Always the sentimentalist, Dale Earnhardt Jr. tweeted out a wonderful photo on Wednesday afternoon, showing a yellow race car with a No. 3 on the side.
The car, of course, belonged to his late father, Dale Earnhardt.
My aunt @CathyEarnhardtW just shared this old photo of one of dads first race cars. Sweet ass ramp truck too. #Dirt pic.twitter.com/OCVl5Oz1Se

It’s tough to tell where the car was used and for what race, but it’s cool to see how even back then race cars were sponsored. Earnhardt’s ride was funded by a “John Burns Construction Co.” which has been around since 1906 and even listed their number on the side.
Pretty neat.
