Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s estate hides 75+ wrecked race cars and Wild West town
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has more than 75 wrecked race cars scattered across his North Carolina estate. The collection began with damaged JR Motorsports cars and later expanded to vehicles linked to notable NASCAR moments. Known as the “Racecar Graveyard”, it became so large that Earnhardt once spent about a year trying to find one of the cars on his own property.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s property near Mooresville, North Carolina, now houses a unique collection of over 75 wrecked race cars and a Wild West-themed town called Whisky River. The "Racecar Graveyard" began as a storage area for damaged cars from JR Motorsports' late-model racing team, who chose to keep them rather than dispose of them.
Over time, the collection expanded to include cars with connections to various moments in NASCAR history, such as the car Juan Pablo Montoya was driving when he struck a jet dryer at Daytona, and the Jimmie Johnson car penalized for C-posts at Daytona. Earnhardt hopes the collection will remain on his property even after his death, with people discovering the cars and learning about their significance.
Despite the growing number of vehicles, Earnhardt cannot recall the exact number, as some cars have been lost or misplaced among the woods.
