“This is kind of the one that kind of started all the wild paint schemes,” Dillon said. “And it was a secret. That’s why we kind of unveiled it the way we did. They didn’t unveil this car until it rolled off the back of the trailer.”
Members from Earnhardt’s 1995 team attended Friday morning’s unveiling, including SiriusXM radio host Chocolate Myers, whom Dillon said nearly figured out the secret inadvertently during a recent interview.
“Chocolate was talking about what are we going to do for Darlington weekend,” Dillon said. “I said, ‘You’ll have to wait until we get to the track.’ He said last time that was done, it was a secret, too. So it was cool to have those guys be here and be part of it.
“It’s very special for everyone at RCR.”

It was our thing to do on Sundays, sit on the couch and watch Dale do his All the while yellin at Rusty, DW, Terry, and of course that new kid Gordon.
