The No. 3 Richard Childress Racing GM Goodwrench Chevy that the late Dale Earnhardt Sr. drove to victory in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series 1995 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be fired up this weekend and driven by the legends eldest son Kerry Earnhardt at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England.
The annual Goodwood Festival of Speed, held July 2-4 held on the grounds of Goodwood House, West Sussex, England, is one of the world’s premier historic race car events.
The highlight of the weekend for many will be when race cars past and present participate in both demonstration and competition runs up a nine-turn, 1.16-mile hill climb circuit.

Kerry Earnhardt will pilot the Chevy that his dad went to victory lane with in 1995 when he beat Rusty Wallace to the finish line by .37 of a second after leading the final 28 laps. The race is not only remembered for the win by NASCAR’s most popular driver, but for a four hour rain delay caused by the remnants of a tropical storm that forced TV coverage of the event to be tape delayed until the next day, setting of an angry round of fan protests.MORE–>>
