Dale Jr and Budweiser Reunite to Pay Tribute to Iconic Moment

What’s Happening?

Dale Earnhardt Jr and Budweiser are reuniting once again, this time to pay tribute to one of Earnhardt’s career-defining moments. For the Aug. 16 CARS Tour race at Anderson Motor Speedway, Budweiser and Earnhardt will run a special tribute to Earnhardt’s 2001 Pepsi 400 race win.

• The paint scheme, in particular, was originally a special collaboration between Budweiser and the 2001 MLB All-Star Game. Earnhardt drove the car during his return to Daytona International Speedway in 2001, bringing home a late race win.
• JR Motorsports has fielded a partial throwback to this car in the past, but this time around, Earnhardt and Budweiser will get as close as they can to the original paint scheme. The No. 8 will also carry supporting sponsorship from the MLB’s Aug. 2 Speedway Classic game at Bristol Motor Speedway.
• On Oct. 22, JRM first announced that the sponsor and driver were reunited with a paint scheme. Earnhardt raced this car, donning his “stylized” No. 8 in the South Carolina 400 at Florence Motor Speedway on Nov. 23.
• Earnhardt will race this car in the Aug. 16 CARS Tour Pro Late Model division race at Anderson Motor Speedway in Williamston, South Carolina. The green flag will drop at 5:00 p.m. EST, and the race will air live on FloRacing.
