SPEEDTV issued a press release that included the following exchange between Dave Despain and Darrell Waltrip. In recent weeks, there has been speculation that Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be sponsored by Budweiser and VISA. Apparently you can now throw Pepsi into the mix, if you read between the lines. This makes sense given the soft drink maker's longtime with Hendrick driver Jeff Gordon.
Despain: Do you think Teresa will give Hendrick the No. 8?
Waltrip: I don’t think that’s very likely. I really think he’s going to be stuck with 08, if he wants to keep 8.
Despain: Well, with the magic of the Internet, there’s already a Budweiser No. 5 car painted up. Here is what it might look like…
Waltrip: Well, I don’t think that will be true; I don’t think it will be Budweiser.
Despain: Do you know who it will be?
Waltrip: It will still be probably something you can drink – that would be my guess. And it won’t be in a red can.
