Forgotten Classic NASCAR Race Shops Ultimate History Tour! (What Do They Look Like Today?)

What happens here

Begin your physical tour in the Concord, NC area, driving to the researched addresses. Identify buildings that were once significant race shops. For example, locate the former DarWal Inc. (Davey Allison's shop), which was also responsible for building Dale Earnhardt's first championship car. Also, find the shop that housed the Stavola Brothers' team, notable for Dale Jarrett's #18 Interstate Batteries Daytona 500 car. Document the current appearance of these buildings and note any visible remnants or historical markers. The video suggests these buildings might not look like race shops anymore, so look for architectural clues or subtle hints.

Goal: Locate and identify former race shops in Concord, NC.
