KIT 2375 85237500200 DALE EARNHARDT GOODWRENCH SERVICE PLUS ® ™ 2001 MONTE CARLO STOCK CAR Historians may discover that Dale Earnhardt will remain NASCAR’s all-time greatest driver of the Modern Era, (since 1971). His record of seventy six career wins, 281 top five and 428 top ten finishes, including twenty two pole position starts en route to seven NASCAR Cup Championships might not ever be exceeded. He scored his only Daytona 500 victory, a race the sports media calls “The Superbowl of Stock Car Racing” in the Fiftieth Anniversary Year of NASCAR at Daytona, Florida; the birthplace of NASCAR. His record at Daytona is remarkable. Dale Earnhardt was, after 1997, the single most successful driver at Daytona since King Richard Petty. Dale won over four million dollars there; more money than any other driver in NASCAR history. He was a two-time winner of the Pepsi 400, held on the Independence Day weekend every July. Dale won the Clash, now hailed as the Shootout; the sprint race for past year pole winners, six times. Dale has won in the International Race of Champions (IROC) at Daytona. Since 1990, Earnhardt had been victorious in his half of the Twin 125 Qualifiers, weekday races that set the field for Sunday’s Daytona 500, every time he entered until 2000, when the Fords shut him out. In 1998, when Earnhardt entered the fortieth running of the Daytona 500 there were doubts. After a slim 1997 season, many expected not to see him capture the checkered flag. Richard Childress Racing was prepared for victory however, as the GM Goodwrench Service Plus Team, led by the former Daytona 500 winning crew chief Larry McReynolds had all tested well, helping Dale to win yet another Twin 125 Qualifier. On Sunday, they ran strong and avoided all the trouble on the race track. There was plenty of that, the race in fact ended under caution, with the #3 car first to the yellow flag with only a few laps to go. On his way to Victory Lane, Earnhardt was applauded by every single team on pit row, and crew after crew came out to congratulate him. No one will forget Speedweeks 1998, when Dale Earnhardt and the Goodwrench team won their first Daytona 500. Your Revell kit depicts Dale’s Chevrolet as it appeared for the 2001 Daytona 500, or as it appeared in the 2001 shootout with Oreo graphics to fit the most recent Monte Carlo body shell, having the latest roof and cowl flaps, flush right-side window, vented front air dam, side skirt extensions and jack posts. Quarter windows have air circulation vents, connecting to a network of four interior mounted cooling air duct hoses. The body will lift off to reveal a superspeedway chassis, with single-shock suspension, belt driven oil recir- culation pumps on both engine and rear end, inboard mounted oil tank, contoured driver’s seat, and an up-to-date full perimeter roll cage. It rides on Aero eight-hole racing wheels and Goodyear radial slicks. Detail include engine water hoses, and interior roll bar padding, making this a true state-of-the-art stock car replica. * REPEAT SEVERAL TIMES * OPTIONAL PARTS * DECAL * ALTERNATIVE ASSEMBLY * CEMENT TOGETHER * REMOVE AND THROW AWAY * DO NOT CEMENT * A REPETER PLUSIEURS FOIS * PIECES EN OPTION * DECAL COMANIE * ENSEMBLAGE ALTERNATIVE * A COLLER * A RETIRER ET JETER * NE PAS COLLER READ THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN LIRE CE QUI SUIT AVANT DE COMMENCER This paint guide is provided to complete this kit as shown on the box. * Study the assembly drawings. * Etudier les schémas de montage.
