I dont know for sure where the car is or if its even still around but If I had to take an educated guess, I would say its at Dale Earnhardt, Inc. located in Mooresville, North Carolina .
Also, I sorta have a picture of the crash. I still have the St Louis Post Dispatchs newspaper that has the front page Picture of the crash, which shows Ken Schraders #36 M&M car T-boning Earnhardt on the right side of the car. Earnhardts car is facing up hill towards the fence. While fighting for position, Earnhardt grazed Sterling Martins car ,crashed into the concrete wall at 180 m.p.h. in turn four and was smacked by Ken Schrader.
In another picture is Daytona winner, Michael Waltrip, a teammate of Earnhardts, and he is crying instead of celebrating because he had just learned about Dales crash, but at that point did not know Earnhardt was dead.

Don't know for sure but the car was probably crushed, Richard Childress sure wouldn't want it and I'm sure Theresa Earnhardt wouldn't want it. I highly doubt it was parted out either as they wouldn't want other teams to get any parts that may have been in development as part of the Childress team.
By the way why is this ? in Dodge, Dale was driving Chevy's at that time.
