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.
A Car for the Generations
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.
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.
A Mini Van That's a Blast From the Past
Ryan Newman makes his second appearance on the list with a 1960 Chevy Parkwood Wagon. He got it one day when he attended an auction with his kids. But, his kids loved the old car before Newman even put in his bid, so he knew he was destined for it.
It ended up being the perfect vehicle for Newman and his entire family. They love taking trips to get ice cream in the vehicle, and it's even proved to be pretty reliable, though it might not red line the same way his racing Camaro does on the track.
Logano Must Spend Boatloads on Oil Changes
One of the many cars owned by the eccentric Joey Logano, this one might be the strangest yet. The 1972 Chevy Suburban is one of the original sport utility vehicles, and even though he's done little or nothing to update this car for the modern era, he loves driving it almost as much as his other cars.
What other wonders does Joey Logano's garage contain? We hope it goes on forever, because every time he rolls a new car out, it's yet another amazing make and model – and sometimes color – and he keeps them in such good condition, too.
