Here are some more information for Race Car Tools:
Dale Earnhardt Sr. was born in Kannapolis, NC to Martha Coleman and Ralph Earnhardt. His dad Ralph was a natural born racer and one of the best short-track drivers at the time. Although Ralph didn't want Dale to follow in his footsteps, his son had a dream and that was to race cars. The more he watched his dad race, the more he wanted that for himself. He even dropped out of high school to race.
When he was a teenager, Dale worked at a local auto mechanic shop doing welding and mounting tires. When he left work every day, he would rush to his garage to work on his racecars. Dale grew up fast and at the early age of 17, he married his first wife and had a son on the way. Financial issues soon arose and he parted ways with his wife and son. In 1973, Dale lost his father, Ralph to heart failure. He died in his own garage, doing what he loved working on his racecar.
The passing of Dale's father devastated him but he pressed on with his dream of racing and with his life. Dale's second wife was Brenda Gee (the daughter of NASCAR car builder Robert Gee). Together they had two children, Kelley and Dale Jr. Shortly after Dale Jr. was born, Dale and Brenda divorced. His third wife was Teresa. They were married for 20 years and had a daughter, Taylor.
Together in 1980, they founded Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Dale usually kept his personal life to himself. Most only saw the no-nonsense, intimidating side of him at the track. Privately, he did enjoy family time, fishing, hunting and working on his farm in Mooresville. He was known by those close to him to be charitable and generous. Dale's NASCAR racing career spanned from 1975 to 2001. Over the years, his skills and aggressive driving style earned him the nickname "The Intimidator". He was also known as "The Man in Black" referring to the black paint scheme in which his #3 car was painted. Some fans even called him "Darth Vader" because of the black uniform and car, adding to his notoriety as a driver who would wreck you if he couldn't pass you. Dale was either loved or hated by race fans; nevertheless he was one of the sports most popular drivers.
Earnhardt suffered a tragic accident on the last lap of the Daytona 500 on February 18th, 2001. He did not survive the crash and was the fourth NASCAR driver to die in the nine months prior, the first being Adam Petty in May 2000. These fatal crashes led to increased safety precautions instituted by NASCAR. At a press conference, Mike Helton, the president of NASCAR made the formal announcement of Earnhardt's death: "Undoubtedly this is one of the toughest announcements I've personally had to make. We've lost Dale Earnhardt. The #3 car, driven by Earnhardt since 1988, was immediately retired by Richard Childress, the team owner. Certainly Dale Earnhardt's life and death touched many fans all over the United States.

How to Draw Cars - Beginner Tips & Tools for Success
Learning how to draw cars is not as difficult as you may believe. Many beginners when attempting to draw cars will fail at first because of that "I can't do it" mentality. They will see all of the details, the shadows and the highlights and become intimidated and lose confidence. In order to succeed, to really learn how to draw, you must remove all preconceived notions about drawing.
Learning how to draw is really a matter of breaking down what you see into smaller parts or shapes. You have to look at the picture as a smaller step by step process. When you break things down like this the problem at hand becomes easier to draw. But before you go off and start to draw those cool muscle or race cars, you really need to understand a bit more about the supplies you will need. How else are you going to draw those cool cars?
Having good supplies is definitely going to make it easier to draw and more enjoyable, but it won't make you a better artist. You must learn and understand the basics first. Quality equipment is an aid, but it is not a substitute for your skills or abilities.
The first thing you are going to need is a good surface to draw on. You will need a solid sturdy table, desk, or drafting table. Whatever you choose to draw on, make sure the surface does not wobble and is level. Do not settle for a cheap surface. It will only frustrate you and make things more difficult. Many artists like to work on a surface that is on a slight angle towards the artist which promotes a better posture. Being comfortable is very important.
Make sure you have good lighting. Learning how to draw cars is challenging enough. You do not need the frustration of poor lighting. Your lighting should be even so that there are no shadows or hot spots of light, so you may need more than one light source to draw with. There are specially made lamps for artists that produce light which mimics natural sunlight.
You can purchase these online or at art stores, but I have found that the professionally made lights for artists can be rather expensive. If you happen to live near a Home Depot or other home improvement center, try looking in their lighting department. I purchased my lamps there for under 20 dollars each.
As for what tools you should have on hand to draw with, there are no "One drawing tool fits all" formulas. You will have to experiment with different pens and pencils until you find the ones that are the most comfortable to draw cars with. It is probably best to have a variety of drawing tools on hand.
Many car artists have various pens, pencils, markers and even paints on hand to produce different effects. For instance, some car artists prefer to work with Prismacolor "Verithin" pencils for sketching fine lines and for light shading. Other artists prefer the convenience of mechanical pencils as there is no sharpening needed. Mechanical pencils are not the best for shading in areas however. So you see, having a variety of tools on hand to draw with is essential.
Paper is another item of personal choice. Again, you have to experiment. Just like pens and pencils, there are also a variety of drawing surfaces. Try your favorite pens and pencils on various surfaces. Drawing surfaces have different textures and thicknesses and your drawing mediums will behave differently depending on the surface and how you apply them.
You may also find guides helpful to draw with. Some car artists prefer to use ellipses and straight edges to help create straight lines and circles, while others work free hand.
If you do not happen to live near any art supply stores, you can always purchase your supplies online. Just go to any major search engine and type in "drawing supplies" and you will find plenty of online shops. My recommendation is Misterart.com. I have been buying my supplies there for a few years now and my shipments are always delivered fast and in perfect condition.
I hope these tips and instructions have given you more insight on how to draw cars. The most important thing with drawing cars, or any art for that matter, is to never give up. Keep practicing. Practice every day if possible and keep a sketchbook of your work so that you can keep track of your progress. You will get the hang of this and learn how to draw cars.
