He’s saying they try to keep the cars looking and being set up the way they were back then. That means not changing things too much from the original race-era details.
Concept
pack rat
A “pack rat” is just a person who keeps a lot of stuff, especially collectibles. In this context, it means he likes saving race-car-related items rather than getting rid of them.
A “paint scheme” is the car’s exact look—its colors and graphics. Race teams change it by season, so it can help you remember what year or event the car is from.
“GM Good Ranch” is a sponsor name. In racing, sponsors put their branding on the car’s paint and graphics, so it’s part of what makes the car’s livery recognizable.
These are race cars set up for the biggest, fastest NASCAR tracks. The goal is to stay stable at very high speeds and work well with other cars close together.
Topic
Indy and Daytona
They’re talking about two famous big-speed tracks—Daytona and Indianapolis. The team focused on doing well at both over the years.
Ethanol is a fuel made from plants (or other biomass). It can be mixed into regular gasoline, and race teams test it to see how well it works in engines and what it does to emissions.
Concept
alternative fuel testing for NASCAR
They tested a different kind of fuel to make sure it works well in NASCAR cars. The idea is to check that the cars still run strong and that the fuel helps with cleaner emissions.
E30 means the fuel is 30% ethanol and 70% gasoline. A higher ethanol mix can affect how the engine needs to be set up and what the emissions look like.
The BMW 3 Series is a car made by BMW that’s designed for both daily driving and a more sporty feel. The podcast mentions testing different fuel types with different amounts of ethanol, and the 3 Series is likely the car they used to see how it behaves with those fuels. The goal is to check that the engine runs smoothly and reliably.
Company
Growth Energy
Growth Energy is a group that advocates for ethanol. If someone is on their board, it usually means they help guide how ethanol is promoted and used.
“Net zero” means aiming for a balance where the pollution you add is offset by removing the same amount. It’s a common climate goal tied to cleaner energy.
Concept
wins on Sunday, sells on Monday
It’s a saying that racing results can help sell products afterward. The idea here is that if racing proves something works, people are more likely to buy it.
The incoming charge is the air (and fuel, depending on the system) mixture that flows into the engine before combustion. If that charge is cooler and denser, more of it can fit in the cylinder, which can support more fuel/air being burned.
Here, engine protection means the fuel/air conditions help keep the engine from getting too stressed or too hot. That can help the engine last longer and stay healthy.
Fuel injectors are the parts that deliver fuel into the engine. If they get gunked up, they can spray fuel less accurately, which can hurt how well the engine runs.
Engine design means how the engine is built and tuned to work efficiently. If you change the fuel (like adding ethanol), the engine often needs different setup so it can make power smoothly.
“Bottom end” means how the engine feels at lower engine speeds. If the bottom end is strong, the car can get moving right after a turn instead of needing to rev up first.
Torque is the engine’s pulling force. In racing, it’s especially important when you leave a corner, because that’s when you need strong acceleration immediately.
Octane is basically how “hard” the fuel is to ignite too early inside the engine. If your car needs higher octane, using lower octane can cause problems and the higher-octane fuel usually costs more.
Tailpipe emissions are the gases a car releases from the exhaust. With electric cars, the pollution may still happen, but it’s usually from the power plant that makes the electricity instead of from the car’s exhaust.
Carbon capture means trapping carbon that would otherwise be released. Here, it’s described as happening during the making of the fuel, which is why the speaker claims it can help achieve “net zero” goals.
LIVE
I can't think of somebody that we got in it and did what you did and handled the pressure
that you were under to drive Dale Earnhardt's car.
You brought me in the office and you said, look, we got a quick crash of cars.
I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but are you a pack rat?
Sort of.
Yeah.
Welcome to a special episode of Speed with Harvick and Buxton, fueled by Poet.
And today we have one of my great friends, car owner, mentor.
I would definitely put that in the category of Richard Childress.
And what I would, I would call one of the most special places in NASCAR racing, but
thanks for letting us take some time today to be able to come up here and talk about
the museum.
Great having you back here, Kevin.
Having you home.
This was your home for a few years, not right in this building, but it was back up here
and welcome North Carolina.
And you got a lot of history in this building yourself, besides Dale's.
Well, and I think when you look at the history, right now we're sitting in what was Dale's
shop when he was really in the midst of everything that you guys were doing while he was driving
the cars.
And you look around and you see all, I mean, I see engine hoist, I see cars with hoods
open and you see mine in the background.
It almost doesn't need to be in here, but you know, you see some of the history of the
cars and everything in here.
What is exactly in the museum as far as the Earnhardt collection?
Because it's probably, I mean, it's the biggest Earnhardt collection of race cars anywhere
around I would imagine.
Yeah.
It's 40.
We had 44 of them and I donated one during COVID to Feedin America and Samaritan's Purse.
We took the money and divided between them, but that's the only one of them I've ever
sold right out since we've been collecting them and putting them back as original as
we could.
So there's 43 of them here and other museums that we still own.
When you look at the cars, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but are you a
pack rat?
Sort of.
Yeah.
If you've seen some stuff I have at my home, it's crazy.
I've seen it.
I've seen it.
I don't know what the upstairs looks like now with all the collectibles and everything,
but it was stuffed to the max the last time that I was in there.
So I can only imagine what it has left now, so it's fun to be able to keep stuff like
that.
And I think for me, when I look at this car here, I think it takes me back, obviously
this was, I think, 03 to 06 paint scheme with GM Good Ranch.
It's been, gosh, 2001 has been so long ago.
And we go back to that time.
And I think for me, when I go and I reflect on 2001 and everything that we went through,
there were so many emotions and so many things that were happening during that time.
And I know that for you it was even more emotional with all the things that we had going.
But when you look back at it now and you think about the significance of what it meant to
be able to have the success of Richard Childress Racing in the car and the 29 and everything
that changed, I don't think I know that I didn't realize how important it was to the
race fans, to RCR and everything.
When you look back at it now, you probably realized it a little bit more than I did,
the magnitude of the situation.
But talk about just the importance of what we were able to accomplish that year for not
only RCR, but just the sport in general now that you've had so long to look back at everything
we did.
You know, I think back at 2001, I think some of the things that we accomplished was good
for the race fans.
There were probably two or three big moments in 2001 that really was sort of a healing
moment for the fans, is the way I look at it.
And one was you going there with one of Dale's cars and winning the Atlanta race right off,
Dale Jr. winning at Daytona.
And there was one more that were kind of healing moments throughout the year.
And you being able to win the Xfinity Championship for RCR, I mean, we were all in a different
zone right then.
I think you were even in a difference on that first year and we really didn't realize we
were just racing.
But at the moment you look back at it, I think it was so important for the sport having you
come along and do the things in RCR we've accomplished together.
And some of the other things that went on was sort of a healing moment for some of the
race fans, I think.
Yeah, and that car lives in here and I've seen it a couple times since I raced it.
And you look at that first win from Atlanta.
And I think we were all kind of a little bit surprised.
And it was one of those moments where you go back and you watch the videos now and you
hear, I've never heard the crowd that loud.
And I don't know how much you remember that, but I don't remember any of it.
I remember none of it.
I remember taking them three wide.
I don't remember the checkered flag.
I remember the Polish victory lap with the fans hanging on the fence.
And that's really all I remember.
It was all such a blur to me to go back and think about all those things.
But I've never since that day ever heard the crowd in such a frenzy like that.
It was amazing.
And I never will forget for us, once we knew you won, you won by inches or foot or whatever
it was.
And for us to know that we had won at the end, it really just hit us hard.
And man, it was such an emotional ride for all of us.
But the thing, Kevin, I don't know if you've looked at the car back here when Dale won
the race the year before.
I don't forget if it was the same car.
It couldn't be because yours is over here and his is here.
But he won it the same way.
He beat Bobby Labonte, the same deal, the same width.
And it was almost spooky when you look at those two videos, how much they were alike
and both cars win by foot or two feet.
Exactly the same.
So it was really a ride back in to hear the race fans and see them standing up screaming
and cheering and holding the three up when you wanted it was big.
And I think that there's just so many massive moments of history in this building and you
go back to the 1998 Daytona 500.
And I wasn't at that one, but watching it on TV and you see the significance of that
moment and obviously we all want to win the Daytona 500.
That's a different conversation as to why that race is important.
What was that moment like for you and Dale and your whole team because it was something
that everybody anticipated every single year up until that day.
So I know the effort that you put always towards our super speedway cars and the importance
of Indy and Daytona that we lived every single year that I drove here.
What was it like when you were able to go through that moment with the team and Dale in 1998?
I think it was, we all wanted to win it.
But I think for Dale, we wanted to win it so bad for him.
He had tried to win the Daytona 500 probably every year.
He won the Daytona 499 or 498 several times.
But to finally get it and to have the Daytona 500 on his resume of wins, it was big for
all of us.
And to be a part of that, I'll never forget that.
Yeah.
Well, it was a pretty awesome moment and we talk about the super speedway program and
I think that one reason that we're sitting here today is our friends from Poet and everything
that they have done for your program.
And the engine shop for me was always interesting when we first started and the evolution of
the engine shop from the time that I started until the time that I left.
And as I look at it today, the engine shop is a place that I'm not sure that the outside
world really understands the magnitude of what ECR does.
When did we, I don't remember this.
So the evolution, did you always build your engines from day one?
Every car that you ran always had one of your engines in it.
And I built it myself.
Okay.
I was the engine builder myself for many years up until 1981 when we put Dale in the car.
We hired some of the guys up from Osterland and I had guys helping me, but I always wanted
to be able to do our own engines, cars, chassis, but the engine shop, the engine business is
big and we ran, we did the testing for NASCAR to do the, they wanted an alternative fuel
and ethanol is what it was and we tested, we tested everything from E15 up to E30.
If it was up to us, they would be running E30, it's cleaner, it's better, but E15 now
with E15 net zero is going to even be bigger.
And the engine shop, you guys have been involved in this process.
I think it was 2006 when all of this kind of first started.
But the question that I have is how in the world did you wind up going in this direction
and winding up on the growth energy board of directors?
How, you wind up in some of the most unique places and you've been on the board and so
how did all this start to be in that position?
You know, I remember when they announced, after we did the testing, they announced we
were going to E15 and Tom Bias at the time was the CEO.
I think Jeff Broen was the, at that point, I think Jeff was the chairman.
And he asked me if I would come on the board because they wanted someone since they were
getting in NASCAR, they wanted someone that knew racing engines and to get on and be a
spokesperson for them.
And so I got on the board and then what long after that they started sponsoring Austin
with growth energy.
So it's been a fun deal and it's an honor to be able to do it because we don't have to
depend as much on these countries to get it.
This quote, it says, what happens on Sunday is at the pumps on Mondays.
Is that just purely from just a technology standpoint?
Is racing help drive the technology and awareness and usage of the bioethanol piece of it and
everything that the poet folks do?
Yeah, and now they've come in with net zero.
And I think, you know, you've heard the old saying, whatever it is, wins on Sunday, sells
on Monday.
That's right.
Well, this you'll be buying.
E15 is the best fuel you can put in your cars today.
I run it in my Corvette.
Any vehicle I have, we own a sheet just up the street here and you can go up there and
it's like 40 or 50 cents a gallon cheaper.
Wow.
So everywhere you go, E15, unleaded 88 is that much and just technology from racing.
Yeah.
Well, there's a lot of things that the racing world, you know, teaches the auto industry
and fuels and oils and everything that we do and it's been fun to watch the progress
with everything.
A couple more questions.
But when I come into the museum and I see everything that happens here, how often do
you rotate the vehicles in here?
I know you've at certain points had different vehicles.
How often do you wait for something to win?
Do you wait for somebody to say, hey, this is a cool car and you just put it in here?
What's the rotation of the museum like with everything in here?
This section right here stays the same.
This is exactly how it was pretty close to exactly how it was when Earnhardt was driving.
But the bottom we'll put like we've got one of Kyle's winning cars.
We've got your winning cars.
We've got your Daytona, your Indy.
We got several winning cars, Austin's Daytona 500 winning.
We rotate them out down here a lot more over here, special event cars on the other side
of the museum.
So it's neat to see a fan come in.
It takes about two and a half hours to go through it through.
Well, I think everything is special in here, but I think that your old office over here
in the corner is probably a place that I have a lot of good memories, a lot of bad memories.
And I think one of my favorite stories from that office, aside from the original one,
I brought my dad here the very first time and we had our original meeting in this office,
in this building.
But I think one of my, probably my career turning moment at RCR, we had run 13 weeks,
12 weeks, 12 or 13 weeks of the first Bush series season.
And we hadn't won a race and you brought me in the office and you said, look, we got a
quick crash in cars.
You remember this conversation?
Yeah, we probably had a few of them, but you said, we got a quick crash in cars.
And if you don't quick crash in cars, we're going to have to figure out something else
to do.
And I remember walking across the street and I told Todd, I said, I just got my butt
chewed.
We got to figure this out.
And I'll never forget walking across the street to the shop.
And Todd was in the shop and he had the front cut off the car.
He had the side cut off the car.
And we were getting ready to go to St. Louis and we got our butt chewed and then we cut
the car up and then we went the next weekend and won our first race.
So that was a good butt chew that I had that day.
But I think for me, I always get giddy when I come back up here because this is like you
say, this is home.
This is where my career started.
I have so many friends and people up here and you've always been so kind to me and the
things that we got to do through the years.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate and I know we're here for to celebrate, you know,
poet and everything that they're doing for all that we do.
But I just I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything that we got to go through.
We had some great, great times.
You know, I look back and think of all the great moments of everything.
You know, we've been fortunate.
RCR has been blessed.
You know, to have great drivers, great crewmen, by the way, Todd Berrier hadn't changed much.
No, no, you know what I mean.
He's still cutting stuff up.
Yeah, but yeah, I remember some of those times and but man, we had some good times and I'll
always cherish those.
You know, I go back and I tell people we probably and I'm not just saying it because you're
sitting here, but not many people I know could have gotten that three car and driven it.
You won't believe how many people were asking.
I can't think of somebody that could get in it and did what you did and handle the pressure
that you were under to drive.
They'll earn hearts car and you have to save RCR.
So I'll always be thankful for that.
You know, it was it was an honor to do that.
And I think for for me, I always I had my biggest race first.
I have a biggest press conference first.
I have my biggest win first.
Everything that we did during that time was was the biggest thing that I ever did in my career.
It was all I always tell people is all backwards.
You didn't know you were going to drive the first week.
You didn't know that you were going to the biggest press conference you'd ever have.
You didn't know you were going to win your biggest race.
And we learned all that as we got to 2002 and 2003 and tried to, you know, pick up all the pieces
and reorganize.
But when we when we did it, we just got in there and raced and did it to try to keep everything going.
So it was a very interesting time.
And I think that fortunately for us, it was just we were just racers because we ran.
I think we ran 71 races that year.
And I remember the same thing in this office radio.
I came in and I said, hey, let's let's run both schedules.
And you look at me like, are you freaking crazy?
What in the world are you talking about?
So it was good times.
It worked out great because it gave you a little time the day before to get on the track, get used to it.
Yeah, know the tracks.
Some of them, I don't know if you'd ran that much.
Yeah, you did.
You had run some on them and prior years.
But to be able to run Saturday and then come in and run Sunday, I think that really helped us a lot.
Yeah.
One more thing about ethanol, you know, we've ran almost 25 million miles without a single failure
because of fuel.
Wow. That is a home run for poet and ethanol.
Hey, speed fans, this show is fueled by poet.
Poets zero carbon bioethanol gives NASCAR drivers the octane they need with zero carbon intensity.
When it comes to performance, you can't beat zero.
Learn more at poet.com.
Joining us now is Dr. Andy Randolph, who I've known for a long time.
You see, I had you as technical director, but you're going to be technical fellow of ECR engines.
And thank you for taking the time today to talk a little bit of a poet and everything that you guys do with bioethanol fuels.
What's something that we wouldn't know that that was the hardest thing from where you were with the engines and the fuel to where we are today that's transformed inside the engines, gaskets, power.
What's been the biggest transformation that you've seen?
There are two things that surprised me a little bit.
The first is ethanol is great at cooling.
If you ever take a little isopropyl alcohol or something, put it on your back of your hand and blow on it and your hand will get really cold.
And it's the same thing in an engine.
When you eject fuel that has ethanol in it, when that ethanol evaporates, it makes that incoming charge a lot cooler.
And when you have a cooler charge, you have a more dense charge, which means you get more fuel and more air into the car.
And because it's cooler, you have engine protection that comes from that as well.
So I didn't fully appreciate the effects of engine cooling until we started using it, because that's excellent from both the durability and the power standpoint.
And we both like those.
The other thing that's very good with ethanol as a fuel is that ethanol has oxygen in it and it's naturally a solvent.
And so therefore, when you take apart an engine after a race, which used to have carbon buildup on the back of the valves, carbon buildup on the pistons, a lot of that's gone now.
Because the ethanol is a solvent that just washes it all out.
And that's another thing that keeps the engines running well.
They run when they come back just as good as they left, because we don't have this issue with the positive accumulation on fuel injectors, on valves, on pistons, anywhere in the engine.
Well, you guys have won over 200 races across the series in NASCAR.
And I think the engine shop, you've been around it as long as anybody now, and well, not as long as him.
He's older than all of us, yeah, been around.
Yeah, he's seen more than we'll ever see.
But I think it's always interesting because you have a company that comes in and says, hey, we've got this technology.
What has the working relationship been like with Poet and through the years to be able to say, well, can you help us with this?
We might need to adjust this.
Have you guys, has any of the racing technology helped with the fuel side of things to understand some things that you're going to see on the street?
Well, it goes both ways.
We optimize the, I mean, consider the fuel is like the blood in your body.
And you want the blood in your body to be the best that it can be, because that's going to make you perform it, the best that you can be.
So that's the way we treat the fuel and the engine.
And so the unique properties of bio ethanol, what make it to where we design the engine specifically as we do now to run the best that it can on that blend,
which is a little difficult, which is a little different than how we would have designed it if the ethanol wasn't there.
So working with Poet on understanding and being able to attack engine design from a from a position of understanding instead of guessing
what the ethanol is doing has allowed us to optimize around it.
What is the most interesting?
You talk about mechanics and I look at him and I think about just the common sense approach.
I want to get right to the basics.
What's the best conversation that you two have had?
Because I got to believe as intense and in the know as he is, there has to have been
one or two conversations that stick out that
that were probably a decision making point in the direction of the engine shop.
And Richard is about the smartest engine guy I've ever known.
And so in talking to him, I learned things that you would never learn from a book or in a classroom.
And when it comes specifically to racing, one of the things that Richard would always would always drill into me is that we need bottom end.
We need torque. We need that. We need to pull. pull these cars off of the corner. Forget about how many horsepower.
I don't want to hear about your 820, 850 horsepower.
I want to know how much you can have when that car comes off the corner.
And that drove that drove the focus of a lot of what we did
was making sure that that we could give you as much as you could possibly handle coming off of that corner and get started going down.
And what's the second thing?
I know what I would say the second thing. Well, uh, better not blow up.
Well, you know, you're right.
So, so Richard, bottom end off of the corner and reliability
are two
Wisdoms the nuggets of wisdom that Richard has installed in me and and they've stuck when Richard when you when you hear him talk and
We both know how smart he is and and as long as he's been here and you look at the progression
Of the engine shop. Did you ever imagine that it would be?
What it is today? I mean ECR is a world-class
Shop that that can build engines for just about anything in the world and we were talking before we started the show just the amount of engineering and
The the quality of people you could probably send something to the moon
But did you ever imagine that it would be what it is today?
Not at all Kevin, you know, I I look at an engine today
I go to the engine shop and I look at I couldn't build one of these engines today back when we did it was
Simple you had your dial gauges you a few things but today
They're so far beyond anything. I ever expected ends internally and
Going back to poet going to some of their research laboratories up there, which you've been
It's incredible and the same here. We have these all kind of different ways do our research here that we didn't have before
That's a big deal for ECR and watch poet with her deal. It's this this big you've been to him
well, it seems to me like we need e30 because
that that e15 is is such an advance in in the just
from the
Just the driver safety piece of it
And I've actually been to the doctor after after races a long time ago and would actually keep track of the blood work
And it would go and tell you all the all the things that were in your blood
Just to under just to understand it right so anything that we can do to you know to to get to
carbon zero basically and and be able to
Still race the cars and have loud cars and do all the cool things that we love to do about nascar
Is pretty extraordinary technology to to to be able to to do the things that we're doing
It's going to be great for our pit crew who's sitting there at the
Exhaust the fans in the stands
That's what a poet's doing is bringing us net zero carbon. Yeah, it's amazing
Yeah, you you mentioned e30
And I would like to see you 30 not only for the race cars before my passenger car home as well. Yeah, I'm a dreamer and
Ethan all increases octane
And I have a car unfortunately when I go to the it pains me because I pull a trailer and because of what I've done
The car I need to put premium fuel on it
So anywhere from a 40 to 60 cost premium on top of an already
Exorbitant cost for this premium fuel
Can you imagine if the octane level at the pump was driven by the amount of of
Ethan all in the fuel for instance if you had e30 would give you premium fuel octane
But instead of being 40 or 60 cents more expensive per gallon, it would be 40 or 60 cents cheaper per gallon. That's amazing. All right
So explain zero carbon bio ethanol just just so that I can have a better understanding of it
And everybody who's who's going to watch this show really understands exactly what what you're talking about
Well, everybody who has a car out there
a non electric car is has
Pollution pollutants coming out the tailpipe even electric car has pollutants coming out of where the electricity was made
So that's those are carbon emissions and often when we hear about global warming you hear about carbon emissions
What net zero bio ethanol is is they've taken the carbon from the process
And captured it all the process of making the fuel. It's the only fuel in the world where that's ever happened
So when you think about bio ethanol how it starts from a seed and it grows a plant
And then that gets that crop gets manifested back in a plant and it gets turned into ethanol and then burned in your car
The carbon along that process is controlled such that the entire net release of carbon from when the seed is planted in the ground
Till that ethanol is burned is zero
And it's the only fuel that's ever been able to say that and it's a it's a huge
gain for for combustion for engines and for our environment as we move forward
That's amazing and it's pretty cool. I think that the the thing that most they just don't know
The awareness and understanding of it is probably the what the common person like myself
Just has never had that explained to him. But that that's a pretty
Drastic step in the process to be able to to make it better
Well, one of the things for instance, you'll hear about carbon dioxide in our atmosphere calling causing global warming
for net zero bio ethanol
As part of the process where carbon dioxide is produced that carbon dioxide is captured in its food grade carbon dioxide
So when you go out and and and buy your beer after your telecast is done or you go and get a soft drink
That carbon dioxide there could be carbon dioxide that was captured from the manufacturing of bioethanol
And it's definitely not carbon dioxide that's released into the atmosphere. That's great
It is pretty amazing. Yes
Well, thank you. I appreciate it. I appreciate the the knowledge and information and you guys are doing a great job
And always good just spend time in one of my favorite buildings
Good to see you again too. Yeah
A lot of good wins together. It was a good it run. That's for sure
About this episode
Richard Childress sits down with Harvick and Buxton at Richard Childress’s NASCAR museum, in Dale Earnhardt’s former shop, surrounded by cars, an engine hoist, and rotating display vehicles. They connect RCR’s 2001 emotional impact and Atlanta/Daytona wins to earlier adversity and a crash-driven shop turnaround. The conversation then shifts to engine and fuel development—testing ethanol blends from E15 to E30, designing for ethanol’s properties, and discussing net-zero bioethanol, octane, and real-world drivability.
In this special episode of SPEED with Harvick and Buxton, Kevin Harvick returns to a place that's very special to him, the Richard Childress Racing Museum in North Carolina. Kevin sits down with the man who gave him his start, Richard Childress, for a candid and emotional conversation about the moments that defined an era of NASCAR. They pull back the curtain on the heavy days of 2001, discussing the immense pressure and profound grief of Kevin stepping into the seat of the No. 29 Chevrolet just days after the tragic loss of Dale Earnhardt Sr. The duo also explores Richard’s famous "curator" habits, touring his massive 47,000-square-foot collection of history, from pristine championship cars to the tiny mementos Richard refuses to throw away.
Later in the show, Dr. Andy Randolph, Technical Director of ECR Engines, joins the conversation to bridge the gap between history and the future. Dr. Andy breaks down the "Performance Revolution" driven by POET bioethanol, explaining how the same high-octane fuel that powers 200+ RCR victories is fueling energy security and engine longevity for drivers across America.
