NASCAR Racing: Daytona 500 (2008) Cast & Crew

It's a golden anniversary for ``The Great American Race'' and a golden opportunity for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who makes his debut with powerhouse Hendrick Motorsports today in the 50th running of the Daytona 500. Earnhardt will drive the No. 88 Chevy for the Hendrick team, winners of six Daytona 500s, leaving the No. 8 car and DEI in the rearview mirror. While Junior begins anew, three-time Daytona champ (twice in the 88 car) Dale Jarrett will race in his final 500. Field consists of 43 cars driving on Daytona's 2.5-mile tri-oval.
