Posted: 5/31/2006 3:56:53 PM | On Father's Day at Michigan, the latest in DEI's line of tribute paint schemes will take to the track when Dale Earnhardt Jr. races a "throwback" No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet in a nod to grandfather Ralph and father Dale.
The predominantly cream-colored car will feature vintage Budweiser bow-tie logos which were introduced in 1956 -- the same year Ralph Earnhardt won the NASCAR National Sportsman title, a series that eventually became the modern-day Busch Series. Dale Earnhardt also raced a similar paint scheme when he began his NASCAR career in 1974 -- the same year Dale Jr. was born.
I love that era, and I like the look of the car," Earnhardt Jr. said of the vintage Bud machine. "If I can't go back in time and race in the 1950s, at least I can drive a car that looks like it's from the '50s. I've always liked bold, simple paint schemes, and it'll be cool to drive a car that looks so similar to what my dad and grandpa drove."

ok now lets keep it going and feel free to express your opinions and predictions about Jr and race related topics without being harassed or attacked.
For those of you that might not know or not already have it........track pass is free all this week.........listen to practices, qualifying, busch race, truck race and of course the nextel race saturday night. If you have never done it, check it out, it's awesome to hear the in car radios. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 1:29:28 PM | Track pass was how we watched er.... Listened to the bud shoot out that was rained out this year.
Its ok but there seems to be too much of a delay for nascaar not wanting us to hear what the drivers really have to say when they get mad. | |

And of course ya gotta love seeing that #8 car popping up every now and then ......thats one movie I will be buying for sure. Hmmmm did anyone else notice there was no 48 car in the movie..... | |

Posted: 7/20/2006 4:27:25 PM | | The 48 car and team are concentrating on winning the Nextal Cup, instead of trying to be a movie star and will have the last laugh..... | |

Posted: 7/21/2006 10:56:05 PM | | The 48?? Are you kidding me?? Yup, the guy has been on a run for what......about 1 1/2yrs now. Good on him. But he lacks the luster needed to bring the bucks to the sport. Nascar wants to see and Jr., and Stewart, a Gordon (and not Robbie either) to win the Nextel Cup. All it does is bring the ratings up that much further:stop | |

Posted: 7/22/2006 2:17:14 PM | | you understand that 2 out of 3 of the drivers you say "NASCAR wants to see win the cup" weren't even in the chase last year? | |

Posted: 6/14/2007 2:44:44 PM | | Well hell yeah Jr welcome to Hendricks.....(NASCAR HENDRICKS CUP), now you can do whatever you want and no fines......oh yeah and a caution whenever you want it....the only thing I can see positive about Junebug going to Hendricks is the chance to see Super G cry when Jr beats him | |

Posted: 6/14/2007 7:12:37 PM | Now we will be able to see who really is the best driver in the business.
I wonder if the pit crews will remain the same as far as where Jr. is headed. Will he get Shrubs pit crew or will they wheel and deal to get Tony Eury Senior to come along for the ride???   | |
