NASCAR

Jeff Gordon's middle name is Michael.

Dale Jr. wanted to keep the #8 when he made his move to Hendrick Motorsports in 2008, but his former team owner wouldn't allow it. Junior originally drove for Dale Earnhardt Inc. (DEI), who was owned by Junior's stepmother Teresa Earnhardt. She refused to release the #8, so Junior chose #88.

Jimmie Johnson has been driving in the Nascar Cup Series full time from 2002-2013. In 2001, he only ran three races.

Dale Earnhardt is considered one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history, and is arguably it's greatest driver of all time.

But if you look past the seven NASCAR Winston Cup championships and 76 Cup wins, he was known as an ambassador to the sport, an elder statesmen of sorts. That's all not to mention his exciting driving style and drafting prowess.

U need 2 makes your question clearer, charlotte what?,charlote toes ,nail and etc.

It's Spy Dirty Mo.

Dale Sr. drove the #8 car in only one Nascar Cup Series race. It was his first race on May 25, 1975, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He started 33rd and finished 22nd. Dale did drive the #8 in 44 Busch Series races from 1984 to 1988.

If you own a Nascar team you probably don't make much money at all, and some might even spend more then they make. For drivers it all depends on who you work for, and for crew members it depends on what you do on the team.

But as far as owning a team, there is an old saying about racing, "To make a small fortune in racing you start with a big one".

The set 'used' is worth 10.00

Winston was force out of sponsoring certain things. Then Nextel stepped in, thus we now have the nextel cup. Winston was also force out of NHRA drag racing, now we have the poweraid championship. After it was deemed illegal to advertise tobacco products, Winston was forced to stop sponsering NASCAR's premier series.

The Indianapolis Speedway (Brickyard) is 2 miles (10560 feet) long, Talladega is 2.66 (14044 feet) miles long. Approximately 3480 feet longer.

He wasn't allowed much in the form of decision making at DEI, and he had a close friendship with Hendrick and his late Son, It was the obvious move. I to am happy he did. Answer

Because he's a smart guy. Let's face it Hendrick's got it figured out. Gordon and Johnson are great drivers, (especially Gordon), and Hendrick's domination in the last 10 years is unquestionable. Also, the Hendrick team has figured out the Car of Tomorrow, and have won nearly all those races this year. Junior wants to drive for a winner. And you can writhe and Nash your teeth all you want, but this is a winning team.

At last, Gordon and Junior are teammates. Yeah. I like it. What do you think all the hillbillies with summer teeth are going to think of their boy Junior now? Their faith in the system must be really in doubt.

It's a great move for Hendrick, it's a great move for Junior, and now we'll have a product in the Hendrick team with him replacing Kyle Bush, that isn't so unpredictable.

Yeah, Jeff and Junior. What a team.

In 1999, Mike Skinner drove the #31 car in the Nascar Cup Series.

I'm not sure if it the factually correct answer, but the widely accepted largest, most improbable comeback was Bill Elliott at Talladega in 1985. He made up over 5 miles that year after I believe an oil pump died on him.

The Highest Paying Trucking Jobs Are:

1. Ice Road Trucking

This type of trucking is the highest paid type of trucking job. The reason for this however is due to the dangerous nature of such a job. This job consists of driving across frozen icy roads in northern canada to deliver cargo to miners in the winter. The drivers who operate these types of CMV’s have to be highly skilled and qualified for the position. Most truckers who apply for ice trucking positions are denied because each shipping company’s qualifications are so high.

If you do somehow manage to meet their criteria and get hired as an ice road truck driver, you can expect it to be worth your while. While the work is seasonal, you can earn between $30,000 and $40,000 in as little as 3 months.

2. Hazmat Hauling

Hazmat Hauling is compensated well because it tends to be another one of the more dangerous types of trucking jobs available. Transporting hazardous materials including gases, flammable liquids and corrosive substances comes with it’s own set of dangers on the road. Delivering these goods safely takes extra care and can’t be performed by just anybody. In order to haul hazardous materials you are required to obtain an endorsement in addition to your CDL, this endorsement is acquired by passing a test and paying a fee.

Because hazmat hauling drivers are in such high demand you can typically find companies willing to pay your endorsement fees to get you certified.

3. Tanker Hauling

Aside from hazardous liquids, there are many liquids in need of transportation that don’t pose extra danger to the truck driver. These would be non-flammable liquids like milk or water. A very large amount of these liquids is less dangerous than hazardous ones, but still challenging to transport and requires a skilled driver to deliver the goods safely and effectively.

This is another trucking job that will require a CDL and an endorsement on top of that. Typically you will need either an N endorsement or an X endorsement. Once you’re certified to drive a tanker truck you can expect to earn around $60,000 a year.

4. Oversize Load Hauling

We’ve all been behind an oversize load unable to pass such a large truck at times. This trucking job deals with the largest loads that can be shipped, typically they contain things like construction equipment or even a small house. Pulling such a massive load onboard your truck requires a high level of skill and while an oversized load doesn't require any additional endorsements or certifications, you do have to consider other endorsements needed if the load contains any hazardous materials or liquids.

Truckers hauling oversized loads make an average of $55,000 per year. However, it's possible to make upwards of $90,000 with the right company. These jobs are known for their competitive pay.

5. Luxury Car Hauling

Luxury cars are incredibly expensive. It only makes sense to pay the delivery driver of this expensive cargo a proper wage to ensure its delivered safely to its destination, right? Transporting luxury cars is known to earn the truck driver up to $100,000 each year under the right conditions.

Delivering an expensive car can be meticulous work. Even if you think you fit the bill, it can be incredibly difficult to even get hired for this kind of trucking job without an extensive and very impressive driving record. While you will have to demonstrate your skills in the field, you don't actually need any additional certifications to perform this job.

6. Team Driving

Team driving is where a company will hire drivers in pairs, one partner drives as the other sleeps, trading off driving time to increase the distance they can travel in a set time. This type of position pays more than a solo job because the mileage is much higher. Team driving jobs, like oversized loads are often found offering competitive pay.

The downsides to team driving can be summed up in the following categories:

Much longer stretches away from home

You will be stuck with your partner whether you like them or not

Close quarters for long periods of time

7. Owner Operator Jobs

While it’s more common to find truckers who work for a larger trucking company, there are other ways. Owner-operators purchase their own trucks and trailers to operate independently, or even lease their equipment to a different company. This is opposed to how most drivers use equipment that belongs to their company of employment.

Owning your own trucking equipment is considerably more expensive due to the initial expense of the equipment and the maintenance costs which all come out of pocket. Working in such an independent nature comes with higher expenses, but also can yield a higher reward.

In Nascar, the blue flag with a yellow stripe is shown to slower drivers on the track to let them know that faster cars are approaching. It's telling them that they should move out of the way.

Kerry Earnhardt's mother's name is Latane Brown. She was Dale Earnhardt Sr's first wife.

Yes, at least once. In April of 2000 a four-game series between the Red Sox and Indians was rained out due to five straight days of rain in Boston. The series was made up in September, when the two teams had to play eight games in five days, including three double-headers. (I was at all eight games! Unemployment has its good side.)

The Average Salary of a Racer is 149,000 a year. Now this of course varies as of what you are racing/how good you are. But this is a average for all the racing. It also depends on how many races you win...if you are in NASCAR you can probably make about 150-200k average per race
