If you guessed England you’re correct! I know, how random right? Well it was all a part of a yearly event called Festival of Speed held this weekend at Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, England.
The three day event, hosted by none other than an actual Earl, the Earl of March to be exact, celebrates all forms of racing. This year the festival featured a 1.16-mile hill-climbing competition for all classes and types of race cars and motorcycles, plus a 2.5-kilometer course for historic rally cars.
Four NASCAR teams made the trip across the pond to show their stuff — Hendrick Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing, Team Red Bull and Rusty Wallace Inc.
20-year-old Taylor Earnhardt drove her father’s No. 3 Richard Childress Racing chassis, the car that he drove to his last career win in October 2000. Teresa Earnhardt was on hand as well.
I completely understand why a mother would be there for her daughter at an event like this, but I don’t quite understand why you never see her at an actual NASCAR race when she owns a NASCAR race team. I’m just sayin’.
The other NASCAR drivers included Landon Cassill for Hendrick Motorsports, Rusty Wallace for Rusty Wallace Inc and Mike Skinner for Team Red Bull.

The reason that Teresa Earnhardt doesn’t come to races is that this brings back a lot of memories of Dale Sr. Also, a lot of fans really hate Teresa because of the issues she and Junior decided to work out in front of Nascar nation. Another perhaps meaner reason, is that a number of women consider Teresa to be a “pit lizard who made bank”.
(Do you really want to say that Dale Sr. was “*-whipped”? I wouldn’t dare.)
It’s a mixed bag and I really don’t blame Teresa for not wanting to come to the track. It’s just too painful and it can be dangerous for her. Teresa is just not welcome in Nascar at the track by the fans and a number of drivers have already voiced their opinion about her. Why bother? Even the media on a number of occassions have expressed their extreme dislike of her.
But people find it easy to forget that Teresa oversaw Junior’s 2004 season which Junior has never been able to duplicate since, even with Hendrick’s engines and chassis. Junior was the one who made a terrible mistake and he knows it.
So good to see Teresa and Taylor out enjoying life.She looks so much like her Father.And Teresa is just as pretty as ever.I wish them both love happiness and peace.
