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!

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.
