Well at least your not having to get Re-Tattoed again
Remember the adds when he changed from 8 to 88.

I well remember those ads --- some of them were hilarious.

Good for Jr, we already know what the paintjob is going to look like cause he's already been running it, great looking car. Although I was never a fan of Jaws, I always loved the Mountain Dew car from 81-82. For those other races, National Guard should split time with Krispy Kreme, Carrowinds, & DC Comics...

I agree. Those Regals were the best looking cars of all time in NASCAR.

That was a good commercial...doesn't it seem like FOREVER ago that Jr. drove the number 8? Or maybe it is just me....

It does seem like a long time ago in some ways...
Don't y'all still hate the Wicked Step-Mother for not letting him have the number? What a tool!

Did'nt we have a discussion not long ago the the number belongs to NASCAR not the Teams/Drivers? Hmmmmmm

At first I didn't like it as a fan of his but anymore, it doesn't really matter. It's just a number.

While that is true, a team can relinquish the number and another team can claim it. Or, a team can hold on to the number, if they keep it an active number.
When Sterling Marlin drove the 4 to Victory at Daytona (twice), he drove for Morgan-McClure. They wanted to hold onto the number. (Didn't Tony Stewart want that number for his car?) But now it's on Kasey's Red Bull Toyota. Maybe their time ran out?
Sooner or later the 8 will again be available in CUP, I would think.

Tony always wanted the 14 he's a big AJ Foyt fan and when he started the 39 team I beleive Red Bull already had the 4???

The "good old days" ??
If Theresa had relinquished claim to the #8, nascar would have given it to Jr.

Here's a link to Junyers new paint scheme http://www.jayski.com/schemes/2012/88cup.htm
I was surprised! Figured it would just be a rehash of the old school Mt Dew paint, I like it Looks Just like a can of Diet Mt Dew!

Cool pics. I like it as well.
Same here. Not the same old re-hash of the 80s.

Just got the email from NASCAR.com, MD Earnhardt gear already on sale. A license to print money!
No Red Bull just got the 4 this season SHR has been around since 2009. Red Bull started at the 83 and 84 switched to the 82 and 83 for some reason and then switched the 82 to the 4 when Kahne came on board. Morgan McClure was still trying to race when Tony started the team, but now when was the last time they showed up?

Your right, I forgot about that they had the boy in the car a few times trying to make some Cup races.
