Junior's old-school Dew paint job
Posted: Friday May 09, 2008 06:56AM ET
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is an "old-school" racer, and he'll sport an "old-school" paint scheme this weekend at Darlington Raceway. Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet has a Mountain Dew paint scheme much like Darrell Waltrip's No. 11 Chevy from the 1980s. "I think the Mountain Dew retro paint scheme is very fitting for the history at Darlington," Earnhardt Jr. said. "The car itself is an old paint scheme on a new car, and we've got an old race track with a new surface."

Very cool retro tribute. The sales generated would finance electricity for NYC for a month.

Report Offensive Commenteveryday its something else, espn the magazines interview, is it me or does it seem like about every 3 months or so, there is something going on about how jr lost his dad, and a documentary and all that. It has been over 7 years, and they make stories of it likes its yesterday, no disrespect at all, but they need to let it go and talk about how jr is going to race this weekend or something, what about all of us that lose are dads. You know, I mean drop it media.. the paint scheme yeah cool, but its a damn paint job, like every other driver that has one a some point in the year.

Report Offensive CommentJr. fans are stupid.
If his last name were Smith no one would even care.

JR's paint jobs haven't been that impressive this year, I hope this one is better!

Report Offensive CommentAlso if his last name wasn't earnfart, Jr. would be pumpin gas or working on a farm somewhere....... OVERRATED. Like the Nike ads say "image" is everything! 2 years and counting.... He sold out to pappa hendricks. He will get his championship one day unfortunatly...
