DEI cars will all be black at Talladega

[shugo77]

All of the DEI cars will have a black paint scheme this weekend at Talladega. They will look a lot like the old black #3. it's going to be cool to see that paint scheme back on the track with an Earnhardt behind the wheel.

It really is cool. And the 8 looks close enough to a 3 that at 190 mph it will be hard to tell the difference.

The difference is that the 8 car will not finish first. And will most likely blame his crew for it.

Not this year. JR did a lot of growing up, it shows in his attitude and points.

He's won there before, wouldn't be surprised to see it again.

sounds like we have a person that doesn't watch much racing. jr has almost always blames himself as well as the team for the problems. i have never heard him just blame the team.

Junior generally tells it the way he sees it....
That said, he had not blamed the crew in a long time.

He has grown up considerablely in the last year.
He will take the blame when he's at fault.

The one thing I dislike is, when his Dad was around, Dad never qualified great, usually in top 20, but not top 10.
Junior on the other hand always qualified great, top 10's.
Now that Dad is gone, he usually qualifies like crap, worse than Dad most of the time, occasionally a top 10.
