange and black and sure to be blazing fast.
Earnhardt still competes part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving No. 88 in a Chevrolet Camaro. He enjoys riding in this kind of car on both the track and the open roads. But he's fine staying away from the newer models – maybe two is enough for this famous racer.
Here's a Little Car
While most of the cars on this list are big, fast, and expensive, that's not how all of them are. Former Formula One driver Jarno Trulli goes to town in a Fiat 500, which is perfect for small streets and lazy afternoons.
Trulli drove in the F1 From 1997 until 2011, and has raced for Jordan, Renault, Toyota, Lotus Racing, and other teams, and is world-renowned for his dexterity and skill. He's beaten racers who drove much faster cars using his practiced techniques, but now that he's hung up his racing gloves, the smaller, easier Fiat 500 is all that he needs.
This Knight's Steed Doesn't Eat Oats
Sir Stirling Moss is known in the world of racing to be the best race car driver who never won a World Championship. Sort of like the Dan Marino of cars. Moss made it to the podium as a runner-up four separate times and came in third three times, but he never made it to the top spot.
Despite these awards and his fame, he has yet to make it into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. He still puts the pedal to the metal in his Ogle Mini, which he souped up with an SX1000 back in 1961.
He's a Hard Working Man and He Needs a Hard Working Truck
Another car that might not look like much, but has plenty of sentimental value, is Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Chevy S10. It's your down-to-earth pickup without all the crazy additions they have these days, and Dale bought it in 1988 because it was the same truck his family had when he was young.
Dale has restored it to like-new condition, and as close as he could get to the truck of his childhood. He's probably upgraded a few parts, though – he's still a NASCAR driver, after all.
