Yesterday was an interesting day in Charlotte with this unveiling and Boy I have to give it to DEI-Ginn Racing, they have made it almost impossible for NASCAR fans - Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans who were upset that DEI didn't give Junior his number and in response were planning on booing the new driver of the #8, however now most of them are going to have a hard time booing that ride now that Mark Martin will be driving a partical schedule in 2008 in it (along with Aric Almirola).
Personally, I have alot of respect for Mark Martin, he's a class act all the way and if both Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Jr. are happy - there wishes with Martin driving this number, then so am I. Unfortunity I can't say the same for Aric Almirola, I would rather see him full-time in the Busch (Nationwide) Series next season instead, he needs more seat time. As for me booing the #8 next season, not going to happen even if Mark Martin wasn't driving it, I like the idea of a new number for Junior and the #88 has a huge history attached to it.
