Dale Earnhardt's Early Days: Inside Rod Osterlund's Former Race Shop with Doug Richert! (Crew Chief)

Before Dale Earnhardt was "The Intimidator" known for driving the black 3 car, he was just Ralph's boy from Kannapolis looking to make a career in NASCAR racing. His first of 7 cup series championships was achieved out of THIS building right here. His former crew chief and good friend Doug Richert has not been back here in 40 years until today! Back in the late 70's this was the home of Rod Osterlund Racing, who they hired a young Dale to drive full time in 1979. He won rookie of the year in 79 and became champion in 1980 attracting the iconic Wrangler sponsorship for 1981. Shortly after the 81 season began JD Stacy bought the team and Earnhardt left for RCR, taking Wrangler with him. The shop later became Blue Max racing and was also used by Hendrick Motorsports in some capacity back in the day before falling into disrepair and being converted into retail space by Art.

You need to check out Laughlin Racing Products history in Simpsonville SC. It's called Ortec now but they built all the Winston Cup stuff back in the day. Mike just passed away but there are plenty of people around who can help you with the history and stories. I can tell you lots about being a kid growing up there

Hey just FYI, Caliber collision had the old Robert Yates building in Charlotte. I’ve been in it and it still had the surface plate and some other stuff.. had an upstairs with beds for the guys to grab a few hours sleep. Kinda of neat to be in the building where all that stuff happened during the #28 era. They might let you go through it.

I toured this place in 1979, I had a friend of a friend ( Ed Negree) and we got to go through the place led by Roland Wlodyka himself. I could not believe all the equipment and cars they had at that time. I think I counted 9 complete cars, not counting one in primer to sell and one on the jig being built. They had a room full of engines… 20+ all complete Carburetor, headers, sump pump, transmission ready to drop in a car. It was unreal to see an operation that size, we saw the Dyno room and the room where they did the heads… took one man a week to grind out the heads back then.. I remember Roland said they only ran the engine components one time (except for the billet crank) he said it wasn’t worth the risk, they could sell the parts and defray the cost of new…No wonder they were so successful, that equipment and one of the best drivers ever.. it’s a shame where nascar is right now…never go back to this era for sure..

I went to the Super Chevy Sunday race at the 131 speedway in Martin MI back in the 80’s. My Dad took me there to see his friend race his car. I was wandering around the vendor alley, window shopping because I was a poor 10 year old kid. I walked up to the Dale Earnhardt vendor. The guy in the trailer did me a solid by giving me a poster of the Wrangler car. Dale was driving for GM at the time, but I was still happy to have a Wrangler poster. That free poster is what made me a lifelong Dale Earnhardt fan.

This time you had Doug and the current property owners bringing life to the old shop.

The food was soul fulfilling, I don’t know I feel like every moment of life was so important then, we didnt stare at phones and disconnect, we walked outside, helped out one another without expectations!

Yes. We did the top side buildings with Rusty. The main side here was what Osterlund used. Same property but both teams had home base in different sides. It’s a fascinating property

Thank you enjoyed verry much. Was at Daytona starting in 1967 with Jim Scott who ran in the Arch race. I helped build his 1967-68-69 race cars. Enjoyed that era so much. Worked on Jims pit crew in 1968. Got to see all the big named drivers of the time. Thank you so much.

I love all the stories and all places you guys go it's amazing how much stuff is still preserved after all these years. Keep doing your thing and thanks for doing the tour of the winston cup museum. I never got to make it down there because it's about 9 hours from my home and I work a lot of weekends so I got to take a virtual tour because of you guys.
