NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. is shifting gears with his No. 8 merchandising.
Earnhardt announced on social media Friday that he has secured the right to use a stylized version of No. 8 and will forgo the original No. 8 logo used by his NASCAR team, JR Motorsports. His decision came two days after Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson filed an opposition claim with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to stop Earnhardt from putting that JRM version of No. 8 on merchandise.
“We are looking forward to the remainder of an already successful season,” Earnhardt wrote on social media.
