Martin/Almirola in the #8 in 2008? Serious discussions are underway at Dale Earnhardt Inc. to place Mark Martin and Aric Almirola in a split role in an Army-sponsored No. 8 Chevrolet in 2008, sources close to DEI told ESPN.com on Thursday. DEI president Max Siegel said nothing has been finalized. "If there's anyone that would represent Dale Earnhardt Inc. and what the #8 means to this company it would be Mark Martin," Siegel said. "But there has been no official decision made on this yet." Sources explained that Army ran the #01 at Ginn in conjunction with its "An Army of One" marketing initiative, but given that that program has since been abandoned in favor of the new "Army Strong" slogan, the number change doesn't overtly affect Army's marketing focus. A Martin/Almirola split schedule in 2008 would leave the door open for another driver, possibly Greg Biffle, to join DEI full-time in 2009. Biffle currently has a contract with Roush Fenway Racing through the end of the 2008 season but has been speculated to be a candidate as Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s permanent replacement in the #8. It is uncertain at this point what this would mean for the #01, though sources say DEI "has several options" for that team.(ESPN.com)(8-23-2007) |

Those E stripes look ugly on that Army machine. That was one paint scheme that should not have been changed, it was unique and stood out from the rest of the field. Shame on DEI for destroying what was a great paint scheme. For the record I believe this weekends race at Bristol was the first for the E stripes on the 01 Army car. |

No Watkins Glen was, seems they only put that E Stripe on the COT. Smart actually no point investing in what will soon be outdated equipment. |

I like that. I mean Martin Truex Jr drove the 8 in the Busch Series so I don't thin he'd mind. |
