He was really wanting to get that eighth championship to break the tie with Petty and Earnhardt. Plus one more win and he ties Waltrip and Allison for fourth on the all time wins list at 84. He's ten behind Gordon.

1982/83, Dale Jr with his dog Rocket, which looks exactly like Gus, the dog he had now, and Sr washing his F-150, the only pic I've ever seen with him and a Ford.

Dale Earnhardt’s first race car was a Ford. He Also drove for Bud Moore in the early 80’s.

Pic definitely makes sense now since it would be about the same time he drove for Moore. Can't believe I didn't know that, but hell, can't know everything.
