The "Gray Ghost" is back as a reincarnated version of Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 88 car.
Ahead of this summer's Bojangle's Southern 500, the Earnhardt camp revealed the redesigned car honoring the late Buddy Baker, who died shortly after last summer's Southern 500.

Aside from the lack of chrome numbers, the car is a phenomenal tribute to one of NASCAR's greatest racers. Making his debut in 1959, Baker won 19 times at NASCAR's top level during his three-and-a-half decade career.
