Dale Jr. to Race Vintage Earnhardt Paint Scheme on Father's Day

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 NASCAR Busch Series.
"I love that era, and I like the look of the car," said Earnhardt Jr. of the vintage Bud machine. "If I can't go back in time and race in the 1950s or the 1970s, 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."
Driving a cream-colored #8 car, Ralph Earnhardt finished in the top 10 of the NASCAR National Sportsman point standings six times, won more than 350 NASCAR races, and was selected as one NASCAR's Top-50 all-time best drivers in 1999. He passed away in 1973.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has driven the predominantly red No. 8 Budweiser car to 17 victories since joining the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series in 1999. He became the first third-generation NASCAR champion when he won the first of two consecutive Busch Series titles in 1998. Dale Jr. is also the host and executive producer of the television show, "Back in the Day" on SPEED (Mondays, 9 p.m. ET), a show that celebrates the vintage era of NASCAR racing in the 1970s.
