Earnhardt Sponsor/# announcement

That's dandy and all, but i'd like to see him try and take a right-hand corner... ;)

Watch the races at Sears Point in California or Watkins Glen in New York.
Soon, the stock car boys should be at Mexico's old F1 track and the track formerly used for the Canadian GP (and named after an F1 champion), as 2 former F1 stars (one of whom's last name matches the Canadian track AND is a former F1 champ) race the stock cars.

But that is neither here nor there.

As for the announcement:
Dale Jr. WILL be racing an car sponsored by Mountain Dew, Amp Energy Drink, and the National Guard. His new number will be 88.

Gilles Villeneuve is whom the track is named after. His son is Jacques Villeneuve, who started in CART before moving to F1. Why he went to NASCAR is still baffling many people....

He wants to race w/ REAL RACE CARS on REAL TRACKS not a rigged series like F1 (F stands for FAKE), where they go so slow around a turn that you can see the letters on the tires, and no competetion passes since '97.

I purposely left him unnamed, as the people who care most already know.

I'll be curious how he will do. Besides, his mouth already had burnt too many bridges for Jacques in F1. He was probably finished there anyways. The fast teams wouldn't touch him and the rest couldn't afford what he wanted. In F1, the LAST thing to do is to publicly complain about your cars and team.

For Jacques, Sam Hornish and number of other well known open wheel driver looking for NASCAR rides are rampant.
Sam tried to qualify for this weekend's Nextel race, but failed.
