Dale Earnhardt Jr might not have won a Cup championship during his long and illustrious career, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a great driver. In fact, over the years, he won several iconic races and amassed a rather massive trophy collection for himself. And recently, the NASCAR Hall of Famer opened up on where he keeps all of those shiny silverware and prized possessions.

Answering a question from a fan on his podcast, Junior mentioned, “There’s a couple one or two in here (Bojangles Studio). There’s a lot upstairs at Junior Motorsports, all of my most popular driver awards are in this building. On different pedestals around. I have a shop on my property that’s full of trophies, some of Ralph Earnhardt’s trophies are in there as well.”
Junior added, “And in the house, the clock from Martinsville, the trophy from Bristol from 2004. Both of my Xfinity Series championship trophies. Both of my Daytona 500 trophies. Chicago win is there, Michigan win is there, Atlanta when is there and there’s a few more.”
He concluded by saying, “Anyways, um, probably about a third of my cup wins. And both of my XFINITY Series championship trophies are the house, so yeah, that’s it.”
