And here’s Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s 2017 primary Nationwide paint scheme for the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsport Chevrolet.

The new look was unveiled Tuesday afternoon.

Earnhardt, who missed the second half of this season with a concussion, is scheduled to begin testing next month and plans to be back in the No. 88 for Daytona Speedweeks next February.

This new scheme looks fast standing still, and even with his lengthy layoff, Earnhardt will be one of the favorites to win the 2017 Daytona 500.

Despite missing exactly half of the 36 points races in 2016, Earnhardt still managed to finish 32nd in points. In 18 races, Earnhardt managed four second-place finishes, five top fives and six top 10s.

For his career, Earnhardt has 26 NASAR Premier Series race victories, 148 top fives and 252 top 10s. He also has 13 poles.
