Racing fans got the opportunity to take an up-close look at retired NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s high-dollar motorcoach on social media last week. The 15-time Most Popular Driver of the sport has put his luxury motorcoach up for sale.
The two-time Daytona 500 champion, who's worth $300 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, had his motorcoach shown off on a video from "RVing with Andrew Steele" on YouTube, posted last Saturday.
In the video, Steele and Josh Snider, a sales consultant for Newell Coach, take a look around the racing legend's 2015 motorcoach.
The motorcoach's exterior is white, black, and orange at the 4:57 mark, with some of the metallic orange fading into the black portions. Snider said Earnhardt Jr. often placed a folded golf cart into the coach's first bay, which has a pull-out television screen as well.

Steele was enthused by the pearl white paint and suggested to Snider that it was probably an upgraded option. Snider responded by saying:
"It's definitely upgraded in what they did with it. Just everything with this coach is very upgraded and so custom-done" (7:02).
On the inside, the North Carolina native had two extra-cushioned couches along with a 32-inch TV screen at the 8:41 mark. Snider said the coach has the largest mid-entry TV as well, as they installed a 55-inch screen in the front overhead at the 9:08 mark.
Steele was fascinated with the front of the coach as it didn't have a passenger seat. As Dale Jr. and his wife Amy never rode in the coach, Snider said, they had a full-time driver and didn't need a passenger seat. He added:
"He took advantage of this space, had a little desk area here. ... Looking forward to him [Earnhardt Jr.] trading it in one day. It does have the base mounted below that floor, so all we have to do is we have it already predetermined by engineering, cut that floor out, we can pop a passenger seat in, and then we can obviously put the seat belt back in and all that in there as well" Steele said (9:31).
Steele pointed out that the driver's seat and steering wheel don't have much wear and tear despite 230,000 miles on the vehicle. The YouTuber questioned why the racing legend never decided to trade in his 10-year-old coach, to which Snider responded:
"If it's not broke, why fix it? He [Earnhardt Jr.] loved his coach, he and Amy worked hard designing this motorhome, it lasted, it performed well for him, so why order another one? That was his mind frame," Snider said. (10:37)
