It was announced today that Dale Earnhardt Jr will run in Dale Jarrett's old number. Anyway its a great looking car. Check out the links to see the article...
It appears that Junior is out, however, I think its a good thing for him to leave DEI and start anew at Hendrick Motorsports. I am sure that if he Made The Chase, and happen to win it. I am sure Theresa would do what she could to keep him and the #8... Just bail out now Junior and go to HMS and… More with Gordon and Johnson, it will be a force to be reckoned with...
Hello everyone. I have been trying to create an editors blog about this but the site is buggy so I thought I would post in the forums. Dale is on the bubble for this years point chase. What do you guys think will he make it??? And if he does how will he do. Does he have the car the team or the… More experience to bring home his first Nextel Cup Championship??? My opinion is that he will make the chase but that's about as good as it will get. He is working really well with the DEI team eventhough he is leaving them after this year. He has had way too much bad luck (like this past week he had an awesome car but then problems late in the race). I love him but just don't think he is a championship contender this year. (Maybe next year with Hendrick). Post your thoughts and opinions!!
Well it has been finalized. Junior will not be in the number 8 next season. I am pretty sure that DEI is asking way too high of a price for the number. Even though it is NASCAR who techinically owns all the numbers. I think the owners rent them from NASCAR, via contract. I am sure DEI is trying to… More sublet the number to Junior via Hendrick, but the price is too high, so Little E, maybe in some kind of 8-ish number.
I was really sad to find out that Bud wasnt going with him. I think that fits his personna so perfectly. Who do yall think the new sponsor will be. I have heard Visa, Pepsi and Mountain Dew. I also hope he gets to keep the number 8. I heard through the rumor mill that Hendrick bought the rights to… More the number as a sign on gift. But then I have heard the number 81 thrown around also. What do yall think???
Man is Dale Earnhardt Jr. sooooooooo cute. He's such an awsome racer. Wish he could have stayed with the 8 car but now that he has switched to 88 he's doing so much better. He's actually able to win without having anyone riding on him about losing all the time and about the car braking down all the time. Now that he's with Hendricks he's able to do so much more than he was able to do when he was with his dads company. He would have done really good this year if he stay with his dad's company but one never nows. It's good for him to be with the new company.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has had a lot happen in his life. From the day of his dad's death to his move to Hendrick Motorsports. When he was a child, his father sent him to a military school. He later got into racing because his father raced in the Nascar Winston Cup Series. His father was legendary. Then, his father made Dale Earnhardt Inc. His son joined the team. Dale suffered a very hard loss when he was racing for the win in the 2001 Daytona 500. While he was crossing the finish line in 2nd place, behind his teammate, Michael Waltrip; his father was killed in a head-on crash in Turn 3 with Kenny Schrader. That was Dale Jr's 2nd year of racing. Then, in 2007, he departed from Dale Earnhardt Inc., and joined Hendrick Motorsports. That's where his career is stands today. I give him a 9.5.
With a handful of laps to go Dale Jr's motor lets go. I have been a fan of him and his father for atleast 20 years. Junior is still on the bubble for the Chase for the Cup. I hope he holds on and gets in. We shall see what he does when he gets to Taladega. Will he help Truex Jr, or will he already partner ahead with Gordon and Johnson?
Next week is at Pocono, I hope Junior fairs a lot better to solidify his position in the Top 12.
I am wondering if DEI is going to let Junior take the #8 with him. I have heard rumors of him racing under some type of Pepsi Corp car.
Dale Jr is a very talented driver or is he? He had such a strong rookie season, but latley hasn't been much. He is still one of my personnel favorites, but I have had to ask myself latley. Is he that good or is he only so famous because of his daddy. His daddy is no doubt the best of all time but I dont think Jr has what it takes to be an all time great.I thought he did during his first few seasons but now I don't. He has great looks and can drive a car but apparently it takes more than that to make it in the "Nascar" world. Review some more of your daddy's tapes and see what happens Dale. Or perhaps he has just been having some long running BAD luck! Only time will tell!
I didnt like earnhardt but I have grown to like him. Im still a gordon fan though. anyway a lot of people are against him this year because hes going to hendrick. its his life and his career and if he wants to win then hendrick was the right decision.
Before I said that I didnt like him but I realised it was his fans I didnt like. Some of them are arrogant and rude. Some of them throw beer cans at the 24 car. But that isnt jrs fault and so i dont blame him for it. -24chevyfan
Ps. Im happy he is going to hendrick.
