From its first win in 1983 with Ricky Rudd to Harvick’s triumph last week, RCR has celebrated some of the biggest victories in NASCAR history, many of them by hall of famer and seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt, who is featured prominently in this video produced by RCR.
Among the Earnhardt victories highlighted are the 1995 Brickyard 400, the 1998 Daytona 500, the 1999 Cup race at Bristol in which he spun Terry Labonte on the final lap and the 2000 race at Talladega in which he won the Winston Million.
The Talladega win was Earnhardt’s last. He was killed the following year on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. One of RCR’s biggest victories came just three weeks after his death, when Harvick, a rookie, won at Atlanta with Earnhardt’s team.
“I kept praying for Dale to help us, and he did,” an emotional Richard Childress said that day.
Also highlighted are wins by Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton, Tony Stewart and others.
