History has seen its fair share of oddball collectors. According to Mental Floss, as we continue to create new things, the stuff that people collect only gets weirder and weirder. There’s a woman from Maine who collects umbrella sleeves. Not umbrellas, which would be quirky enough, just the sleeves. A North Carolina man has amassed a collection of over 800 back scratchers. British collector David Morgan somehow found room for his stockpile of more than 500 traffic cones. And Florida man George Frandsen’s collection of 1,277 coprolites, or fossilized feces, has earned him the nickname the “Indiana Jones of poop.”

In light of such oddball hoarders, the collection owned by NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt Jr. isn’t as crazy as it sounds. According to Jalopnik, the semi-retired stock car racer has created his own race car graveyard on his wooded North Carolina property that he calls Dirty Mo Acres. He and his friend Sunny Lunsford began hanging busted car engines from old oak trees back in 2005, and the vehicular graveyard only grew from there. He’s been acquiring cars wrecked during races ever since and stockpiling them out on his property. Let’s take a look at the old stock car bones that have been laid to rest in Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s NASCAR graveyard.
