Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR, plane crash in Aviation, Events, NASCAR, News Friday, March 9, 2012 at 8:29PM Juan Pablo Montoya’s wrecked car is Dale Jr.'s gain.
The red Target-sponsored Chevy sits in the woods on Earnhardt’s 200-acre property in Mooresville, N.C., a gift from former Hendrick Motorsports engineer Chris Heroy, who worked on Earnhardt’s crew last year and is now Montoya’s crew chief at EGR.
“(Heroy) is a buddy of mine and he gave it to me,” Earnhardt said. “I’ve got 50 or 60 cars out there. I didn’t buy any of them.”
The Montoya car has became one of the most famous cars on Earnhardt’s property.
The car is the Earnhardt Ganassi Racing car that Juan Pablo Montoya crashed into a jet dryer during the Daytona 500 Feb. 27 at Daytona International Speedway.
Earnhardt Jr. says he also would like to add the jet dryer to his collection as well, but it remains property of Michigan International Speedway where it was on loan from.
