Former NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. proved his skills on the racing track throughout his career. Earning himself 26 wins, he put himself on the list of one of the most competitive drivers in the history of NASCAR.

At the same time, he has also managed to build himself a whole different model town spread within his 300-acre area. He calls it the Dirty Mo Acres. The area consists of extremely intriguing constructions. If one is a fan of some "Wild West" themed amusements, the Dirty Mo Acres might as well be the place of their dreams.

At the center of the property, valued at over $5.2M, is a small town called Whiskey River, named after the eponymous Willie Nelson song. Although the little town, styled like the Wild West, might appear to be a model, it includes a functioning saloon, some shops and stores, a pharmacy, and even a sheriff's office with a jail.
