Richard Childress Racing has elected to suspend use of the No. 8 and will run the No. 33 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and beyond. Kyle Busch was instrumental in the design of RCR’s stylized No. 8 and it has become synonymous with Kyle and an important symbol for his fans and the NASCAR industry. No one can carry it forward to the level that he did. The No. 8 is reserved and ready for Brexton Busch when he is ready to go NASCAR racing.

I would have associated the number 8 car with Dale Earnhardt Jr. I have not been following NASCAR and did not know Kyle had been hired by RCR.

Classy move, IMHO. 👍🏻👍🏻👏👏
Richard Childress Racing debuted the Number 8 car in 1981.
At sometime it went to Dale Earnhardt Incorporated.
The Number 8 car went to Chip Ganassi Racing and was shut down in 2009.
