Dale Earnhardt Jr. Unveils All-Star Race Paint Scheme
CONCORD, N.C. (May 18, 2017) – NASCAR’s most popular driver kicked off the biggest all-star weekend in sports on Thursday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, when Dale Earnhardt Jr. unveiled the colorful, Axalta and Maaco-sponsored No. 88 Chevrolet SS he will drive in Saturday’s Monster Energy All-Star Race.
The winner of the 2000 All-Star Race, Earnhardt revealed his car at a Maaco event in front of the speedway. Earnhardt chases his second All-Star crown Saturday and his first Coca-Cola 600 victory on May 28 in his final season as a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver.
“This design is very bright, it shows up well and the fans really love this car,†said Earnhardt, a native of nearby Kannapolis, North Carolina. “I know the car’s going to look excellent out on the race track. … To get a win in the All-Star race (in my final season) – especially with great partners like Maaco and Axalta on our car – this is a great-looking car and I can’t imagine it looking better except for it to be in victory lane.â€
Charlotte’s showcase of speed and sound builds to an exhilarating crescendo with the 58th running of the venerable Coca-Cola 600 – the world’s ultimate test of man and machine – on May 28.
