Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s multimedia content platform DirtyMo Media announced on Thursday that it has signed a new podcast agreement with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. To celebrate the union the NASCAR Hall of Famer answered questions from sports reporter and host Michelle Beadle to reveal what the favorite car that he owned was and the car that he dreamed of owning someday.

He said that the favorite car that he has owned is a 1976 Chevrolet Laguna. “That car was outlawed in NASCAR,” he noted. “They outlawed it because it had such an advantage of aerodynamics and I just loved the mid to late 70s character lines.” As for a car that he never owned but fantasized about, he picked the Dodge Charger.
Dale Jr. continued, “A Dodge Charger would be really cool to own. Richard Petty made that famous in NASCAR. Also, European cars.” The BMWs and the AMGs appear to have left quite the mark on the NASCAR icon’s heart as well. Notably, there have been other instances where he mentioned a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro as his favorite to drive outside of the race track.
Favorite car ever?

“My favorite car that I own is a ’67 Camaro,” he said in a 2017 interview, according to the Men’s Journal. “It’s silver and it has an aluminum head small block V8. That car is reliable. Every time I get in it, it’s ready to go.” An avid car collector, it is only fair that Dale Jr. has more than one favorite car. Other cars that are in his collection are a 1948 Chevy Pickup, a Holden Commodore, and a 1988 S-10 Chevy Pickup.
