This 2001 Dale Earnhardt edition Silverado 1500 has a story like no
other car.
This Silverado was originally purchased by Richard Sturtz. Mr.
Sturtz was chosen to take part in the Winston "No Bull 5" program
sponsored by R.J. Reynolds. This program paired 5 lucky race fans
whose tickets were drawn to compete in a skeet shooting competition
to be paired with a race driver. If the driver they were paired
with won on race day, both the driver and the fan would win
$1,000,000. Richard Sturtz was a Dale Earnhardt fan since 1980, and
was floored when his outcome in the competition paired him with his
favorite driver. Race day came at Talladega and team owner Richard
Childress came to Dale and Richard and told them "You two are going
to win a lot of money." The race would become known as one of Dale
Earnhardt's most incredible wins ever, and what would turn out to
be his last. The day after the race, Dale called Richard and asked
what he planned on doing with all of the money. Richard mentioned
buying a special Dale Earnhardt edition Silverado as a way of
remembering the amazing time they had, and his connection to Dale.
Richard made the arrangements for his truck with Dale Earnhardt
Chevrolet of Newton, NC. Two weeks later, Dale invited Richard and
his wife to Dale Earnhardt Inc. to have lunch with the Earnhardt
family and to see his new truck. To Richard's surprise, Dale had
special features added to the truck for Richard, including his
signature on the dash. He also arranged to have the truck delivered
directly to Richard's house in Maryland.
