Now that we know Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Budweiser have reunited to bring the iconic red No. 8 car back to the race track for November’s South Carolina 400 at Florence Motor Speedway, is there a chance we can see that race car at more Late Model Stock Car races in 2025?

Times may change, tradition rolls on which is why Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Budweiser are reuniting to bring back one of the most recognizable paint schemes in racing history. The NASCAR Hall of Famer will drive the historic No. 8 Chevrolet with the iconic Bud King of Beers paint scheme once again for a limited series of Late Model Stock Car Races in 2024 and 2025. The paint scheme will make its return to the track for the first time in 17 years on November 23, 2024 when Earnhardt Jr. competes in the South Carolina 400 at Florence Motor Speedway.
