Dale Earnhardt, Jr first raced in Winston Cup using the number 8 on a car owned by his father. 2000 was the only season father and son would get to race together. "Junior" has gone on to become one of the (if not "the") most popular drivers in NASCAR. Junior's half-brother Kerry Earnhardt also ran one race in the 2000 season, making Dale Sr. one of two drivers to race against two of his sons in the same race.
Which former Cup champion came out of retirement during 2016 to substitute for Junior after a season-ending concussion?
