texastrophies Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Three Days of Dale -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Wackerlin Senior Editor Posted Monday, April 24, 2006 The Earnhardt's have captured 15 Cup wins at Talladega. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is expected to announce that he will pilot a black Budweiser Chevrolet during the "three days" of on track action this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway in honor of his father's induction into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. No track, but Talladega would be the perfect place to run the tribute car, as the late Earnhardt dominated at the superspeedway during his career winning 10 Cup Series races there. Combined both Earnhardt's have captured 15 wins, 35 top 10s and have led 1869 laps at the 2.66-mile speedway. Earnhardt will join Harry Gant, Janet Guthrie, Jack Roush and H. A. “Humpy” Wheeler to make up the IMHOF class of 2006. More details of this special paint scheme that will resemble the famous No. 3 could come in Tuesday's NASCAR NEXTEL Teleconference where Earnhardt Jr. will be the guest. Earnhardt Jr. is also scheduled to appear live on QVC’s For Race Fans Only from Talladega on Friday at 8 p.m. (ET). This could be the first time we see a die-cast version of the car. Unless an image of the special No. 8 Chevrolet becomes available prior to Friday, be sure to check back with RacingOne for photos of the car live from Talladega.

texastrophies Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Re: Black is Back in \'Dega That picture sent chills up my spine. This should be an interesting race. I predict the 8 will be in the lead at the end of the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowhntr Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Black is Back in \'Dega I'll be six rows from the top in the Moss-Thornton tower over start/finish. I'll tell ya'll when I get back what the crowds sounds like when that black 8 takes the checkers in the lead. I've got chills just thinking about it. I'm willing to bet that if it happens there will be a few tears shed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The all DEI cars in the Busch and Cup races are painted the same. If it was a ploy, I would think they'd only paint the 8 and not worry about painting the cars for Truex or Menard also.
