dale jr.’s new ride revealed

Today’s big motor sports news is that Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced that his sponsors for next year will be the National Guard and two of Pepsi’s brands — AMP Energy and Mountain Dew. His new car number will be 88. So this was the most anticlimactic announcement ever. I’m just glad it’s all over and now they can just focus on racing and winning. That’s all the really matters in the end. I will say this though; the new car’s paint scheme is beautiful.

Yesterday Dale Jr. unveiled his candy bar. Yea, the Big Mo’ is coming to stores near you in January. I’m curious about what it tastes like. It’s got milk chocolate, peanut butter and caramel. Anywhoo… the cool thing about this is that there’s a sweepstakes you can enter for a chance to hang out with Dale Jr
