SHOP: Dale Jr. Axalta gear
Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Axalta have revealed their paint scheme for the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. The unveiling took place on Wednesday via the @AxaltaRacing Twitter handle and in Las Vegas during Champion's Week.
In October, Axalta and Hendrick Motorsports announced that the coatings company was moving its primary sponsorship to Earnhardt's No. 88 Chevrolet with Jeff Gordon ending his full-time racing career in 2015. Axalta also expanded its number of races as a primary sponsor from 10 to 13 while extending its deal with Hendrick to 2018.
This 2015 season marked the 23rd year of partnership between Axalta and Hendrick.
Here is a look at the Axalta paint scheme that was on Gordon's No. 24 Chevrolet in 2015. This particular look was on track at Texas Motor Speedway in the second race of the Eliminator Round in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
