No. 8 Car Unveiled at Lowe's Motor Speedway

The U.S. Army Chevrolet, owned by Dale Earnhardt Inc., will carry the No. 8 during the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup season. Veteran Mark Martin and rookie Aric Almirola will co-drive the No. 8 Chevy with Ryan Pemberton handling the crew chief duties.

"We are thrilled to be associated with the United States Army and representing our men and women in uniform," said Max Siegel, president of global operations for Dale Earnhardt Inc. "The No. 8 has a long tradition in the Earnhardt family and it is only fitting that it will be showcased on the soldiers' car that will be driven by Mark Martin, one of the most revered drivers in NASCAR history, and a young talent in Aric Almirola."

"As a proud partner of Dale Earnhardt Inc., the U.S. Army is honored to have the soldiers' car carry the No. 8, which has a rich tradition and a remarkable Earnhardt family legacy," said Michael J. Sullivan, U.S. Army deputy director of marketing and advertising. "We are excited about continuing the Army spirit in NASCAR and having Mark Martin and Aric Almirola driving the No. 8 Chevrolet."

Along with Martin and Almirola, DEI's driver lineup for the 2008 Cup season includes Martin Truex Jr., Paul Menard and Regan Smith.
