In September of 2022, I drove here by myself for my own birthday gift as I live in Lexington, NC not far from here at all (Welcome, NC) and I love museums, especially any automotive ones. I was not disappointed. I bought a ticket ahead of time and the relatively low prices are fantastic for how comprehensive this museum truly is, especially if you are into Nascar racing. Now I am not much into Nascar, but I am certainly what you would call an automotive enthusiast and I enjoy motorsports, it is just that Nascar is not the type of motorsports I prefer the most.I arrived and the parking and traffic was excellent with plenty of open spaces. I went during a weekday during normal business hours and there was hardly anyone here, so there was no overcrowding at all. Fantastic! The museum itself is a modern ,clean, organized building in an area easy to navigate... so no jammed city streets like some museums, which is so much more pleasant in arriving and leaving the vicinity.Inside, I checked in quickly with no queue and the sole staff member was professional and polite to me. Once inside, there is so much to see in the world of Nascar, I hardly nowhere to begin.You will see so many past famous and notorious stock cars in elaborate large rooms and well laid out displays, plenty of Nascar racing and mechanical parts like entire engines, tires, and transmissions to look over and scrutinize.There is so much to read on the displays and TVs and there are TV screens all over to watch long ago news clips and footage about the history of Nascar and concerning all kinds of historical races, past events, milestones, and timelines in Nascar history going back many decades all the way to the origins of the motorsport.I saw mock ups of pit crews, rooms where Nascar automobiles were designed, and I even walked through am entire Nascar transporter.I saw more real trophies in this sport than I had ever seen in my life by far. And there were displays of valuable Nascar miniature car models and memorabilia.In one large room, there was a display of the interior of a Nascar race car and an opportunity to sit in it. There were posters everywhere of Nascar drivers, cars, plaques, and descriptions of their racing history and career.The museum is heavily themed for Nascar, and it is more than just the Nascar artifacts and cars themselves, thus it truly feels like you have stepped into and are now apart of the motorsport itself or you are at a Nascar racetrack or as if you are somehow involved in the spirit of Nascar and racing. They captured the essence of this motorsport that is for sure. This place is a theater for Nascar actually.Overall, I loved the several hours it took me to tour everything here, I learned so much more about this motorsport than I ever knew before, and in addition to the main Nascar museum there is a small conservatory wildlife museum that it is also worth viewing through. The gift shop, while I did not purchase anything, I noticed has plenty of merchandise to choose from.Even if someone is not as interested in Nascar or motorsports like I am, I am an motorsports aficionado, this museum I feel still remains a treat to visit and see at least once in your life. I recommend the Richard Childress Racing museum to anyone that is able to visit here.

The museum includes many race cars from over the years. Cars driven by great drivers like Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt are on display here. Some you can even touch and get inside. There is also a great exhibit of wildlife and stories of hunting and conservation on display. There are many photo opportunities for individuals and groups. Visit this museum as well as other racing legends in North Carolina and Virginia to get a full picture of the history of NASCAR racing. Richard childress is the only team owner with championships in all three NASCAR divisions: Trucks, Xfinity, and Cup Series Races that run on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday respectively.

The setup and flow were great. The cars and literature was fascinating. Dale's 3 was beautiful. The black paint has a piano shine to it. I had never noticed that at the race track. The only thing missing was a current generation car to look at. I understand that they are tightly regulated by Nascar, but I was wondering if a total loss car could be repaired for display only?

A must do when in Charlotte area. Cost children under 6 free. Adults 10.00 seniors 8.00 and children over 7 is 5.00. This museum is very nice. Does a great job respectful of Dale Earnhardt time racing for RCR. All current and past race drivers. Give yourself 3 hrs for the museum. Not able to see shop area or pit stop practice like other race shops. Nice large gift shop area price resemble.

Amazing shop and the experience is well worth it. See the old shop at the museum and how cars were built. Ran into Andy Petree and he was kind enough to say hello when I can only imagine how busy he is. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and I even said hello with out my wife and they still said hello back ?. Inside joke with Andy. Thanks everyone, can't wait to see you all at Darlington.

I have visited the RCR Racing Museum multiple times, I try to go every time I travel through the area. The history of Dale Earnhardt & the RCR Organization is on display and can easily take a couple hours to see everything. A must see for any Dale Earnhardt fan.

What a great place if you're a fan of RCR. It brought back memories as I was a Dale Earnhardt fan since the beginning. I was in my own world as I walked around even though I was with family.

This is a great place to visit whether you was a Dale Sr. Fan or not. You get to tour a transporter and sit in a race car at no extra cost. A lot of the nuts and bolts of the cars.
