Red to green
If you are/were a Dale Earnhardt, Jr. NASCAR fan, the image of his bright red, number 8, Budweiser sponsored race car will be hard to erase from memory next year, as he begins a new chapter of his career with Hendricks Motorsports, driving the green 88, Amp Energy Drink sponsored car; or depending on the race involved, a blue 88, National Guard sponsored car. If you have a number 8 tattoo somewhere on your bod, then you may want to go get a second digit placed beside it. And, now is the time to buy his old number 8, Budweiser gear, because it's going to be highly discounted for the remainder of this racing season. When I was at Bristol Motor Speedway last month, his gear was selling at a 50% discount. The lines were long as his faithful "red horde" fans opted to buy just one more thing in red.
