See what the No. 88 Chevrolet will look like when Dale Jr. takes what could be his final Cup Series laps this year at Homestead.
You know we’re getting close to the end for Dale Earnhardt Jr. when we’re talking about Homestead. Even though Junior Nation probably wishes this season would go on forever (albeit with a few final wins), Earnhardt is going to step into the familiar No. 88 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 19 and then call it a career.
What we don’t know yet is what his Chevy will look like for that final ride, but we’re about to find out soon enough. The occasion is big enough that QVC is bringing back its beloved For Race Fans Only as a special one-night event, the focus of which will be unveiling the final Earnhardt paint scheme.
The only info that’s gone public about it so far is that Axalta, not Nationwide, will be the sponsor at Homestead. It’s an interesting situation, since Nationwide is more firmly entrenched in fans’ minds as Junior’s “primary” sponsor, but it’s something that was likely worked out among the companies months ago.
In any case, the Dale Earnhardt Jr. final paint scheme reveal will be carried live on TV and on Facebook, so here’s what you need to know to watch:
Date: Wednesday, Aug. 2
State Time: 7:00 p.m. ET
What: For Race Fans Only
Channel: QVC
Live Stream: QVC | Dale Earnhardt Jr. Facebook page
Next: Best live streams for sports and TV shows
Since this is QVC we’re talking about, a big part of this will also be the opportunity to purchase die-cast cars and apparel based around the Homestead scheme, but given the nature of this show, we’re guessing fans will not be upset about that part at all.
Be sure not to miss this chance to ride with Earnhardt Jr. one last time and do it in the colors he’ll sport at Homestead.
