Today at 1:15 pm, Dale Jr announced he would drive the number 88 car. They say everyone saw it coming; however, I didn't have a clue. The 88 car used to be driven by another Dale, Dale Jarrett. Never thought that would be Dale Jr's new number though.
The new motto is his new number is twice as good as his old one, 8. The number is fine with me because it's still 8; however, the themes I just don't like. Green Amp Energy drink car theme and then a Blue National Guard theme. The National Guard car is okay but that green Amp car is hideous.
I'm still torn about how I feel about the whole situation of Dale leaving DEI and driving for Hendricks Motorsport. I understand why he wanted to leave his father's company(not his stepmother's, regardless of what she thinks); however, Hendricks? This is the home of the most "unliked" driver of all, Jeff Gordon. I still can't get over the idea that I would have to cheer for someone I love so much and him be a teammate of someone I can't stand.
I haven't really watched Nascar faithfully since Dale Sr's death and I don't know that I can again.
