Are You A Nascar Fan?

"Welcome to Welcome A Friendly Place" That’s on the town sign as you come into Welcome, North Carolina. I used to live about ten minutes from Welcome and I had a P.O. Box there. Even though my mailing address was Winston-Salem, the Welcome Post Office was closer to where I lived. I wonder how many people, who are NASCAR fans, know about the Richard Childress Racing Museum in Welcome, NC? It’s a 47,000 square-foot facility that houses 25+ Number 3, GM Goodwrench Chevrolets that had been driven by Dale Earnhardt, Sr. The museum also has all sorts of NASCAR memorabilia, photographs, NASCAR Winston Cup championship banners and Winston Cup championship trophies. Sixteen video screens show key victories in RCR racing history. It’s an amazing place to visit. There is also a section in the museum that houses a polar bear and other animals that have been preserved by a taxidermist. My grandson didn’t particularly like that area. We also saw a very believable “PIT STOP” done right in front of us. We saw how quickly they could change the tires and refuel the vehicle in just a few minutes. It was very exciting. My grandson was delighted. We also saw the HUGE tractor-trailer with one of the NASCAR cars inside it. This tractor-trailer was INSIDE the museum. There is also a small gift shop. I’ll have to see if I can find my pictures we took inside the museum and post them up on MyLot. If you ever get the chance, you should visit this fascinating museum. Picture by Pixabay
