TO: NASCAR - ATTENTION: MIKE HELTON, BRIAN FRANCE & JIM HUNTER CC: DALE EARNHARDT, INCORPORATED - ATTENTION: TERESA EARNHARDT & MAX SEIGAL FROM: THE FANS OF DALE EARNHARDT, JR. RE: THE NUMBER 8 WE THE FANS WOULD LIKE OUR VOICES TO BE HEARD. WE ARE VERY ADAMANT IN OUR BELIEF THAT DALE EARNHARDT, JR. BE ABLE TO KEEP THE #8 AS HIS CAR NUMBER. WE FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE A SLAP IN THE FANS' FACES TO LET ANOTHER DRIVER USE THIS NUMBER

I have compiled the signatures collected thus far into a formal dossier for delivery to the offices of Dale Earnhardt Incorporated. My next step involves securing a meeting with the communications team to discuss the historical significance of the number 8 to the fanbase.

The volume of support has reached a level that allows me to initiate formal correspondence with representatives at Dale Earnhardt Incorporated. I am drafting a letter outlining the depth of this sentiment to ensure these concerns are reviewed during upcoming leadership meetings.

The 8 is synonymous with the Earnhardt name. Why change it now? Leave it alone!

TOTAL GARBAGE. The fans deserve better than this. That number belongs to Dale Jr and nobody else.

Give the man his number back. Been a fan for 20 years and this is just disrespectful to the legacy.

Jr belongs in the 8. It just looks wrong any other way. Do the right thing.
