Damn! first they have to replace the motor and now this......

I wonder if the backup car has the 70,000 names of fans on it as well. (for more on this, go visit the Collector Corner Boards)

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I'm sure not do to the fact the 1st one took about 200 hours to finish.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevrolet will have a different look at Talladega Superspeedway, thanks to the "Ride with Dale Jr." promotion from AMP Energy. More than 70,000 names in 13-point font adorn the No. 88 Chevy for this weekend's AMP Energy 500. Hendrick Motorsports graphics director Jim Gravlin spent almost 80 hours developing a stencil for the wrap by hand and then used his computer to place the names. The entire project, which required five test trials, took roughly 200 hours to complete.

entire project took 200 hours...maybe now that they have the program to print them, they will have to only take about 4-5 hours to wrap the backup car.

(i can hope cant i?)

Yeah, I hope we get to see it on Sunday

My friend is going to the race this week-end so, I hope the back up car is the same LoL So, he can get some good photos of the car.

Lots of blown tires this weekend. I don't know if anyone caught the ARCA race, but they were blowing tires like crazy there too. Could be a demo derby as awlays on Sunday.

Damn, can't believe all the bad luck Jr. had today. Somebody better check that car and see if Kyle Busch's name is on it.

Just heard on Track Side that the back up car is got all the names on it too.
