They kept saying that all through the race yesterday. He's racing under a new number, so shouldn't he be racing to get the first couple of races because of owner's points?

Dale Jr. will be taking over what is currently the 25 car, currently driven by Casey Mears, in 2008. The owners points from the 25 car will transfer over to the 88 team in 2008 regardless of number because it is still the basic core team from last year and nothing is changing except the driver, crew chief, and number. The owner , Rick Hendrick, is still the same so thus he keeps the points. And Casey Mears will move over to drive the number 5 car, currently piloted by Kyle Busch, in 2008.

i think of this is notably secure to assert that Jr would be utilising a vehicle next 300 and sixty 5 days subsidized via Budweiser. they have equipped an prolonged time dating with him and easily to enable it end could be loopy. yet another excuse i think of Bud would be decrease back with him is the comparable reason he chosen a team that drives Chevrolets. Dale and Chevy have been good jointly, they the two comprehend it and there is not any reason to alter. So next 300 and sixty 5 days I envision Dale Jr. utilising a Budweiser subsidized pink Chevrolet. what selection is on the element of that vehicle is in basic terms as much as Rick Hendrick and Terresa Earnhardt, yet while all individuals can pry that selection faraway from DEI i think of Hendrick can. additionally there is the reality that Dale Jr's Grandfather Ralph drove the 8 vehicle for the period of his occupation. If she has any coronary heart in any respect she could enable Jr have the 8. i might say there's a pair of sixty 5% possibility Dale Jr is interior the selection 8 next 300 and sixty 5 days.

Jr is taking over the 25 car next year and changing the # to 88. It won't be a new team, so he will get the points from Casey this season to help him make the first 5 races next season. Casey will move to the 5 car and get Kyle Busch's points.

Becouse the car is in the top 35 points and it is still a Hendrix car even though the number is being changed from 25 to 88

It's a rip-off either way !! Fastest 43 car's,Race the Daytona 500! Then you get a race like the final 30 lap's were in sundays race. Could you imagine that.... 500 miles of Kenseth and Jimmie going at it !!! You wouldn't be able to get your hands on a ticket, for the next 10 years !!!

Even though the number will be different, the team is still the same. Just the same as Casey will benefit from the points that Kyle has racked up this season. The points need to be claimed by someone!!!

The first answer is actually right. Mears is going to be the 5 team and Jr. will be the 88 team which is now the 25 team.
