Dale Jr Citizen Soldier Diecast

I was on eBay today and I found a few of the Dale Earnhardt Jr National Guard / Citizen Soldier die cast cars. This is the paint scheme that Earnhardt drove in the 2008 Sprint All Star Race.

The paint scheme was a retro design based on Buddy Baker’s ‘Gray Ghost.’ It seems Baker’s competitors complained about the cars gray color, making it hard to detect in the rear view mirror just before the car passed.

It was also a tribute to the National Guard and 50,000 ‘Citizen Soldiers.’ The band 3 doors Down wrote a song by the same name as their tribute to the men and women of the National Guard.

These cars are produced by RCCA - in a limited run of only 3,000. I’m thinking about buying one.
