Today’s driver and car: Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s No. 8 Chevy never became as iconic as his father’s black No. 3, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Joe Weatherly won a pair of championships in the 1960s driving the 8 car, while Kyle Busch wheels it today. In between, 17 of Junior’s 26 career Cup Series wins came in the No. 8 car, including the 2004 Daytona 500.
