Earnhardt: ‘A bright new race car with a great new partner’

LAS VEGAS — Dale Earnhardt Jr. was just as excited for the reveal of his No. 88 Axalta Chevrolet SS as everyone else.

After getting a good look at the brand new paint scheme up close, he talked with HendrickMotorsports.com about the occasion.

“I really love how bright and beautiful the car is,” he said. “I think it will stand out on the racetrack really well.”

He joked that his family — and fans — always let him know when his cars are easy to pick out from the pack on television.

“This is going to be an easy one to find,” he smiled. “Hopefully it’s up front.”
