Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Car Graveyard Is Like His Own Personal Scavenger Hunt
Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Car Graveyard Is Like His Own Personal Scavenger Hunt-August 2024

The comment on the bottom right: relatable.

Former NASCAR driver , as you might know, has an , perhaps perplexing to some, on his property. But it’s far more than a big car graveyard—it’s, according to Earnhardt, essentially a never-ending scavenger hunt.

Earnhardt posted about his massive car graveyard on Facebook Thursday, as found by the , to say he’d been looking for the pictured car “for about a year.” While that opening line might make him sound forgetful or like he has too many wrecked cars in the yard, as if there’s an actual threshold for that, it actually has nothing to do with either.

Turns out, Earnhardt said he’d been looking for the car because his property manager just dumps new additions off without telling him where. It’s basically the perpetual Easter-egg hunt we all wish for but only someone like NASCAR’s for 326 consecutive years (approximate estimation), Dale Earnhardt Jr., could actually have.

Earnhardt said in the post that the particular car he’d been looking for was a land-speed car converted from an old vehicle from NASCAR’s second-tier national touring series, now called the Xfinity Series.It’s one of the many he has on the property, since a from a couple of years ago said the collection began around 2005 or 2006.

It sound like a dream, really—taking a stroll around your massive, property, only to find some old race car that was dropped off long ago and that you hadn’t come across yet. But for Earnhardt, it’s a reality—a great one, at that.

As for the rest of us, well, we’ll just have to stick with those word finds in the dollar-store puzzle books. If you close your eyes and grunt hard enough, it’s almost the same thing.

Where, oh where, will six highly talented top-class Le Mans prototype drivers go now that from LMP1? By the looks of things, at least one may land at Porsche. Not one, but three seats are now open for the taking over at the lone remaining Volkswagen Group LMP1 effort. In...

You Can't Just Mash The Go Pedal Like It's Mario Kart
Go-karts are the perfect place to your need for speed, but you may want to remember that the laws of physics still apply in real life. It always feels bad to get passed like you’re standing still, but I’ll bet the driver with the helmet cam doesn’t feel anywhere near...

Formula One Has The Weirdest Team Dynamic
Formula One Has The Weirdest Team Dynamic
While everyone’s debating whether Lewis Hamilton was right to to speed up at the end of yesterday’s season finale, I’ve come to the conclusion that F1's inherent team vs. driver conflict is something that will never truly make sense. Admittedly, I tend to be sympathetic to the team’s side. They...
