The Chevrolet Nova was authenticated using childhood family photographs. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
For almost two years, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been working to restore a vintage Chevrolet Nova that his father raced in the Busch Grand National Series back in the 1980s.
He acquired it in April 2019 and took it for its first public drive on the back roads that lead to the JR Motorsports shop last week. The car is being restored in advanced of NASCAR Throwback Weekend on May 7-9 at Darlington Raceway.
Earnhardt plans on leading the pace laps with the car in the moments leading up to the May 8 NASCAR Xfinity Series event. Dale Earnhardt Sr. was a three-time Darlington winner in Busch Grand National Series and twice drove the GM Goodwrench No. 8 to Victory Lane in what eventually became the Xfinity Series.

How to describe them? Most teams have several eras with different logos and colors to draw from even the 20-year-old
Blue Jackets got red-dominant jerseys this year but the Wings have had essentially the same crest for 90 years and the same red and white look for that entire time. (Don’t get us wrong, the Wings’ sweaters are an objectively great look, especially considering the reds’ ability to hide a mustard stain or two over the years.) And so, while the Wings were one of eight teams to get a white “Reverse Retro” theme, the other seven were able to draw on unconventional looks, from the Wild’s insistence they are the true heirs to the North Stars’ green and yellow to the Penguins’ war with the Rangers and Hurricanes over who invented diagonal type.
