Here you go Jamie......

Since Dale Jr. probably won't win another race at DEI, I decided to build his second place car from Pocono a few weeks ago. I chose this car because of the fact that it ran so horribly for the first half of the race. During a caution that Jr. himself brought out, the team changed the left front shock and that completely changed this car. Restarting 26th, Jr. powered through the field into the lead. Unfortunately, Kurt Busch ended up winning the race..... with Jr. finishing second.

I used a Revell kit with some basic mods...... I cut off the kit rocker skirts and made some new ones out of sheet styrene, moved the exhaust to the right side, & lowered the suspension. The paint is Tamiya bright red over a white base with Transtar automotive clear all polished out. The decals are from Power Slide & JWTBM.

Very nice build. I'm not too much into that type of racing, but I could get into it with seeing this type of work. Detail work looks great. Adds a sense of realism to the car.
