[autotag]Dale Earnhardt Jr.[/autotag] and [autotag]Budweiser[/autotag] are reuniting for what feels like one of racing’s most significant stories of 2024. On Tuesday morning, it was announced that Earnhardt and Budweiser will reunite to “bring back one of the most recognizable paint schemes in racing history.” Earnhardt will drive the historic No. 8 car in select Late Model races in 2024 and 2025.
Budweiser will sponsor the effort as the paint scheme resembles the one Earnhardt drove from 1999 through 2007. Also, the No. 8 on the car will be the style he made famous in the younger years of his career. The paint scheme will make its official return when Earnhardt competes in the South Carolina 400 at Florence Motor Speedway on November 23, 2024.
