I loved visiting North Carolina, went to RCR museum, DEI, JR Motorsports, Kannapolis, JR's house, and a bunch of other car related shops, museums and such.

Thats how I ended up with my Dale Jr car (visiting the race shops in North Carolina.) About 3 miles from Dale Jr's house on Shineville Rd. There is a big chevrolet dealer ship on Rt 150 Randy Marion Chevrolet.
Over paid I think but it only had 10000 miles on it. Now it has about 14000 most of it was from driving down to the Daytona 500 then back to NY rest going to car shows.
Really enjoyed seeing all of the race shops ready to go again hopefully soon.

yeah sure is a lot to see, glad we're here for the month not a few weeks, nice folks at the tour race shops , take u thru the haulers and fab shops, some areas no cameras allowed, i respect that. Had a nice chat with Coach Joe Gibbs, took us back inside for pictures and signed some stuff he gave us....didn't expect that...Gegg Zipadelli was nice enough to take some time out for us.....they all appreciate NASCAR Fans

I also was at that shop I could not believe one shop was nicer and bigger then the other.
Micheal Waltrip shop had no glass barriers. You can stand there and watch the workers.

I was a little disappointed in Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet, looked as though it could use a paint job on the outside.
Dale Jr has a chevy dealership in Talahassee Fl.
And Jeff Gordon has a chevy dealership in Wilmington NC very nice

Have fun Hendrickcks is by far the best and biggest, when you are there Rick has his own man cave across from the museum with over 200 corvettes in there.
On the way to Rosch you will pass Kyle Busch racing also, he has a small shop.
Enjoy
