Hey have you seen the car Jr will drive this weekend. It's a black Bud car in the paint scheme of SR. Eeery and cool at the same time. It's not the 3 but with the 8 it's about as close as you get short of adding Goodwrench. That ought to make him pretty racey.

Adition: All 3 DEI cars wil run that paint scheme but with their usual sponsors!

We seem to be on the same wave length today, Rave, I was just going to mention that on the other thread you started. Looks totally awesome. Love it.

Next question is when will he actually be driving a car that has the #3 on it?????

[Dupont4five]

I hope he did it to honor his father and not to get some publicity he has lacked all year long.

IMHO Jr won't ever be good enough to drive a car with #3 on it.

That may well be but that could also be said about all the other drivers that take over for a legend. Harvick is in the Goodwrench car, Mears is in the Texaco car ......etc. The list just goes on and I do respect your opinion and may even agree but the truth is Dale Sr. was Dale Sr. no matter what # he rode in or what color or sponsor he had. Every driver is an individual and is unique.

Hey I saw this and I thought that all the NASCAR fans on this forum would appreciate this. I never met a NASCAR fan that didn't like Dale Earnhardt. Lets just hope that his son stays cool headed unlike his father. Here is the link...ENJOY

Thanx for the link, peteb, we're already on it. Ghost of the 3 thread. Still a cool lookin car, isn't it?

All of the cars will have that paint scheme, not just Junior's. So we'll have three cars on the track. Yeah. And I seriously doubt if Junior will ever lack in the publicity department. He's one of my favorite drivers not because of his last name, I like him because he isn't a spoiled brat like some other brothers I won't name.

I hope Jr. will drive a cleaner race than Sr. ever did. (I didn't mean to wreck him I just wanted to rattle his cage a little.)

one thing about that race I always wondered.

if Terry Labonte had new/fresh tires and Dale Earnhardt hard older tires, how did Dale get tp him off the turn,Labonte had already passed several cars including Dale.

how did Dale get to him ???? simple Labonte slipped! he was at fault as much as Dale was.

Dale could wheel a race car like no other. Remember the "pass in the grass" at Charlotte for The Winston in 1987? Elliot had a better car, but Earnhardts superior driving skills won out. Yea, a lot of people didn't like him, but NOBODY could handle a stock car like him. He was at his best when they still had bias ply tires. The man was amazing.

[oncea3fan]

is there a diecast of this car yet ?

[rave20]

If only we could buy stock in those replicas...we'd all be rich!!

[rave20]

I miss those bias ply's. Cars sliding sideways around the track, never knew if you'd get a good or bad set...made it more fun I thought. In fact forget this COT thing and all the rest. Bring those back and you'd have competition again...guaranteed! Incidentally when those went away so did Rusty Wallace. He was great on those.

I disagree wth your statement about SR. though. I think Tim Richmond would have been his nemesis like Pearson was Petty. Tim could wheel anything!!
