Quote selected text Published May 7th, 2008 in NASCAR News
The final session of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series test session at Lowe’s Motor Speedway featured three incidents as the two-day test concluded. Roush Fenway Racing’s Jamie McMurray led the final of six sessions.
McMurray led the field with a lap of 185.720 mph. Penske Racing’s Ryan Newman, Red Bull Racing’s AJ Allmendinger, Haas CNC Racing’s Scott Riggs and Gillett Evernham Motorsports’ Patrick Carpentier rounded out the top five.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. crashed his No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet during the session, sustaining enough damage that he parked the car for the night. Dale Earnhardt Inc.’s Regan Smith and Penske Racing’s Kurt Busch also scraped the wall in the session, all in separate incidents.

I like Jr’s appearance better when he had it all clean shaved.
Off topic I know, I was just examining the picture.

not me, Makes him “fit in” with the rest of the hendrick lineup, Its just not him
Looks like they were pushing the envelope with set-ups and some found the outer-limits.
I wonder who wrecked him this time
I doubt anybody wrecked him. He probably wrecked himself. He isn’t invincible.

Back on topic ~ I liked Jr’s appearance much better when he was racing go-carts… where he CURRENTLY BELONGS.
Was Kyle there? I Know JR couldn’t be the blame.
Lots of people with JR ENVY!

I agree with you as in the “it’s not him”. I like that he keeps
his true image. But I was impressed with how he looked at
the beginning of the season.
I like the unshaven look….if you look past the beard; there’s a resemblence of his father starting to show
What I like about Dale Jr is he is his own man. He is highly respected on an off the track.
True, many are jealous of him, but that is their problem, not his.
As for his look, he looks his best when he is focused just before a race. He has eyes like a hawk.
He my number one driver
Sec on my list is Mark Martin
Third is Tony Stewart, he takes no prisoners
Least favorite on my list is K Busch.
JR looks good with a beard and without one.
He could shave his head and still be #1 to me …..
Amazing how some people take such little things and try to make a big deal out of them. JR aint the only driver to wreak at testing, Lord give it a rest !!
