MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2006, will go down as a watershed moment for JR Motorsports.
Late in the evening the crew fired off the very first in-house, No. 88 Chevrolet to be powered by a Richard Childress Racing motor. The Hopkins chassis was skinned by the JR Motorsports fabrication department that is headed by Robert, Junior and Jimmy Gee. The Gee brothers are uncles of car owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the sons of racing fabrication pioneer Robert Gee Sr.
