It’s a done deal. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. will not be driving in the the #8 car for Rick Hendrick Motorsports.

“We’ve been working hard to secure the No. 8 for Dale Jr.’s car number next season,” Hendrick GM Marshall Carlson said. “Obviously, he has a tremendous history with that number, and we know how important it is to his fans. Unfortunately, we couldn’t reach a point where the terms made sense, and now we have to move forward with other options.”

So what does this mean for you Little E fans out there. Little E has expressed an interest in using the #81 next season, a number he has used in the Busch Series before. Or maybe just maybe, he will use the #6.7
