Dale Earnhardt Jr. Explains How Much His Reunion With The Iconic Budweiser Scheme Means To Him

[@ryanwalker1593]

Ooooh that 8 is the best. Bringing my childhood back. Glad to see Jr having a good time.

[@BrianTaylor-v6q]

Those were sad days, but great days in 04. Loved seeing the number 8 Bud car, with Dale Jr. behind the wheel, gett'in it done!!! Great memories!!

[@etodd568]

Dale Jr made my mother a fan when he won his first NASCAR race @ The Texas Motor Speedway driving the Budweiser #8..as soon I saw it on the news I thought of her...☮🕊

[@tanker335]

He won me over off the track with the way he handled himself after his fathers death and he hasn't done anything in the years since to make me change my mind. Many children of celebrities are some of the most entitled, spoiled doosh bags on the planet. I've never seen any of that with him. He's a good young man with a good head on his shoulders. By the way, My wife and I attended the Busch race the previous day but couldn't stick around for the Cup race. Had to rescue Grandma from the kid we dumped on her.

[@scottyskydog]

This is a huge opportunity for Bud!!! This could be the beginning of Buds commercial come back! Plus it could bring back good memories! Best of luck Junior!

[@madmikescustoms]

Hell yeah brother glad to see him back behind the wheel again 🙏

[@noUGames]

Dale Jr is the drink man... Mountain Dew, Sun Drop, Budweiser

Omg seeing the red #8 bud car and Dale Jr driving it brings back memories . I stoped watching nascar when Dale Jr retired . I wish to god he would run the cup again with that car .

[@realSandyDog]

Just like old times.

Holy shit 🎉 amazing

[@paulereeves]

Love to see Jr driving again

[@stevenwalker9013]

He was winning that race if fuel pump didn’t break. He basically said he was just cruising waiting for the time to go for the lead. Good run JR

[@HenryHunt-fu6xe]

Hey JR., glad to see you hooked up with Budweiser again.

[@MachoMateoMuchacho]

Anheuser Busch was smart with this one. They know their old merch will be worn again whenever this car shows up and a bunch more merch and beer will be consumed. And it probably isnt costing them much

[@vinewood8295]

Woulda been really cool he roll in that sumbytch with a red Budweiser hauler and then won that race. I really hope there's more to come in this deal & that this ain't the end of it...

[@robbiepulliam1829]

I got to go to one of these races I got a clock of dale Jr from the 1990 I wanna get it signed by him and meet him

Love the car!

Same here!

#8 forever. Your the best Jr.!!

Car looks good

[@bevnracin]

Wish I was there Jr ❤

[@buckinright]

He he comes out to race with that hat backwards its on

[@HNNChamp]

Bud needed this to come back from their prior marketing mistakes.

[@CraftySasquatch]

Boycott Anheuser-Busch for eternity.

[@scottyskydog]

Absolutely!

[@mchristr]

Never been a Bud drinker but Jr. is a good dude. This certainly can't hurt after their recent advertising trainwreck.

[@sandyshelton40]

Love seeing this car back

[@rdaws73]

2004 was such a missed opportunity. Should have had a championship

[@DarrenShaw-ev5tb]

In-Bev is hoping this translates into sales ( Lol ) Go get em Jr !!

[@CraftySasquatch]

Boycott Anheuser-Busch for eternity.

[@americohernandez3774]

So new Budweiser jackets?!!

[@MegaMr46]

Hopefully Kyle Busch gets this iconic number look for Darlington 2025.

[@bighand1530]

Maybe Kyle Busch can pull off a Dale Earnhardt Sr and win the Daytona 500 after having a winless season.

[@jeffbennett7470]

Money well spent for Budwiser. Much-needed after some of their previous poor marketing decisions.

[@t.sewell1513]

Man….only if DEI could’ve thrived and continued to be successful.

[@mattsprayberry0]

I find it funny the people literally dug out their bud branded wear to support him

[@tanker335]

If you were a teenager in the mid 80's you might remember a corny scifi/horror movie called Day of the Comet about two sisters in L.A. after 99% of the population got turned into sand by said comet. The younger sister, rightly suspecting her older sister was cuter, spent the whole movie complaining she'd never meet a guy. Stay with me folks. I promise I'm going somewhere with this. At the very end of the movie, she's standing in a downtown intersection with no clue which way to go. Suddenly a kid comes shreeching up in a Lambo. She says 'nice car' He replies 'Thanks. I got 5 more just like it'. I imagine Jr could say the same thing about most of his iconic racecars. Some race winners, some not. All Jr. fans know he has a hard time letting go of race cars, especially tore up ones regardless of who tore it up. So we know collecting is in his DNA and the premium stuff is Earnhardt stuff. It stands to reason he has Bud and Mt Dew cars out the wazoo. I'm partial to the predominantly white Bud car with the red roof he won with in a July Daytona race.

[@ChrisMusson-kv8ph]

Looks like he dinged up the left front already.

[@dbag6993]

Maybe bud light is still digging out of a hole

Tired of him acting like no one gets excited or like he don’t have fans wish his dad was still alive wouldn’t have too worry he would still be in a cup car racing lol

Dale Jr sucks..qualified 45 wtf😂

[@Camh_71]

He was talking about how great car was did awful in qualifying then did nothing in the heat race. Now he’s rolling in the feature. Tonight’s race has been weird as hell thus far.

[@t.sewell1513]

You do know he’s been retired for years correct? And I’d bet a case of Budweiser that he’d put a whoopin’ on you at any track.

[@SimontheDog-v1h]

@@t.sewell1513 bet i'd quali better than 45th lmao

[@jk-kr8jt]

So the #8 is back ? That's not a cup car so, who cares? Jr just happened to use Budweiser to finance his late model ride. Big deal.

[@williamhodgden8970]

So Dale sells himself out over the woke bud.

[@jimjohn5348]

Why does it not have the 3 stripes from the front wheel towards the back wheel like the original 8 bud car was cause the way the 3 stripes was it made it kinda look like it was make a E on the side of the cars

[@EndlessFlameout4]

Because of Teresa

[@rdaws73]

Teresa owns DEI trademarks. She allowed the trademarked 8 styled number font to lapse so Jr could finally BUY his damn number back. At least she did that...

[@johnwray7761]

Flo racing has dropped the ball their broadcast is so unfocused. Why do we pay for this? You’re ripping us off.

[@johnwray7761]

As soon as this race is over, I'm canceling this subscription to flo racing. I should not have to pay for this as is terrible coverage in quality of picture
