Joey Dumond’s garage is dedicated to his love of the sport.

Once a race car driver himself, Joey Dumond is a Nascar super fan. He has been amassing mementos and keepsakes to remind him of the good times he’s had at the track. Since he’s been collecting since the 1970s, he’s acquired a collection worthy of dubbing it a homemade Nascar museum.

“Once you race a few years you get it in your blood,” Dumond said.

Dumond bought his first car for only $400 in 1975, and raced his way into being the rookie of the year during his first season. His time on the track didn’t last long, only about three years until he got married and started a family. Joey’s brother, Ken Dumond, would actually go on to carry on the family legacy and win several championships behind the wheel.

There’s a shelf in Joey’s garage dedicated to Ken’s career. The shelf is overloaded and he says he still has lots more.
