A closer look at some RCR special paint schemes |
To See and Do: 5 there is a lot to see throughout the museum--give yourself at least 45 minutes, maybe more if you're a hardcore Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan.
Accessibility: 4 there's a decent amount of displays and sections that go beyond racing, featuring Richard Childress' work with various outdoors organizations and the NRA.
Gift Shop: 5 lots and lots to buy here, including sheet metal and other car parts that aren't really available elsewhere.
Friendliness of Staff: 4 the receptionist was quite helpful, and I got to see Chocolate Myers working on his radio show in his booth. The only thing I would've preferred would've been a staff member available in the museum itself, but its a minor issue.
Insider Tip: The RCR and Petty Museums have a reciprocal agreement--go to one and keep your receipt. Present it at the other and get 10% off your admission.

While there's hero cards available, there's not much else.
RPM
This shop is not open to the public at all.
Final Verdict--See the museum you're a Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan or if you're already in the area for the RCR race shop. Skip it otherwise.
