Racing News for this week, well, so far this week

Each week, I'll keep you updated (or try to) on what's happening with Jr, I try get all my info correct, so most of it I'll supply from dalejr.com.


JRM to Field 3 Cars at Lowe's Motor Speedway
For the first time in JR Motorsports history the team will field three Chevrolets in NASCAR Nationwide Series competition in Saturday's CARQUEST Auto Parts 300 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Brad Keselowski will drive the No. 88 Navy Salute the Troops Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be a the wheel of the No. 83 Navy Dale Jr. Division Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, and making his JR Motorsports debut, Jimmie Johnson will drive the No. 5 Lowe's Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS.

(Which means I will definitely be watching Saturdays race!!)


No. 83 Memorial Day Weekend Paint Scheme

Saturday's race will mark the launch of the Navy's Dale Jr. Division, an 88-person boot camp division at Recruit Training Command. Earnhardt Jr. will drive the No. 83 Navy Dale Jr. Division Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS this weekend in support of the program. The national recruiting effort is the first of its kind for the Navy and will be supported by a marketing and advertising campaign that kicks off on Saturday as well.

Recruits who sign up for the Dale Jr. Division will ship to Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill., in late August and the division will be commissioned by Earnhardt Jr. after initial in-processing. Earnhardt Jr. will again visit "his" recruits upon completion of their seven-to-eight week course.
