Fans hoped that the broadcast booth would feature a segment on the iconic car and talk about its history and the significance it had on the sport for all of these years.
I sure hope that @NASCARonNBC @DaleJr @JeffBurton and others on the broadcast and pit reporters talk and show this car. For @mmschocolate and all the fans.

But we are sure that he will always be remembered for the two championship wins he collected under his belt with that iconic paint job and Joe Gibbs Racing.
