In 2001, Dale Earnhardt Sr. strode out of his “comfort zone” of Twin 125, Grand National Series, IROC, and NASCAR races and, along with his son Dale Jr., entered the Daytona 24-hour endurance race to complete unfinished business. Although both he and his son handled themselves extremely well, they only managed to finish fourth due to having to stop for repairs during the night. However, their C5-R Corvette maintained a strong lead throughout the race until the breakdown occurred. This model represents the #3 car driven by Dale and his son (along with Andy Pilgrim and Kelly Collins) as a tribute to “The Intimidator” and his legacy, with a couple of modifications.

For the Modeler: This is a Revell Corvette C5-R 2001 Daytona Racer 1:25 Scale Revell Kit #85-2376 skill level 3 model kit was released in 2003 but there are still plenty of these kits around. You can find them at online auctions or flea market sales. The kit consists of 94 parts molded in white, transparent red and four vinyl tires. The body represents the 2001 C5-R styling. It also features a highly detailed chassis with a lift-off body and decals to finish either the class winning LeMans car, the Daytona #2 winning car or the Daytona #3 car driven by the Earnhardt team. Finished length is 7-3/8″
