Photos of Dale Jr’s 70,000 Fan Car

It took more than 200 hours for the crew at Hendrick Motorsports to design and wrap the No. 88 Chevrolet with more than 70,000 fan names. Hendrick Graphics Director Jim Gravlin spent 80 hours just designing the stencil by hand before creating the project on his computer. Each name appears in 13 point font.

    Couldn’t find my name. A lot of names were covered up by logos. Can you send a picture of where it might be? Otherwise I like it.

    How do we know if our name is on JR’s car? I know I signed up immediately when QVC and JR announced it would be done for the first 70,000. I want to know if my name will be on the Dega car?
    Thank you,

    Actually, I don’t know where exactly your names are located on the car. Ampenergy.com is going to have a grid up by tomorrow — try checking over there.

    Otherwise, I guess you’ll have to head over to Talladega and see for yourself ;)

    My son’s name is on Dale, Jr.’s car. How awesome. I’m not sure who is more excited - my son or me. Dennis was at Talladega and saw his name. Thanks Dale, Jr. and we love you.
