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.

For anyone who has been a Nascar fan since Mark`s beginnings and beyond,there is no doubt Sr. would approve of that guy driving anything he was involved in cause of the racing respect each had for the other.Jr has also said that they couldn`t have put a better guy in there.Growing tired of all the people knocking Mark and any real Nascar fan,wouldn`t...the ones who keep whinning are the New bunch of fans,not from the South,where,Nascar was born,but everywhere else that has made Nascar become what it is today,Crap.Thanks
