Richard Childress Racing and the famous No. 3 Chevrolet are headed back to the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed -- two of them actually.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a four-day festival from June 25-28 held at the estate of Lord Charles March in West Sussex, England started in 1993. A variety of motorsports vehicles show off with demonstration and competition runs through the nine-turn, 1.16-mile hill-climb run.

Third-generation driver Kerry Earnhardt will drive the 2000 No. 3 Goodwrench Chevrolet Monte Carlo Dale Earnhardt drove at Atlanta Motor Speedway, beating Bobby Labonte by 0.01 seconds at the start-finish line.

Labonte will also be on hand for the festival, driving Austin Dillon's No. 3 DOW Chevrolet. This will mark the 2000 Sprint Cup Series champion's first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Both RCR cars will be prepared and cared for by award-winning engine builder Danny Lawrence. The longtime RCR and ECR Engines employee was also honored at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed for his continued support of the event and for his role in making NASCAR part of the event each year.
