Dale Earnhardt Jr #88

2008 National Guard Citizen Soldier Chevrolet Impala SS

1:24  Scale NASCAR Diecast

By Action Racing Collectables

Race Date: May 17th – NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race 
Dale Earnhardt Jr drove a special Citizen Soldier paint scheme

in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Dale Jr wanted to run a car that looked like the “Grey Ghost”

that Buddy Baker drove. The majority of the design work

was done by Jim Gravlin at Hendrick Motorsports

This special monochromatic paint scheme features

an all black and silver design with a hint of red

and only a few contingency logos in full color.
3 Doors Down dedicated a song they wrote for

National Guard Citizen-Soldiers NG Soldiers are "Citizen"

in time of peace - "Soldiers" in time of need.
Brad Arnold, lead singer from 3DD, lives in Jackson,

Mississippi and during Hurricane Katrina saw first
hand how the 50,000 activated National Guard Soldiers

were providing disaster relief by saving

lives and providing medical care.

This helped inspire him to write the song "Citizen-Soldier"

as a tribute to these local "Hometown Heroes"
