No. 8 in '08
If you haven't seen it. Take a look at what the 8 car will look like next year:
Change is always hard for me. However, the new appearance of the 8 car for 2008 is SO different that it will make it a lot easier for me to disassociate Dale Earnhardt Jr. from it.
So now the only thing I will have to be concerned with in regards to this car is who is driving it ... Aric Almirola or Mark Martin.
It is a far nicer looking car than the one that Junior will be driving next year. (just my opinion, of course)
What do you think of the new look?

I like it. I agree it looks so different, most people will not associate it with Jr. It does remind me of the black #8 Jr drove at Talladega in 2006, though.

I am wondering if contract negotiations with Lorne Wallace are already in the works for 09? Remember he is made of lightning.

You'll really know the "new" 8 isn't being driven by NASCAR most popular mediocre driver if it ends up in victory lane.

We'll see next year when it's time to show us what he's got, Jacko. There will be no more excuses.

There is always excuses, every driver has a whole list.... blew a tire,got loose, he got into me,I got into him, no grip,weren't good enough....the list goes on. Too many 8's on the car, Not enough Amps, the guard just surrendered.
I am so happy to get this first win for Hendricks, my team was great,Amp Energy Chevy was good. I'd like to thank my step mother for making this all possible. You know if it wasn't for her being my dead daddy's wife, I don't know where I'd be today.I'd like to thank god that I wasn't pushing a DEI/Childress engine today.
That was just a portion of JR's first Hendrick win speech.

Tony Stewart interview- Whoa, this fence here at Daytona is high. I just feel so honored to be able to get this first Toyota win and to do it for Home Depot at this track. I had a good car all day. Had to bump draft,then move the 88 car. I guess his team mate didn't see him and put him in the wall. I'd like to thank Joe Gibbs for giving me this chance to prove Toyota racing is here in Nascar to stay.
