Dale Earnhardt Jr. saw red – and lots of it – Wednesday morning in Las Vegas.
But it’s all good, as Junior unveiled the paint scheme his No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet will carry for the 13 Sprint Cup Series races next season that will be sponsored by Axalta.
The most notable feature of the new paint scheme is its bright red base color, sure to get lots of attention from fans and also fellow drivers who may see it coming up fast in their rearview mirrors.
Let’s take you to Las Vegas for the unveiling video, as well as a few other select tweets that were pretty poignant:
