So Dale Jr. will drive the 88 next year with sponsorship from Pepsi's Mountain Dew and one of their power drinks. The press release read they wanted to put away the party boy image and show a serious racer that could promote the brand. Oh did I forget the candybar "Big Mo" that Dale is promoting. They want to appeal to the "younger crowd" under 21. Well I guess that means screw us older Nascar fans that have the money and have been so loyal to Dale Sr., Dale Jr. and Nascar. This seems to be just one more thing to drive die hard fans of Nascar away. Nothing against "Kia", but it would not have been the same if Dale Sr. was sponsored by Kia instead of Goodwrench and this deal with his son seems about the same. What will they do next to us. Thankfully there is NHRA and I will remain a fan of that racing form as it expands.
